The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Wöschi is located directly at Wollishofen harbour and boasts a magnificent view of the Zürisee, as the locals call Lake Zurich. You may know head chef David Klocksin from 20/20 by Mövenpick, where he delivered Michelin-starred cuisine. Here, he serves up dishes that are a little lower-key, but still punchy, with an emphasis on vegetables. The three- to five-course surprise menu reflects this with pleasingly pared-down yet full-bodied creations such as baked cauliflower with curry and peanut. However, the more conventional options, such as the Valais pike-perch or Zurich beef, are just as delectable. This is a truly stylish restaurant, where charming and attentive service comes courtesy of Stephanie Ospelt and team. Gorgeous terrace overlooking the lake.
