Special Swiss biscuits: Bäckerei Vohdin
If any shop in Zurich’s old town can be described as an institution, then it’s the Vohdin bakery. The ovens have been going at Oberdorfstrasse 12 since 1626 (!). Elvira and Urs Vohdin sell perhaps the most delicate amaretti in Switzerland – and in only 4.3 square metres of shop space.

Soups and vitamin juices: Saftlade
David Kaldeck took over Saftlade, Switzerland’s oldest juice bar, in 2015 and immediately gave it a fresh coat of paint. David believes in sustainability and fairly produced products. But that doesn’t mean he avoids meat altogether.
