Switzerland Restaurants

My wife and I will be spending 3 weeks in France and Switzerland this July.
For each of the following places: Colmar, Berne, Grindelwald, Luzerne, St.
Moritz, and Zermatt we're looking for 2 recommendations: 1) the best place
where the locals eat, and 2) the best upscale place to eat.

Not knowing exactly what you mean by "upscale", I recommend:

In Luzern/Lucerne: BamBou. It's fabulous! It's at The Hotel. If you can,
you should also stay at The Hotel.

For St Moritz I like the Misani Hotel.

Whatever you want to call " best upscale" restaurant: best imho
is to use Michelin red guide for France and Switzerland or check
at www.viamichelin.com. Michelin green guides (Alsace-Lorraine
and Switzerland) have mainly general tourist information with some
restaurant recommendations.

Other restaurant guides are Gault-Millau and Guide-Bleu

The real "top" restaurants in Switzerland are not at [well known]
tourist places and require usually reservation weeks ahead.

Have a great trip

Just a warning: I had a look yesterday at Michelin red guide
Switzerland [2005] - comments on restaurants and hotels are in
3 languages, but in german, french OR italian depending on the
regional language. Introduction is in english too, but nothing
more. So if language is a concern, better use the green guide or
online search

And a correction: there is one 2-star restauring in St.Moritz
(St-Moritz/Champf=E8r to be more precise)

Other restaurant guides are Gault-Millau and Guide-Bleu

Hi

In Luzerne I would recommend the "Korea Town". One of the best asian
restaurants I've been to and I've been to quite a few.
