A charming, long-standing family business, where Cliff Hämmerle sticks to what he does best: serving classic cuisine, skilfully imbued with creative touches. He works with top-notch ingredients and likes to use lots of vegetables, especially regional produce. The seven-course Chef's Table Menu is also available in a vegetarian version. Serving starts at 7pm. In a tastefully modern setting, up to 12 diners are seated at four tables. The chefs prepare the dishes before their eyes, which makes for a thrilling and immersive experience and provides some fascinating insights. The head chef also explains the dishes. You should allow plenty of time for this culinary adventure. A pared-down set menu is served at lunchtime. The whole family is involved in the service, working together with great dedication as a well-coordinated team to make their diners feel at home. The wine pairings for the set menu are fantastic.
