Newcomers, losers and newcomers – these are the best restaurants in Central Switzerland
The 2021 edition of the “Gault-Millau” brings the city of Lucerne in particular to a significant increase in points. And the “Discovery of the Year in German-speaking Switzerland” was made by the test drivers in Rickenbach, near Schwyz.
Two strong newcomers to Lucerne: the discovery of the year from Schwyz
In the midst of a new phase of great uncertainty and many concerns in the hospitality sector, the new “Gault-Millau Switzerland 2021” arrives on the market. “No-show was not an option,” says Urs Heller, editor-in-chief of the Lucerne-based Schweizer Guide, “we want to support chefs and entice our readers to visit the restaurants.” In some parts of the country, bars are currently unavoidably closed and a nationwide closure is still possible, but the “Gault & Millau” can still arouse anticipation.
Gourmets from Lucerne can wait for it, as many things have already happened in the city: Michèle Meier from “Lucide” in the KKL scored 16 points and was named cook of the year. This award is not identical to the Chef of the Year (2021: Stefan Heilemann, “Widder”, Zurich, 18 points).
It is awarded only if, like last year, Tanja Grandits of the “Stucki” in Basel does not have a woman named Chef of the Year.
Works without the “Champions League”
With “Stiefels Hopfenkranz” (15 points) and Oscar de Matos’ temple of tapas “Maihöfli” (14), the city has two strong newcomers. In addition, the “Reussbad” remains even after the transfer of Raphael Tuor (now 16 points in the “Krone”, Blatten) to Ralf Thomas with 15 high-level points. 15 points also for the new “The Nucleus” with chef Daniele Tortomasi at Tropenhaus Wolhusen.
Chef Moritz Stiefel prepares truffle cauliflower in the Hopfenkranz restaurant.
What Lucerne still lacks is a top-notch bar with 18 or 19 points, but it’s still not necessary for Urs Heller: “I don’t think Lucerne want it at all, they look for bars with a nice character, it should be like home. “
“Young savages” as a promise
There is little movement in the rest of central Switzerland, 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”.

Noteworthy in Uri: the two restaurants Gurtneller Im Feld (close of business) and Gotthard are no longer in the guide. With the “Zwyssighaus” and “Fischli am See”, the village of Bauen with 186 inhabitants still has two “Gault Millau” restaurants.
It cannot be ruled out that there will be much more to be done on the scene 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 the famous chef Andreas Caminada has been clicked 1.6 million times.
