MICHELIN Guide 2023 – Switzerland

Today, Michelin presented this year’s restaurant selection of the MICHELIN Guide Switzerland. For the second time, the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony took place at the renowned EHL Hospitality Business School in Lausanne, which was founded in 1893 as the ‘École Hôtelière de Lausanne’.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, commented, “Once again, Switzerland’s top gastronomy shows its adaptability in difficult economic times. The number of starred restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide remains at a consistently high level, with a total of 138 eateries being awarded One, Two or Three Stars in Switzerland this year, including many interesting new openings and impressive new Two Star level establishments.

What particularly struck our inspectors during their travels was the ever-growing – and absolutely justified – self-confidence of Swiss chefs and producers regarding their regional produce. From Appenzell lamb to Lostallo salmon, countless small-scale, passionate suppliers scattered throughout the country and products that are increasingly produced, planted or farmed locally by the restaurants themselves, there continues to be a strong trend and will on the part of Swiss gastronomy to set sustainability standards, while ensuring enjoyment at the highest level. To this end, 33 establishments in Switzerland were awarded the MICHELIN Green Star for their sustainable efforts, nine of which are new additions.”
