Since the prices in Switzerland are very high, if you eat in a restaurant for every meal, you may end up eating junk food when you return to Taiwan. So supermarkets are your best friend. The most common supermarket in Switzerland is "Coop", and others include Migrolino, Migros, and Denner. , Lidl..., but you can just remember Coop. It is very dense and can be seen in any city in Switzerland. It sells a variety of fresh groceries, biscuits and snacks, souvenirs, daily necessities, drinks..., It can be said that if you have never been to Coop, you have never been to Switzerland😂~ Next, let’s unpack what good things can be bought in the supermarket to satisfy your hunger, and what can you buy back to Taiwan to give to your relatives and friends~ (most of them are Mainly Coop, if it is not Coop, it will be marked additionally)
1,COOP ROAST CHICKEN
Recommendation index ★★★★★(Super high CP, delicious and cheap!)
Definitely come to COOP! Be sure to try his grilled chicken! Highly recommended, not only whole chickens, half chickens, but also chicken legs and wings, and the highlight is that they are all super cheap! The price is about the same as Taiwan 21 Flavor Restaurant, which is a great deal! A great helper for saving money in Switzerland
2,Freshly squeezed orange juice
Recommendation index ★★★★★(Freshly squeezed means delicious and healthy)
There are freshly squeezed juice machines in many stores, with bottles of different sizes next to them. After choosing the size, you can start squeezing the juice yourself. Although the price is slightly higher than the orange juice in the general refrigerator, this kind of freshly squeezed juice is still available. The pressed ones are healthier, and the sweet and sour taste is very thirst-quenching. I highly recommend trying it.
3.All kinds of bread
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(There are many flavors, a good helper to satisfy your hunger)
There are many different types of bread in the supermarket, including pizza, sandwiches, burgers... and I have bought them several times without any problems. They are the best choice for breakfast or late-night snacks (but a few times I bought them at night and they were not crispy. The ones bought in the morning are fresher)
4.Various types of yogurt and fruit cereals
Recommendation index ★★★★★(Switzerland)
It is very popular in Europe to eat yogurt or cereals. I have eaten COOP’s yogurt several times in Switzerland these days. It is not just eaten on its own like in Taiwan. It is also paired with many cereals or fruits. It is delicious and very special. Healthy, I personally like it very much
Recommend everyone to give it a try
5.Self-service coffee machine
Recommended index ★★★★★(hot drinks with high CP value)
There are self-service coffee machines in supermarkets. They have a variety of coffee, hot tea, and chocolate. If you want something hot, this is definitely your best choice. It’s cheap and delicious.
6.hot dog burger
Recommendation index ★★★★★(Hot dog Q-bombs, bread buns)
This kind of self-service hot dog burger is also very common in supermarkets. Each one costs 4.5 Swiss francs. Although it is much more expensive than the ones in Taiwan, it is considered a common delicacy in Switzerland. His bread is divided into alkaline bread and French bread. The hole is already dug in the middle for you. You only need to choose the sauce you want and squeeze it into the bread, then stuff the hot dog into the hole. Their hot dogs are relatively solid and I think they are quite delicious. It is very convenient to take on the train.
7.Various microwave foods
Recommendation index ★★★★★(generally delicious)
In addition to ordinary pasta, there are many Indian curries here, and some are Swiss specialties that are hard to find even in restaurants! I have bought a few and they are all quite delicious (the curry is even better than the ones in the deli section🤣 and cheaper). Some supermarkets have microwave ovens in them. If you want to save money, you might consider coming to the supermarket to buy microwaveable food and take them back to the restaurant to eat~
8,ZWEIFEL potato chips
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(There are many Swiss-limited flavors!)
When you see a big "Z" on the package, it's him. This potato chips is limited to Switzerland. The whole package is made from swiss. It's really hard to buy elsewhere. And it has many flavors, which I like. Poulet (chicken gravy flavor) and Indian Pepper & Sea Salt (Indian pepper and salt) are highly recommended to buy and take home as gifts!
9,Various chocolates
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Switzerland)
It would be a shame to go back to Switzerland without buying some chocolate. Whether it is the famous Lindt chocolate or Toblerone, they are all produced in Switzerland. Although they are also available in Taiwan, they are really A classic representative of Switzerland! It is also one of the few relatively affordable souvenirs in Switzerland🤣
Lindt chocolate
The LOGO on the Toblerone is Zermatt's famous attraction - the Matterhorn! You can buy it and take photos on the mountain~
In addition to the above two kinds of chocolate, there is another kind of Halba chocolate, which is also unique to Switzerland, and its taste is more diverse, which is also highly recommended!
10.Cheese fondue (only available at Migrolino Supermarket)
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Classic Swiss cuisine)
One of Switzerland’s classic dishes is its cheese fondue, which can even be bought in supermarkets and used as souvenirs! I saw that there are only two brands, and they come in different sizes. They are very suitable for taking back and giving to friends and family to experience the local delicacies. I personally bought a lot of them and haven’t eaten them yet. I look forward to it.
11.Swiss century-old biscuit Kambly
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Must carry! Must buy!)
You definitely can’t miss this brand of biscuits when you come to Switzerland! This century-old biscuit brand in Switzerland has a variety of popular flavors to choose from. Even the biscuits provided on the Glacier Train are from this brand. Look at how classic it is. They are not only sweet but also salty ( Such as milk-baked chives and olive oil flavor) But my favorite is the original flavor. It is definitely the best choice to buy as a gift to relatives and friends (relatives and friends say it is delicious!). But it has a small disadvantage: it does not come in a single package. You should eat it immediately afterward, and if you bring any chocolate back to Taiwan, put it in the refrigerator, otherwise it will melt~~
12. Movenpick
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★☆(You can buy it everywhere XD)
Movenpick ice cream is also produced in Switzerland. You can see various flavors of ice cream in supermarkets, and some are Swiss-only flavors (highly recommend Swiss cream!)
In addition to ice cream, they also sell instant coffee powder here, but I didn’t see coffee beans or coffee powder. I didn’t buy it because I don’t like drinking instant coffee. If there are elders who like to drink it, it is also a very decent gift.
13.Ricola throat lozenges, herbal hot drinks (Ricola)
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★☆(Although it is a Swiss brand, it is too ordinary XD)
You must be familiar with this throat lozenge. You can buy it everywhere in Taiwan. It is also a brand from Switzerland. It claims that all natural herbs grown in Switzerland are used without pesticides or insecticides.
There is also this kind of herbal hot drink, but I think this is too common in Taiwan, and the price is about the same, so don’t waste too much space in your suitcase XD
14.ORANGE BLOOD
Souvenir recommendation index ★★☆☆☆(Very strong aspartame sweetness, don’t like it)
You can sometimes see this drink in restaurants in Switzerland, and supermarkets also sell cans of it. But for some reason, this drink has a strong aspartame sweetness, which I personally don’t like.
15.Milk soda Rivella
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★☆(Swiss national drink)
This soda is regarded as the national drink in Switzerland. The raw material in it is whey, which contains lactose and lactic acid. It is also called milk soda. I thought it would taste like Calpis, but in fact it tastes like Victoria. It’s more like 🤣. It also has different flavors and low-sugar options. Although it doesn’t taste very special, you can’t buy it in Taiwan. You must try it when you come to Switzerland.
16.Swiss Castle Beer Feldschlösschen
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★☆(Switzerland)
This dish is also a famous Swiss meal. It is fried with seasoned potatoes as a base and fried into a crispy texture. It is very delicious when eaten in restaurants. You can also buy it in various flavors in supermarkets. You can buy it back to miss the Swiss fried food. potato taste
17.Castle beer Feldschlösschen
Souvenir recommendation index ★★★★★(Swiss specialty beer)
The most famous and distinctive castle beer in Switzerland, although it is also available in Taiwan, there are many flavors here. Each series tastes slightly different. The foam is dense and not bitter, and it is smooth to drink, but it is It will be a little sour for a while, so cheers as soon as possible!
(This beer is limited to the Zermatt area, so if you miss it, you won’t have a chance to drink it XD)
