Rosi

Zurich, Switzerland

While lederhosen would most likely be welcome in this friendly, laid-back restaurant in Zurich’s creative Kreis 4 quarter, the Bavarian fare on the menu has a distinctly contemporary vibe, with dishes such as sausage salad, obatzda (a cheese-based delicacy) and lobster schnitzel all having been given a modern update. Reinterpreting the traditional dishes he grew up with is a dream made real for Allgau-born chef Markus Stöckle, who cut his teeth working at Heston Blumenthal's three-Michelin-starred Fat Duck in Bray for five years. It was perhaps there that he honed his playful streak, evident today in menu items such as a “coffee-and-cake” starter, in which the fabulous, eight-layer torte is, in fact, savoury, and the “espresso” turns out to be a smoked mushroom consommé. His weekend Bavarian-style brunch is worth setting the alarm for.
