Swiss Guest Award 2026: Real reviews from real guests as an award

Which restaurants manage to delight their guests not just once, but consistently? The Swiss Guest Award 2026 provides the answer – based exclusively on verified reviews from guests who booked their visit via foratable.

A total of 745 restaurants in German-speaking Switzerland meet the high standards this year and are being recognized. This keeps the award at a very high level – and underscores its role as a reliable benchmark for genuine guest satisfaction.

Where to find the most top-rated restaurants

A look at the regions reveals clear hotspots:
Zurich leads with 226 award-winning restaurants, followed by Aargau (97), Bern (81), Lucerne (75), and Grisons (50).

The canton of Uri is also notable: 4 out of 5 award-winning establishments made it into the top 50 – an exceptionally high proportion.

Why these ratings matter

The key difference compared to traditional review platforms: The Swiss Guest Award only counts feedback from guests who were actually on-site.

This makes the award particularly valuable – as honest feedback for restaurants and as a reliable guide for guests.
