We build culinary bridges

The China Foods Alliance is an initiative aimed at spreading the rich culinary diversity of Chinese cuisine across Switzerland. Through platforms like the China Foods Guide, workshops, roadshows, food festivals, and even food cruises, we showcase authentic Chinese food and cultural traditions, connecting local communities with a deeper understanding of Chinese gastronomy.

We take pride in being cultural ambassadors of Chinese food. Through our efforts, we:

Educate

Offer insights
Offer insights into the cultural significance of specific dishes, connecting them to China’s rich history and traditions.

Create culinary experiences

No, the China Foods Alliance is not an organization of restaurants. Rather, it serves as a platform to promote and share knowledge about Chinese culinary traditions. The Alliance connects food lovers with Chinese restaurants by providing resources such as the China Foods Guide, and by organizing events, workshops, and festivals.
