The grilled scallops, accompanied by Jerusalem artichokes and truffle vinaigrette, formed the basis of my entree. The exquisitely cooked and incredibly tender scallops complemented the Jerusalem artichokes and truffle vinaigrette. I ordered the roasted duck breast with black truffle and foie gras for my main course. The duck breast was exquisitely prepared, and adding foie gras and black truffle added an extravagance. I indulged in a chocolate soufflé accompanied by vanilla ice cream as a dessert. The chocolate was flavorful and wealthy, while the soufflé was delicate and airy.

The pairing was suitable for a glass of Swiss Chasselas accompanying my meal. At IGNIV, the service is impeccable.

From the owner: 15 Gault Millau Punkte - Die Gastgeber Tino Zimmermann (Gault Millau 2012: "Entdeckung des Jahres"…read morein der Deutschschweiz) und Cornelia Zimmermann mit ihrem Team erwarten Sie mit zwei feinen 7- und 6-Gang-Menüs und einer reichen Karte an Köstlichkeiten mit saisonalen Produkten aus der Region. Die Speisekarte in der Stiva Veglia bezeugt die hohen Ansprüche einer Cuisine du Marché régionale. Die Weinkarte enthält manche edle Tropfen. Das önologische Credo von Tino Zimmermann lässt den Blick nicht in die Ferne schweifen, sondern ehrt das Schaffen der Winzer der "Alten Welt" - nicht zuletzt aus ökologischen Gründen. Sie finden bei den weissen wie bei den roten Gewächsen Weine aus der Region und allen wichtigen Anbaugebieten Europas.

By the way, if you're ever in Zurich on business, you might want to try staying at the Hotel Sonne…read morein Kusnacht. It's about 10 km from downtown, and 11 minutes by trains that run every 15 minutes (and there's a direct train to the airport.) It's right on the lake, sunny in the afternoons, and the rooms are bigger than you'll get in downtown. Don't get me wrong - it ain't cheap. But all the hotels in Zurich are really expensive, and the Sonne is charming AND... If you walk up the main street, and follow the stream called the Tobler, you come to a ravine trail that is wonderfully Swiss. The waterfalls are sculpted, there are arched bridges over the stream, and this time of year there are teams of civic workers in the forest valley blowing away the leaves! (Even other Zurich residents think this is a bit much.) Up and down is about 15 km with 220 m vertical, and just a great way of working off your Zurcher g'schnetzlets mit Rosti!

We had fondue (one of the milder ones, can't remember which, and added chicken) and the Raclette with sausages. So yummy! The kids were given coloring pages and pencils (always a plus!) and their rösti with Raclette plates were sooo good. The restaurant was very clean and care was taken to distance diners during the time of COVID. Our waiter was wonderful and took the time to explain everything to us. A really great experience and well worth the price!
