10 Zunfthaus zur Waag, Switzerland
History comes alive at Zunfthaus zur Waag, a fine-dining restaurant situated in the heart of Zurich’s Münsterplatz, where the building’s sky-blue facade stands out like a crown jewel in the beautiful historical town square. But the true beauty of this distinguished guild house lies in its phenomenal history, which dates back to 1287, before the Guild Revolution took hold of the city during the 13th century. First-timers to this unique space will be made to feel right at home by the restaurant’s knowledgeable and affable host, Sepp Wimmer. Once inside, guests will be greeted by the tastefully decorated Grand Baroque-style interiors of the dining rooms, which come complete with vintage chandeliers and ancient emblems representing the influential guilds that have owned this property for centuries. On the menu, diners will be able to tantalise their taste buds by selecting from a wide variety of classic Swiss dishes presented with a modern twist, before washing it all down with copious amounts of delectable local wines that can only be found in this land of milk and honey. zunfthaus-zur-waag.ch
