Friends in the area took me here, and it was a real treat - fresh, creative cooking paired with Swiss wines. We had a gewürztraminer from the Valais followed by a red vin de table that had a nice acidity which paired well with the lamb we had. We started with a smoked salmon crème fraîche amuse-bouche, followed by venison carpaccio with a strong Swiss cheese and a balsamic glaze. (I'm not a huge carpaccio fan, but I have to admit this was actually delicate and elegant.) Then came a salad with speck, superb greens, and unbelievable local melon. For the main dish we had a perfectly cooked rack of lamb encrusted with nuts and served with a small potato pie. To finish things off we had a chocolate soufflé with coconut ice cream and a delicious olive-oiled and salted piece of soft dark chocolate. It was a memorable meal, and the chef greeted us in the end, so we could offer our compliments. If you're in the region, this place is worth a trip, and if you're nearby, you have absolutely no excuse not to stop by.

I struggled a bit with the all-German menu, but gravitated to their daily specials section and could make some headway in the translation!!! Hubs and I both had the grilled pork chops with buttered pasta and mixed vegetables, with a saffron soup starter. Out of this world delicious, all the way around! It was probably our favorite meal of our entire Swiss vacation! I don't know if/how we'd ever be here again, but would highly recommend this spot for sure!

Excelent, good place to stay with a good kitchen.read more
