Switzerland is famous for more than just chocolate and cheese — though both are world-class! Be sure to try fondue (melted cheese with bread), raclette (melted cheese served over potatoes and pickles), and rösti, a crispy potato dish often served with eggs or smoked meat. The country also has a proud chocolate-making tradition, with visitor-friendly factories like Maison Cailler and the Lindt Home of Chocolate near Zurich. In cities like Zurich and Geneva, you’ll also find modern restaurants blending alpine flavors with international cuisine.
