D'Chuchi

Northeastern Switzerland


Petite and cosy, with exposed brick, soft lighting and banquette seating, D'Chuchi has just a handful of tables – so book ahead. The chef prides himself on using regional, seasonal ingredients, and there's a succinct but well-edited menu. Dishes like pikeperch with wild-garlic risotto and black salsify or flat-iron steak with parsley root taste profoundly as they ought to.
