The story behind the project

We are Susan and Yuan, Chinese immigrants living in Switzerland. As passionate foodies, we have a mission: to find the most authentic Chinese food in our new home. Over the years, we have not only explored Switzerland’s diverse culinary landscape and familiarised ourselves with dishes such as cordon bleu and raclette, but also discovered the best Chinese restaurants across the country. 

I am René, a Swiss with a deep passion for Chinese food and culture. I love discovering new and unusual dishes that are often foreign to the Swiss palate. Having travelled to China, I felt the desire to build a bridge between Switzerland and China on my return. 

Our reputation as culinary experts quickly spread among friends, and many - including colleagues and friends - often asked for our recommendations on where to enjoy the most authentic Chinese cuisine in cities such as Lucerne, Zurich and Zug. So why not summarise our passion and expertise in a guide? 

That’s how the China Food Guide was born - a carefully curated collection of the best Chinese food experiences in Switzerland, bridging cultures and sharing our love of authentic flavours with a wider audience.
