All the three star restaurants have retained their distinctions this year, they are Schauenstein in Fürstenau, Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl in Basel and Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville in Crissier.

The Michelin Guide Switzerland 2017 marks an all-time record in terms of the number of restaurants awarded a Bib Gourmand, with 139 restaurants in total - 20 more than last year. This is an increase of 60% in five years (as against 87 in 2012). This award recommends restaurants that offer high quality meals at reasonable prices (starter, main course and dessert for a maximum of 70 Swiss francs).

The MICHELIN Guide Switzerland 2017 is available from October 7.
