Newcomers, losers and newcomers: these are the best restaurants in central Switzerland
The 2021 edition of the “Gault-Millau” brings to the city of Lucerne, in particular, a significant increase in points. And the “Discovery of the year in German-speaking Switzerland” was made by the testers in Rickenbach, near Schwyz.
Two strong newcomers to Lucerne: Schwyz’s discovery of the year
In the midst of a new phase of great uncertainty and many concerns in the hotel industry, the new “Gault-Millau Switzerland 2021” is coming to market. “Not showing up was not an option,” says Urs Heller, editor-in-chief of the Lucerne-based Schweizer Guide, “we want to support chefs and attract our readers to visit restaurants.” In some parts of the country, bars are currently inevitably closed and a nationwide closure is still possible, but “Gault & Millau” can, in any event, spark anticipation.
Lucerne gourmets can look forward to it, as a lot has happened in the city before: Michèle Meier from “Lucide” at the KKL received 16 points and was named Cook of the Year. This award is not identical to Chef of the Year (2021: Stefan Heilemann, “Widder”, Zurich, 18 points, here in the video :).
Awarded only if, like last year, Tanja Grandits from “Stucki” in Basel does not have a woman named Chef of the Year.
It works without the “Champions League”
With “Stiefels Hopfenkranz” (15 points) and the “Maihöfli tapas temple by Oscar de Matos (14), the city has two strong newcomers, and the“ Reussbad ”remains even after the change of Raphael Tuor (now 16 points in the “Krone”, Blatten) to Ralf Thomas with 15 points at a high level. There are also 15 spots for the new “The Nucleus” with head chef Daniele Tortomasi at Tropenhaus Wolhusen.
Chef Moritz Stiefel prepares truffle cauliflower at the Hopfenkranz restaurant.
What Lucerne still lacks is a top restaurant with 18 or 19 points, but that’s not necessary for Urs Heller anyway: “I don’t think the people of Lucerne want that at all, they are looking for bars with a character to feel good, they should be like home. “
“Young savages” as promise
In the rest of central Switzerland there is not much movement, but another highlight: The “Magdalena” in Rickenbach SZ is the “Discovery of the year in German-speaking Switzerland”. Urs Heller is full of praise for the trio of “young and wild” Dominik and Adriana Hartmann and Marco Appert: “A promise for the future.”

Featured in Uri: The two restaurants Gurtneller Im Feld (business closure) and Gotthard are no longer in the guide, with the “Zwyssighaus” and “Fischli am See” the village of Bauen with its 186 inhabitants still has two restaurants ” Gault Millau “.
It cannot be ruled out that there is much more to do on stage in the coming months, sadly not just for the better because of the crown. For the latest news, Heller refers you to the increasingly important online channel www.gaultmillau.ch A gratin recipe by celebrity chef Andreas Caminada was clicked 1.6 million times.
