Guggital Summer
Delight beneath the chestnut trees
Summer at Guggital is an invitation to relax and indulge – whether on our terrace in the shade of old chestnut trees or in the elegant atmosphere of our restaurant. Our summer menu combines lightness with tradition, refinement with down-to-earth charm, and invites you to linger a little longer.
🍸 Our Summer Drink
Of course, we have once again prepared a refreshing summer aperitif for you this year – with or without alcohol.
Our Guggital Summer Mule combines Seshoai Ginger Beer from Bern, limoncello, French lemon syrup, fresh basil and dried lemon to create a wonderfully refreshing summer drink. Light, aromatic and just right for warm days.
☀️ Summer Starters and Light Dishes
Our summer menu begins with light and colourful creations: Vitello Tonnato, burrata pappardelle on a variation of tomatoes, an avocado and mango salad with watermelon sashimi, or a refreshing gazpacho.
For those looking for something more substantial, our summer grill platters and Poké Bowls are the perfect companions for a leisurely summer day.
🌿 Guggital Classics
Naturally, our popular classics remain an important part of the menu. The original veal Wiener schnitzel with homemade cranberry compote, Zurich-style sliced veal with buttery rösti and our beef tartare continue to be favourites with many of our guests, even in summer.
🐟 Fish Delights à la Guggital
Fish lovers will find several tempting options on our summer menu: perch fillets Zug style, traditionally served with almond butter, or freshly beer-battered with French fries and tartare sauce.
Our Poké Bowls with premium Lostallo salmon in sashimi quality are equally popular.
🌸 Light, Colourful and Modern
Our Poké Bowls bring the freshness of summer to the table. Avocado, mango, chickpeas, crisp vegetables and delicate dressings meet high-quality Swiss salmon or a creative vegan alternative with watermelon sashimi.
🍱 Guggital's Shokado Bento
A new addition to our menu this season is our Shokado Bento. Several carefully composed bowls invite you to discover and combine different flavours and textures.
A delightful experience for everyone who enjoys variety and loves trying something new.
🍨 A Sweet Finale
To finish, enjoy our homemade ice creams and sorbets, our popular Zug cherry ice cream cake, Torta della Nonna, Coupe Romanoff and other beloved dessert classics.
Particularly popular with guests who enjoy sampling different flavours are our dessert minis. Choose three miniature desserts as a trio – perfect if you cannot decide or simply wish to enjoy a little bit of everything.
And if there is only room for a small sweet treat after your meal, the dessert minis are also available individually.
Many of our ice creams and sorbets are made according to our own recipes, naturally without emulsifiers or artificial additives.
☕ Afternoons at Guggital
A visit is worthwhile between 1.30 pm and 5.30 pm as well.
Whether it is a slice of Zug cherry cake, an ice cream coupe on the terrace, an iced coffee, a Flammkuchen or a colourful sharing platter, our afternoon menu offers many small and large moments of enjoyment.
We also serve coffee and tea specialities, homemade ice cream shakes, as well as a selection of snacks and sandwiches.
A wonderful opportunity to take a short break, enjoy a relaxed chat, or simply spend a leisurely summer afternoon beneath the chestnut trees.
We look forward to making your summer a little more enjoyable – with variety, flavour and a touch of Guggital hospitality.
Looking Forward to Autumn?
Our autumn menu begins on 15 September 2026.
Look forward to seasonal autumn dishes, game specialities and colourful autumn desserts.

Homemade desserts from tradition
The love of sweet delicacies in the Guggital began with senior boss Franz Elsener, a trained confectioner, who laid the foundation for our exquisite dessert culture.
Even today, our dessert menu still features traditional sweets that go back to his original recipes. The classics include Cassata , Linzertorte and the famous Zug iced coffee .
The passion for desserts has always been passed down in the Guggital. This is how Satha Satchithanantham's ingenious creation came about a few years ago: the Zuger Kirsch ice cream cake . This dessert immediately became very popular and has now become an integral part of our dessert classics.
Homemade ice cream, which used to be stirred by hand in the saltwater bath, is also very important to us. Many of our ice cream recipes are still based on Franz Elsener's basic recipes and are supplemented with fine creations depending on the season.
Our dessert menu is regularly enriched with wonderfully creative, seasonal desserts. You will always find something new and tempting to delight your taste buds.
We look forward to pampering you soon in Guggital with a delicious homemade dessert.

Early summer dessert creations
Of course, we have a really nice cherry creation for you made from Black Forest sponge cake, cherries, Zuger Kirsch, vanilla ice cream and chocolate shavings.
We like to combine our fine elderflower sorbet with fine sparkling champagne.
And what would a dessert menu be without Swiss strawberries? We serve you a classic Coupe Romanoff
And so that everyone can enjoy it, it is also available in a vegan version.
We will soon be presenting our afternoon coupe menu with beautiful, summery creations made from homemade ice cream.
