The trip out here into the countryside is definitely worth it! Clad in Swiss hardwood, the building housing this restaurant stands directly adjacent to a recreational area and close to the Reuss River. Chef Manuel Steigmeier serves up modern cuisine with sustainability at its heart and that is bold, sophisticated and stripped down to the essentials. His ingredients are of the highest quality, and he makes a point of sourcing from Switzerland or the region. A prime example is the wonderfully succulent and perfectly cooked char, with a delicately balanced and rich beurre blanc with lime, potato brunoise and caviar from Frutigen, accompanied by spicy sweet-and-sour pickled celery with a crisp texture. Part of this culinary experience is an extensive wine list featuring around 600 labels, along with a knowledgeable and communicative service team. The decor is sleek and stylish, with striking designer lamps created by the owner's son. The terrace is glorious. A small selection of dishes from the evening menu is available at lunchtime.
