Whether you're a novice gardener or a true green thumb, VEG and the City is a plant lover's paradise. Pop in to grab seeds, seedlings and fresh-cut flowers.

Spring for the classic dim sum - the dumplings are very, very good - at this simple, refined Chinese spot in the heart of Zurich. In summer, we love to have dinner on the terrace as the sun sets.

Leave it to the Swiss to elevate a simple hamburger. The Bite is undoubtedly the very best burger in town. Though it's usually a dinner spot, they're also open for brunch at the weekend.
