Guggital Winter – Flavour, Warmth and Gentle Anticipation
As the air grows crisp and the Guggital settles into its calm winter rhythm, it becomes the perfect moment for warm, heartfelt enjoyment.
Our winter menu invites you to indulge in seasonal delights: creamy black salsify soup, homemade tagliolini with fresh truffle, aromatic pumpkin risotto, delicate mushroom creations or monkfish wrapped in bacon. And for those who love the classics, our beef fillet with port wine sauce is a true winter favourite.
There is something for everyone: Fine classics, Swiss and Zug specialties, beloved Guggital favourites, and winter dishes with fish, meat, vegetarian and vegan options.
And in true Guggital tradition, we serve homemade desserts, ice creams and sorbets.
A touch of festive anticipation
Alongside all these winter flavours, a gentle sense of Christmas begins to appear — subtle and warm, like a reminder of cosy gatherings, festive menus and the joy of shared moments with family, friends or colleagues.

We kindly ask for reservations
For us, hospitality begins long before the first course. It begins with thoughtful preparation for you.
By reserving in advance, you help us tailor your visit with care and attention. This allows us to prepare your table, focus entirely on you and your guests, and create relaxed, memorable moments.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to welcome you the way we love best: attentive, warm and well prepared.
We look forward to seeing you.
See you soon at wintertime in the Guggital! ❄️
Homemade Desserts with Tradition
The Guggital’s love of sweet creations began with senior chef Franz Elsener – a trained confectioner who laid the foundation for our exquisite dessert culture.
To this day, our dessert menu features traditional sweets based on his original recipes. Among the timeless classics: Cassata, Linzer Torte, and our famous Zug Iced Coffee.
The passion for dessert has always been passed down in the Guggital. A few years ago, Satha Satchithanantham created a new signature piece: the Zug Kirsch Ice Cream Cake. This dessert quickly became a guest favourite and has since joined the ranks of our beloved Guggital classics.
Our homemade ice cream also holds a special place in our tradition – it used to be stirred by hand in the old brine bath. Many of our ice cream recipes are still based on Franz Elsener’s originals and are refined each season with new, creative flavours.
Our dessert menu is regularly enriched with delightfully seasonal creations. At Guggital, there is always something new and tempting to discover for your sweet tooth.
We look forward to welcoming you soon – and to spoiling you with a homemade dessert, straight from the Guggital tradition.
