Afternoon
Baur’s, at the Baur au Lac hotel, is a brasserie-style restaurant with a beautiful bar section. The dining menu includes French brasserie classics — think beef filet and tartare — and heavy but delicious desserts. As it’s annexed to a five-star hotel, service here is phenomenal.
For a quick bite, try the lakeside Pump Station. Run by a local character called Baba, who even has his own Facebook fan page, the Alpine-grill-style menu includes potato salad, kebab and grilled sausage. It’s worth a visit just for the amazing mountain views and Baba’s jokes.
