Food Zurich 2024
Austria event tips


The FOOD ZURICH festival enters the next round from 6 to 16 June 2024. Our beautiful neighbour and incredibly diverse country of enjoyment, Austria, will be represented with several events. Hosts from Austria's regions will present culinary delights and hospitality in Zurich in a very relaxed way. 

Sarah from Züriplausch.ch (me 😉) will be presenting their events at Food Zurich in cooperation with the Austrian national tourism organisation. I will also be attending many events in person (masterclass on preserving and both Chef's Tables) and am really looking forward to meeting some of you in person.
