  Niederdorf

  We will start your culinary journey in Niederdorf, a lively neighbourhood of the Old Town, near the shore of Limmat river. Here, you will see where the locals go shopping, discover adorable artisanal boutiques full of various products, and of course enjoy some local cuisine! At lunch, we will start with a staple of Germanic cuisine: the iconic bretzel, a heart-shaped bread with a knot at its center, symbolizing union. You will try it plain or in a typical Zurich style - with some butter inside! At dinner, get inside one of these local boutiques and indulge in a sweet tasting of traditional honey-flavoured biscuits, called Tirggels, and discover their (festive) history! And after that, you can't miss a tasting of another Swiss product that doesn't need any presentation: Alpine cheese, in different shapes, flavours and textures!
