Nestled in the picturesque city of Bern, Restaurant Rosengarten offers a delightful dining experience within a city park. With its Mediterranean cuisine and an extensive wine selection, this hidden gem provides a laid-back atmosphere and a terrace with stunning panoramic views. The restaurant is celebrated for its Swiss culinary delights and international dishes, catering to all palates including vegetarian options.
We had the Angus Beef steak and a salad. The steak was very juicy and the seasoning is perfect. The salad and homemade balsamic vinega was also very fresh. The service was also very good. All of the staffs were very nice and very kind. We were very happy to have our lunch here. Definitely recommend.

Very nice park at the top of Bern city, offering a place to rest and fantastic view. The restaurant is ideal to take a break from a walking tour, having all the city in "the plate". Very nice place for panoramic photos of the city and the river. A must visit

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC. We dined at the patio and unfortunately were invaded by dozens of flies as soon as our food was received. We prompted to move everything inside. Service is mediocre.

Great place and truly scenery. Quality service and quality food. Thanks to the Chef and team. I’ll repeat the visit whenever back to Bern. If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

Swiss restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Bern, Kornhauskeller Restaurant & Bar is a stunning vaulted space that offers a relaxed atmosphere and serves an array of Mediterranean, Swiss, and Bernese specialties. This renowned establishment boasts an impressive interior with a central nave and two side aisles reminiscent of church architecture, exuding a sense of grandeur.
We loved the atmosphere of this place, astonishing vaulting ceilings and giant barrel at the end. The waiter was absolutely delighted and professional. The dishes were delicious and tasty, just the risotto was undercooked and plain so I didn’t finish it. Otherwise this is a great restaurant for a meal and enjoy the space and decoration.

Beautiful place and historical as well. We really enjoy our food. I have to say the rainbow trout I had was delicious. Our server was amazing and we feel very welcoming even though we didn't have a reservation. Definitely read the first page on the menu. It's worth having a little bit of background in that amazing place.

10/10 I had a wonderful evening at Kornhauskeller in Bern. The place is so beautiful—like a historic palace with high ceilings and amazing design. It feels very special the moment you enter. The food was excellent—delicious and very well presented. Every dish had great taste and was made with care. everything was just perfect. But what made this evening even better was the great service. I want to say a special thank you to Mr. Wael 🇪🇬, who was so kind and helpful. He explained the menu with patience, gave good suggestions, and made us feel very welcome. He really made our night unforgettable. Kornhauskeller is not just a restaurant—it is a full experience with great food, atmosphere, and amazing service. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern. I will definitely come back again! Thank you for a beautiful evening! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, this place blew me away! Kornhauskeller is absolutely gorgeous — feels like eating in a Baroque cathedral with huge arches and painted ceilings. The food was delicious, real Swiss comfort food (loved the rösti and veal). After dinner we went upstairs to the bar — super stylish and cozy, with an amazing choice of cocktails, gin, and whisky. The staff were friendly and everything just felt easy and welcoming. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Bern.

This is a truly great restaurant to visit when you're in Bern! It's a bit pricey (just as everything in Switzerland, so I guess it's no surprise) but the food was phenomenal and the service even better. The lobster bisque was phenomenal and the steak was made to the right temperature and prepared very well. Overall we had a great experience for a dinner service and I strongly recommend trying this place out!

During our stay at the hotel, we made two reservations at the restaurant. We were warmly welcomed. The staff knew we had come with dogs and were very surprised we didn't bring them along – without any mention, we were given a table with the most space so that our four-legged friends would be comfortable. I greatly appreciated this. We were served by Ms. Justyna. Very helpful and smiling. She was excellent at guiding us through the dishes. For the appetizer, we ordered tartare, which she prepared at our table, presenting many possible additions beforehand. One of the best I've ever had. The sommelier at this restaurant is a great asset. We are not amazing wine connoisseurs, but we mentioned what we like and what we don't. He selected an excellent wine for us that matched our tastes perfectly. He told interesting stories about the wineries they came from. We felt very well taken care of by the staff. On our second visit, we brought our dogs with us. They received bowls of water and cans of treats. Again, we were given a very spacious area. Unfortunately, the next day we had a 10-hour drive ahead of us, so the sommelier recommended a lighter, this time white wine for such an "occasion." Once again, we returned to our room satisfied with the dinner.

Excellent Service from Elena We were truly impressed by the level of service in this restaurant, especially thanks to our waitress, Elena. She knows the menu perfectly and can clearly explain every dish and its ingredients. Elena is also very familiar with the extensive wine list and gives great recommendations. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our dining experience wonderful. Her professionalism and warm attitude made our evening really special. A true example of outstanding service in Switzerland-Bern!

We celebrated the birthday of my husband at Essort. We took the 4 course menu plus wine. Everything was very delicious. Presentation was superb, but in my opinion, portions were quite modest. Prices are high but the experience is worth it. Regarding the service, it was outstanding, both owners were quite charming, cooks also very friendly and professionals coming to the table to present the dishes. Overall a great culinary experience in Bern

Excellent place for a high end meal. The courses can be combined to your preferences, with good vegetarian choices too. If you are vegan call ahead and they will accommodate you with a special menu. They have a lovely outside terasse with lots of greenery. Super friendly service. Not cheap of course.

It’s a very interesting restaurant with a great set of people running it. The couple could not have been nicer and more sincere. The food was top-notch and the service was excellent. I wish the room was more cozy and had some seasonal elements, but that is a small criticism.
Dale E — Google review
The idea of mixing food cultures and tastes and to encourage the customers to try new dishes is always welcome . Unfortunately in this case is poorly executed and also at a really high price. The atmosphere is realxed but the environment is a patchwork. The food was a huge disappointment : the pastinaca soup was incredibly salty, the paneer was comparable to something I could cook at home, the sashimi in yuzu Bouillon was good, the risotto and sauce that came with the chicken was so salty that I couldn't eat it, the aubergine piccata was almost raw ( Raw aubergines really taste bad), the chees was good ;) . Wine and drinks were nicly choosen. Service was friendly . Prices not proportioned to the offer (200 CHF x 2 person 3 small entries each). I am not sure to be brave enough to give it another chance .

Restaurant Steinhalle

Mentioned on 
+1 other list 
$$$$expensive
Fine dining restaurant
Restaurant Steinhalle, led by top chef Markus Arnold, is located near the Museum of History in Bern. With 17 Gault-Millau points and a Michelin star, Arnold is a rising star in the Bernese culinary scene. The restaurant offers a lunch menu featuring ramen soups, bowls, and burgers, while in the evening it provides seasonal casual dining menus. The atmosphere is described as familiar and the food as creatively prepared with maximum creativity.
Fine-diner by night, casual al fresco café by day – this restaurant in the grounds of Bern’s History Museum has something for everyone. So far I’ve only visited for a drink in the café – but the setting, quality and service inspires me to come back for more next time. Chef Markus Arnold is regarded as one of Switzerland’s most innovative chefs and his dinner menu warrants a Michelin star (with prices to match). But during the day you can rock up, grab a seat in the garden and enjoy refreshments like house-made iced matcha tea, ramen, rice bowls and salads all made with the same quality produce and attention to detail at a fraction of the price.

We visited the history museum in Bern and started to get hungry so we popped next door for lunch. This restaurant is quite nice and the service is great. They are helpful and attentive. The lunch menu has classic favourites of modern society. I ordered the burger with a salad and my husband got the ramen. The salad was wow! I haven’t had a salad that good in a long time! I thoroughly enjoyed it. When the burger came I was also pleasantly surprised. Meat was cooked perfectly to medium as asked. The burger was juicy and easy to cut in half. A little squeeze bottle of sauce was also provided so you could add more sauce to the burger. I am unable to comment on the ramen as I did not eat it. The only thing that would be helpful is to have a little allergen icon. My husband has a peanut allergy and when the salad came it seemed to have peanuts on it, he didn’t have any but I also try to avoid peanuts to be extra cautious. At lunch time, it seems like you can walk in without a reservation. However, I am unsure about dinner as I understand it becomes a fine dining restaurant. I would make a reservation if going to dinner just to be safe. A great spot and highly recommend!

We visited the museum in Bern and saw this restaurant on our way out. We sat in the nice seating area outside with a view of the grassy area - it was great weather so it was overall a great vibe. We ordered the ramen and the salad. The salad was really good and it came with sourdough as well. The ramen was very salty but otherwise good ramen texture - however beware as they ask if you want kimchi as well which we found out afterwards it was an extra 5CHF (it’s actually stated on the menu but there wasn’t an english version provided so we were confused haha)

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Steinhalle in the beautiful historic museum of Bern. We had the full gastronomic dinner and I could only stay until main course due to early train back home. That being said, most items were really delicious and above what gastronomic experience you would expect wandering on this side of the Sarine river. 😆

We visited from the USA and enjoyed the veggie-forward menu currently in rotation. The food was quite tasty and the sauces with the dishes were the stars of the show. The sauces were so tasty I’ve questioned whether or not I deserved something so delicious. The presentation of the dishes was lovely and a lot of care went into them. I think the serving sizes were maybe 20% too small. The small size, even for an upscale restaurant, paired with the somewhat unengaging atmosphere made me rate this 4 stars instead of 5. For context, one course was 3 partial asparagus. Definitely worth a visit and piqued my interested in trying other up scale restaurants in the city
Branden B — Google review
High end restaurant with excellent periodically changing multi-course menu, that will be adjusted to your specific dietary needs. Very attentive and friendly service. Great seating under shady trees, with restaurant integrated into beautiful historic building. Pricey as you would expect from this type of restaurant. We found the service to be a bit pushy for additional menu options as well as drinks, you just have to say no multiple times.
Beat S — Google review
One sentence review: Tasty, but (supposedly) elitist. Longer review of the prepaid Japanese tasting menu. We were greeted by a polite server and shown to a table outside where we had an appetiser and a drink (paid for separately). We weren't offered a napkin even though all appetisers were creamy or had liquids in them. Afterwards we proceeded inside for the main meal. The space inside is pretty tight, the decor minimal and the lighting is pretty dim, but it still doesn't feel particularly cosy (or chic). Now the food. The great thing about it is that there aren't any *dishes* on the menu. According to the chef (who greeted everyone in person) all the items are inspired by traditional Japanese tastes and ingredients and are invented by the chef himself, so you can't just find them in a Japanese cook book. Now the size of each portion is really really small. Half the elements of every dish are a (tea-) spoonful big. If you came to the restaurant... hungry, you'll likely only be less hungry after a five-course meal. Another deal-breaker for me is the price. This place is titanically overpriced. The amount we paid (meal = 159, sparkling wine = 21, red wine = 29) could buy you two (or almost two) similar dinners anywhere in the city. Yes, the restaurant was full, and there are enough people who don't care about prices in Bern, but a family with regular jobs would struggle to afford dining in a place like this and therefore they'd miss out on trying out a new experimental cuisine. Mind you that we spent three hours in Steinhalle and we only saw one person of colour in the whole establishment, and that was one of the waiters. That to me is a good indicator of how elitist a place might be. The service. There's no one designated waiter that'll serve you your food throughout the evening and that's probably a good thing -- less waiting. Every waiter knows how to present each dish, but the way they say it sounds like a recital. They just say their text and leave promptly. Every time they clear the table the servers ask how you've liked the previous dish, but it does come off slightly superficial, like they're programmed to ask certain things at certain times. That is the least of my concerns though, I'd much rather know why you didn't foresee a hot towel at a Japanese style dinner or quiet Japanese music in the background or, quite frankly, better value for money. Yeah, it's a business and it's legal, but how cool is it?
Marcel M — Google review
In addition to being a well-known and expensive place to have a multiple-course dinner, the Steinhalle is a low-key, lovely, and delicious spot for an inexpensive lunch. Sitting outside under the enormous trees in the park in front of Bern's History Museum, I had an excellent bowl of vegetarian ramen soup. I recommend the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The menu has only a few choices, but all are vegetarian or meat.

We went there for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. I had the lunch set. First, there came a vegetable soup, which was like a vegetable soup is. It was followed by a small fresh salad, which contained different kind of salad leaves and a French dressing. Then came the main dish: Suckling pig with a jus, Risotto and cucumber vegetable. This was an explosion of tastes. The suckling pig had a nice crust, which gave the dish its roasted aroma. The meat contained also fat, which contributed to the great taste. And the jus was a masterpiece! As dessert, I had an Affogato - espresso with vanilla ice. The service was friendly and was flexible when I arrived a little late. Then there's the incredible view. We really enjoyed our visit to the Schwellenmätteli Bern.
Dani A — Google review
The location and atmosphere is amazing. The food is hit or miss. Very much overpriced for rather small portions. Moules Frites were great. Cordon bleu was good too. Lamb was very fatty and not up to the expected quality standards for the high price of it (and it is not even swiss lamb). The rice that came with it was bland and boring and way too much of it. I kind of don't know what they tried to do there. A risotto would have been much better. But this was bland rice with some tomato paste. Waiters were all very busy and basically did not pay us any attention unless we waved at them.

I visited Restaurant Terrasse Schwellenmätteli for coffee, and the experience was truly memorable, largely due to its stunning location right above the Aare River. The terrace offers breathtaking views of Bern’s Old Town, with the Parliament Building and Minster in sight—perfect for a special evening out. The ambiance is unique, with the modern pavilion design and the sound of rushing water creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. It felt like dining on an island! Service was generally attentive and friendly—our server was kind and accommodating with dietary requests. Overall, Schwellenmätteli’s terrace is a must-visit for anyone in Bern looking for great food paired with an unforgettable view. Just book ahead, especially for the terrace, and come ready to soak in the scenery.

The burger was just not worth the price. CHF 33 for a dry bun, pickled vegetables and a little bit of sauce on the meat. Fries tasted with an old oil. You'd get a better burger and fries in McDonald's even though McDonald's should not be set as a standard here.

The food is simply ordinary. As good (or as bad) as what you get from the frozen section of Aldi. However, the price is as if it were from a real chef. The service is ok, it is hard to feel welcome in this restaurant. Paid €48.70 for the almost empty plate you see in the photo. The atmosphere, if you ignore the service, is nice thanks to the river, that is absolutely beautiful.

A very nice lunch meal in a traditional Swiss restaurant that is over a century old. The Oxtail and Viennese Schnitzel were both very tender and tasty. The menu and old decor were both very interesting. The service was too professional. Not friendly, not warm, not totally cold either, just professional if you get what I mean and eating out in Switzerland is generally awfully expensive and here is no different. Overall, this place is worth a try.

Doesn't meet expectations. Food is average service is not good and price are high. The pumpkin soup had pesto inside which hiddens all other flavours and did not taste freshly made.

I wish I had read the past reviews more carefully. We traveled to Switzerland from Japan, and most other shops and restaurants warmly supported us, even though we aren’t fluent in English. However, this place was different. They clearly discriminated against us as Asians. They treated us with a very condescending attitude because of our language difficulties. It was deeply, deeply upsetting. I can’t believe there are still people who behave in such an immature way. We also had to wait for over an hour after ordering, and by then we had lost our appetite. I truly wish we could get back the happy time this experience stole from us.

I agree with another reviewer that the service staff either do not care about their customers or they are prejudiced against other races. After we ordered our food, the server snickered at us. Then when we asked for the bill, we had to ask for 3 times and they still have not brought us the bill yet even though we were in a hurry to catch the train. After asking for the bill, we turn around and see the waiters chatting with each other instead of getting us the bill. Would not recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Delicious food and friendly service. It has a nice terrace for summer days but tends to get noisy.

Restaurant Harmonie

$$$$expensive
Swiss restaurant
Restaurant Harmonie is a long-standing, family-run establishment in the heart of Bern, offering comforting Swiss and European dishes. The menu features classic Swiss items like Gruyere and moitie-moitie, as well as indulgent options with truffles and champagne. Guests can enjoy pots of hot cheese accompanied by an abundance of bread and Vaudois white wine. The warm and wood-paneled ambiance adds to the traditional dining experience that has been preserved for over a century.
Very hot inside the restaurant, so I ate outside. I ordered Fondue for 2, though just me. I didn't know you could get Fondue for 1 person. It was good. Nice staff.

Everybody has a bad day. Probably the waitress with the long black open hair had it too. I just wanted to drink quick coffee and went inside to ask if i can get coffee while i was waiting for a friend . The way she talked to me, her voice tone was not that polite. But its okay.

We wanted to celebrate our last day in Switzerland with a traditional speciality and our guide recommended this restaurant. We were not disappointed, lovely decor, pleasant service, delicious wine and most incredible cheese fondue really made our day. Expensive, for CHF 37 per person, our 3 person pot was large and it came with side dishes of pears, pickles, boiled potatoes, marinaded onion and nice crusty bread. We even got to scrape off and taste the Old Mother. Definitely worth the visit.

Full of locals enjoying a quick lunch of traditional fare, Harmonie is always my first stop when visiting the altstadt of Bern. It might be for a classic fondue with a mâche salad (nüsslisalat in Swiss German) or excellent rösti with speck and spiegelei (fried egg). The Bernese have been eating in this casual wood-panelled dining room for over 100 years and I was delighted to see on my last visit that everything is still the same since the recent change of ownership. Harmonie is the perfect lunch spot when site seeing in Bern as it has all the Swiss classics, including some very calorie-laden desserts. The daily menu is good value, service is efficient (if occasionally rushed during 'peak hour'), and the wine list is great too.

Made to Feel Completely Unwelcome What a frustrating experience. As a family traveling with a child and an elderly parent, we called ahead to ensure we could be seated for an early dinner. Upon arriving, we were immediately turned away. It was only after I challenged the waitress by saying I had just called that she corrected herself, inventing an excuse about a very long wait time. It felt less like a genuine problem and more like she simply didn't want to serve us. It's a shame, because the place looked charming. We left and went elsewhere. Two stars for the poor, unwelcoming service.

The rosti was amazing. But our onion soup was too salty…

Chic Swiss restaurant in the heart of Bern.. we sat outdoors and the atmosphere was lively but not noisy nor overwhelming but pleasant .. our server was friendly and smiley .. service was at a good tempo, not too hurried.. we enjoyed the fondue and thought it was a very nice Swiss treat with a glass of wine … as with most places in Switzerland, prices are very high at over £100 ! Yet, we expected this and just looked the other way !

Beautiful place, fantastic service and food. The boss, however, was unfriendly and did not let us give a tip with the credit card. Very bad for the team as they deserved a tip.

One of our absolute favorite restaurants. Excellent food with no fuzz in a wonderful atmosphere.

When a place like this has such amazing reviews you almost always disregard the more negative ones. Unfortunately the negative reviews were right about this place. We were greeted at the door by a woman with a look of disdain but figured it was maybe because we were huddled at the door. The woman seemed like an owner/manager disregarded us entirely from that point until it came time to slap the check down without so much as a glance. We did have a nice British man wait on us to take our order but never saw him agatafter that. Bad service we can deal with but lackluster food at a premium price we cannot. I got the French onion soup, absolutely flavorless, as well as the pork main entree with green beans and gnocchi. The only thing that wasn't flavorless from the entree were the green beans. My sister got the veal entree which tasted more like cod. I actually told my sister I thought it tasted the way it looked, dull and grey. The 2 stars are for the escargot which were actually delicious once you could fish them out of their shells.

I wanted to start the evening with some oysters, after 15 min I got told that they were sold out. Which was okay, but it seemed to me that their attempt is to be really professional, so in the end it was a little bit disappointing. Afterwards I had the white asparagus with hollandaise. It was okay, I prefer my hollandaise to be more rich & thick, this one was airy & not really sticking to the asparagus which was poorly peeled. I was sitting outside & all seemed very hectic, waiting time was long, but still the service felt very heartly. The sauce for the entrecote was extraordinary! The Cremeschnitte was quite solid. I‘d try to sit inside next time with reservation. It‘s good but don‘t expect too much from the food.

Very nice dinner date at Zimmermania. Atmosphere is nice, staff was very pleasant and thoughtful. We had the bone marrow as a starter and the saucisson vaudois + entrecôte as mains. We were not disappointed! Very tasty food. The double chocolate mousse au chocolat for dessert was heavenly. We can only recommend for a nice French dinner in a lovely street in Bern.

EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg

International airport
Airport
EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is an international airport that has been in operation since 1946, serving the border region of France, Germany, and Switzerland. It is a decently sized airport offering flights to various destinations within the region and beyond. The airport provides paid parking options for short trips that can be arranged online, with both roofed and open parking available. Inside the airport, there are dining options albeit at higher costs for average quality food.
EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg is very practical because it serves three countries at once, and it is easy to reach by bus or shuttle from Basel city. The terminal is modern, clean, and not too big, which makes moving around much easier compared to larger airports. Check-in and security are usually efficient, but at peak hours there can be long lines. The staff work quickly and are organized, so the waiting time is reasonable. Signs are clear in multiple languages, which makes navigation simple for international travelers. The airport has several cafés, restaurants, and duty-free shops. Prices are on the higher side, but the selection is good, especially for last-minute gifts and local products. Seating areas are comfortable, and there are plenty of charging points for devices. Another advantage is the clear separation between the French and Swiss sectors, which can be unusual but very convenient depending on your destination. Public transport connections are reliable, and it only takes about 20 minutes by bus to reach Basel city center. Overall, EuroAirport is well-organized, clean, and efficient. It is not the biggest airport, but it is easy to use and serves its purpose very well for short European trips and connections.

The airport is conveniently accessible by bus, taxi, and car. I took the bus 50, which takes you directly to the main entrance in about 10-15 minutes. This airport is a great option for people living in Basel. The departure lobby is on the second floor, while the arrival lobby is on the first floor. From the first floor, you can easily access buses, taxis, and cars to take you to the city. The airport is renowned for its international nature, with exits connecting to both Swiss and French sides. The building is relatively small, so even first-time visitors won’t get lost. Currently, some areas are undergoing renovations, which should enhance the overall experience. If you ever get the opportunity to visit this incredible airport, take some time to explore its surroundings.

Euro Airport Basel Mulhouse is one of the rare airport which serves both Switzerland and France. Even certain parts of Germany can be accessed from here. On arrival there was a clear sign which side to go to. We got our luggage soon. The airport building is small but very well managed. It was very easy to get a taxi outside.

The airport is pretty big and has lots of things to do while waiting for your plane. There is also a direct line that goes from Basel main train station to here, which was very convenient for me. And it was pretty easy for me to find the gate where my flight to Sibiu was departing. And it seemed unique to me that was split between the French zone with euro and Swiss zone with Franc.

Thos airport has two official names and two official codes. If that's not enough to confuse you, there are also separate parkings for French and Swiss. Cafes are as more expensive than London's airports. There are water fountains but no signs to direct you to them. Toilets are few and very small, you'd struggle to get any hands luggage in the cubicle so good luck if traveling solo! Duty free shopping has limited options compared to Zurich or major German airports and prices are again too high. On positive side, the airport is closed to Basel and there is a bus service running twice an hour exctat night. There is also a robotic trash can which regularly traverses the departure side.

Experience was fine. No train to the airport but the number 50 tram goes from right outside the Basel SBB, very easy to locate. I was flying with easyjet and they seem to have their own terminal area, rather uninspiring a bit like the name 'EuroAirport', nevertheless it was functional. My flight was from gate 27 and there is very limited seating in that area. Refreshments options also rather limited, maybe better in other areas of the terminal.

First time in Basel Mulhouse Airport. Uber dropped me off in front of the building. Walked in and it didn’t look like an airport. Asked people, and it turns out the second floor is for the check-in counter. Once done checking in, I needed to go one floor up for security. It wasn’t very busy, but still took me 10-15 minutes to get through, and then I was located in the Duty-Free shop. Followed the instructions on which direction to get out of the shop to my gate. Just before my gate, there was customs. It had two lines, one for EU residents and one for others. Initially, there were two officers working, and then later, while I was in line, they had increased to four officers. It took me 30 minutes to go through customs. Once passed customs, my gate was right there without a terminal. The airport is small, but for a first-timer, it was a little confusing.

People are exceptionally rude! Had to squeeze my small bag pack into my friends luggage (cause she booked two baggages and I just one). So apparently then it’s okay, but otherwise they probably would have confiscated it! And this would have been okay, if people were not so unfriendly. Doesn’t matter if it is during security or boarding. Definitely will travel through Zurich Airport in the future.
