The story
Chef Stefan Meier leads the kitchen at Gasthaus Rathauskeller in Zug, a historic building in the old town. His approach is uncompromising: only the freshest seasonal produce, sourced from local farms and fisheries, makes it onto the plate. Meier aims to coax the true, original flavours from vegetables, meat, and fish, letting their inherent aromas shine. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and value has been recognized with a Michelin Bib Gourmand—a mark of good cooking at accessible prices.
The menu reflects a deep respect for nature, with dishes that are exclusively his own creations. Local fish from Lake Zug, prepared fresh, is a highlight. The atmosphere in the historic guildhall adds to the experience, offering a setting that feels both timeless and intimate.
Rathauskeller’s cuisine blends Swiss specialties with French inspiration, resulting in a light yet refined haute cuisine. The menu changes with the seasons, offering a selection of classic and innovative dishes. Whether dining in the Zunftstube (guild room) or the bistro, guests can expect authentic, thoughtfully prepared food.
The wine cellar is a treasure trove. It features over 80 Bordeaux rarities, alongside carefully selected bottles from Italy, Spain, and beyond. From 3/8-litre bottles to 12-litre formats, the selection caters to all tastes. The restaurant also offers wines by the glass, ensuring every meal can be paired with the perfect accompaniment.
