The story
Overlooking the shores of Lake Zürich in the quiet suburb of Thalwil, Alex brings the flavours of the Mediterranean to the canton of Zürich. The restaurant’s setting is understated and welcoming: a bright, modern space with a terrace for warm-weather dining, ample parking, and full wheelchair access.
The kitchen focuses on Mediterranean cuisine, drawing on the traditions of southern Europe. Dishes are prepared with a respect for seasonality and simplicity, letting the ingredients speak. The wine list follows the same philosophy, with a curated selection from Mediterranean regions.
Alex was recognised by the Michelin Guide with a Recommended award in 2026, a testament to the consistency and care that define the experience here. Whether you stop by for a relaxed lunch or a quiet dinner, the service is attentive and the atmosphere calm – a place to savour the moment without pretense.
