- How many? The Michelin Guide Switzerland 2026, published on 2 November in Andermatt, lists 133 starred restaurants: 5 with three stars, 22 with two and 106 with one.
- The decline: the 2025 edition had 145, so 12 fewer restaurants in a year.
- Three stars: Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl, Memories, Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville, Schloss Schauenstein and, new this year, The Japanese Restaurant.
- New entries: seven new one-star restaurants, no new two-star restaurant.
- Departures: 19 restaurants removed from the list, including Stucki, IGNIV in Bad Ragaz, La Brezza in Ascona and Skin’s, which held two stars.
Switzerland gains a restaurant at the very top and loses twelve overall. The 2026 selection tightens: five three-star restaurants, but 133 starred addresses against 145 a year earlier. Michelin unveiled its selection on 2 November 2026 at the Konzerthalle in Andermatt, in the canton of Uri.
145 restaurants in 2025, 133 in 2026
The count can be read in the two official lists. The 2025 edition brought together 4 three-star restaurants, 27 two-star and 114 one-star. In 2026, seven restaurants come in and nineteen go out. The balance: twelve fewer restaurants than in 2025. The two-star category falls from 27 to 22 restaurants, the one-star category from 114 to 106. The guide also lists 92 Bib Gourmand addresses, 11 of them new, announced before the ceremony.
Five restaurants at the top of the Swiss guide
Five restaurants now hold three stars in Switzerland, against four in 2025. Four addresses keep their rank: Memories in Bad Ragaz, with Sven Wassmer, Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl in Basel, Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville in Crissier, with Franck Giovannini, and Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau, with Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba. The fifth is The Japanese Restaurant in Andermatt, up from two to three stars, a promotion covered by La Revue des Hôtels.
Four restaurants lose their two stars
Michelin’s document on the 2026 removals is blunt. Skin’s in Lenzburg, Stucki in Basel, IGNIV by Andreas Caminada in Bad Ragaz and La Brezza in Ascona go from two stars to none. La Brezza in Arosa, by contrast, keeps its two stars, as does IGNIV in Andermatt and Zurich. Fifteen one-star restaurants also leave the list, among them Tsé Fung in Geneva, Le Trianon at Mont Pèlerin and elmira in Zurich.
Michelin gives no reasons in this document. A departure is not always a sanction: Steinhalle in Bern is among the removals, yet its chef, Markus Arnold, has moved and regains a star elsewhere in the city.
No promotion to two stars this year
All 22 restaurants in the category are confirmed, with no newcomer. No one-star restaurant moves up in 2026, against three new two-star restaurants in the 2025 edition. The list includes L’Atelier Robuchon in Geneva, roots in Basel, Maison Wenger in Le Noirmont, Gilles Varone in Savièse and Pic Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne.
Seven new stars, from Bern to Zermatt
MYLE in Bern combines a star with the Opening of the Year award. Markus Arnold serves his Cuisine Voyage in a former 1970s cinema, with a menu devoted to Mexico City until the end of November, then Athens from December. In Gonten, Bärenstobe earns its star with Michael Gollenz, who previously held a star in Croatia at Alfred Keller on the island of Lošinj. In Lucerne, Pietro Catalano, self-taught and with a past in car mechanics and classical trumpet, runs CAAA by Pietro Catalano.
The list is completed by Guglielmo Curcio’s Ristorante con enoteca Origini in Morbio Inferiore, Marten Harder’s Schlüssel in Oberwil, Dietmar Sawyere’s ad lib in Zermatt and Simon Müller’s rémy in Zurich.
Three individual awards for service and kitchen
Nicole Sawyere of ad lib in Zermatt receives the Service Award. Guglielmo Curcio, born in 1994, wins the Young Chef Award for Origini. Émeline Gigaud, head sommelier at Arakel in Geneva, takes the Sommelier Award for a list of around 1,500 references. Michelin highlights its selection of Burgundies and Champagnes from the house of Krug.
Zurich 14, Geneva 8: the map of the stars
Zurich is the best-endowed city, with 14 starred restaurants, ahead of Geneva and its 8 addresses, including F.P.Journe Le Restaurant, which keeps its star. Andermatt, a small municipality in Uri, has four starred restaurants across all three categories. The selection reaches beyond the border: Torkel in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, appears with one star.
