The time-honoured Krone, long renowned as a destination for foodies, is now run with dedication by the well-travelled James Baron (most recently head chef at the Michelin-starred Amber in Hong Kong) and his charming wife Natacha. Entirely done out in Swiss stone pine, the compact dining space brims with atmosphere, further fuelled by the lively energy of the attentive staff. The cuisine is pared down to the essentials and made with top-notch produce, some of it regional. Comprising four, six or eight courses, the set menu features dishes such as pear ravioli, brown butter and sage, or veal, grapes and black salsify. An interesting touch: the cutlery is made by a local blacksmith. Modern Alpine-style guestrooms for overnight stays.
