Slash Dining Expenses at Supermarket Delis

Dining out can quickly consume a travel budget, with basic casual sit-down meals routinely costing over 35 to 40 francs per person. To keep meal expenses manageable without sacrificing food quality, take advantage of the prepared meal counters inside major grocery chains like Coop and Migros.

Larger supermarket branches feature full-service hot bars, salad bars, roast chicken, and fresh local sandwiches made daily. Pair ready-to-eat cheeses and bakery items with a scenic park bench or lakeside promenade for an authentic picnic lunch at a fraction of standard restaurant bills.
