Best kosher restaurants in Switzerland

Looking for great food that’s in line with your religious requirements? In Zurich and Geneva, you’ll find some great places serving delicious kosher food. Take the work out of finding a suitable restaurant with our suggestions for kosher food available in these multicultural cities. MyPremiumEurope Switzerland might be a small country, but the international community here is considerable and this is reflected in the availability of restaurants and shops catering for those with special dietary needs. The largest Jewish populations in Switzerland live in Zurich and Geneva, so it’s here that you will find it easiest to eat out. You should be aware that the practices required to declare meat kosher are outlawed in Switzerland, and therefore meat has to be imported from neighbouring countries, particularly France where the process is legal. Our suggestions are a good place to start if you’re coming to Switzerland, but we recommend that you always get in touch with a restaurant or hotel before visiting to make sure that it meets your requirements, letting you relax completely on holiday and make the most of your time in these great cities.
