The Swiss First Lounge in Terminal E of Zurich Airport was named “World's Best Airline Lounge for Dining 2024” at the World Culinary Awards in Dubai. This award highlights the high quality of the gastronomic offerings that Swiss provides in cooperation with its partner Gategourmet.
The lounge offers its guests fresh à la carte dishes every day, with a particular focus on regional and seasonal products. In addition to Swiss classics such as Zürcher Geschnetzeltes and fondue, international dishes are also on offer. The menu is updated quarterly to ensure a diverse selection.
Swiss also places great importance on sustainable sourcing: meat and fish come from responsible sources, and the "nose-to-tail" approach also means that lesser-known cuts of meat are used. In addition to the culinary experience, the lounge itself offers amenities such as hotel rooms, a conference room and a large terrace with a view of the air traffic.
