Traditional Swiss cooking consists of dairy produce and meat. Most meals will include either cheese, milk, cream and butter or all of the above. Rostis are solid and filling and consist of grated fried potato with cheese and a variety of toppings. Like the French, the Swiss enjoy a large lunch and many restaurants will offer a 3-course fixed-price menu from around CHF20 to CHF50.
Warning to vegetarians: The Swiss don’t seem to count certain things as meat, so check your ‘vegetarian’ dish or soup for bits of bacon, ham or salami.
