From day one, we were wowed by the quality and tastiness of the food there.  From the salads to the desserts and everything in between, they all carried amazing flavors that made the trip that much more enjoyable.  Here is just a taste:

At our hotel, the french restaurant, “Brasserie Geroldswil”, also provided us with free breakfast every morning.  Being vegetarians, we chose from a variety of fresh breads, cheeses, crackers, eggs, yogurt, cereal, and fruit salad. We ate there a couple times for lunch/dinner too.

Baguette with herb-seasoned butter

Tomato & mozzarella salad

Crispy sandwich

Pasta noodles with vegetables

Vegetarian risotto

Kids’ meal – pasta with marinara sauce

Real french onion soup!

We ate at a pizzaria within walking distance of the hotel called “Pizzaplausch”.

Lamb’s lettuce salad

Minestrone soup

Vegetable pizza

Stracciatella ice cream

There was a quaint, but elegant bakery down the street where we got some goodies.

Local pastries

In Italy, we went to a gelateria for some gelato and made a quick stop for some focaccia. 

The night before we left, we had dinner here with friends.

Italian bread

Spaghetti with pesto

Gnocchi with tomato sauce

Blood orange ice cream

We tried the famous seasonal dessert – “vermicelli” – which is made with chestnuts.  
 
We often shopped at “The Coop” which was a common grocery store there.  We tried some local snacks and fruit that didn’t need to be refrigerated.

Switzerland is known for their chocolate and cheese, which is quite impressive, but the food was great too.  There, we had italian, french, singaporean, adventist, and even cafeteria food and we were never let down.  Fresh, high quality ingredients, and talented, veggie-friendly chefs made for an unforgettable culinary experience.
