The story
In the Swiss town of Baden, Paradies offers a menu that goes beyond the usual pizza parlor. The restaurant describes itself as providing "a large selection of…" and its list of pizzas, pide, pasta, salads, and snacks confirms a broad, family-friendly range. Yet the cooking here has earned a Michelin recommendation, a sign that the kitchen’s attention to detail and respect for ingredients set it apart.
The pizza menu is extensive, with classic choices like a simple Margherita—tomato, mozzarella, oregano—alongside more inventive creations. The namesake "Paradies" pizza combines chicken, peppers, and egg. A "Bauer" pizza layers spinach, bacon, and onions. There is a "Special" with veal, garlic, and herb butter, and an "Oriental" featuring lamb and beef with yoghurt sauce. The kitchen also turns out Turkish-style pide, available with minced beef, lamb, chicken, or a vegetarian version with feta, spinach, and egg.
The atmosphere is welcoming and casual, with outdoor seating available when weather permits. Lunch and dinner are served throughout the week, with takeaway and delivery options. The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible.
What makes Paradies noteworthy is how it balances a broad, crowd-pleasing menu with the kind of seasonal, ingredient-focused cooking that the Michelin guide recognizes. It is a place where a pizza can be both a familiar comfort and a carefully made dish. For those in Baden looking for a meal that is satisfying without pretension, Paradies delivers.
