Swiss gastronomy has been at a "solid level" for years, said Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide, at the ceremony at the Swiss Hotel Management School in Lausanne (EHL) on Monday.

"Of the 136 restaurants awarded stars in this selection, 107 have been awarded one star, 25 two stars and four three stars," Poullennec was quoted as saying in a statement from Guide Michelin.

Last year, 138 restaurants in Switzerland were awarded at least one Michelin Guide star.
