The Experience

From Michelin Guide

The idyllic setting alone makes the trip to this remote hamlet worthwhile. A pretty historical farmhouse bordering fields and meadows is home to this gourmet restaurant, whose stylish yet comfortable decor extends onto the terrace with its pergola and great view of the surrounding greenery. Then there are your warm and friendly hosts, Iris and Kurt Mösching. While the lady of the house adds a personal touch to proceedings front of house, heading up the professional yet appealingly relaxed service team, the chef-patron focuses on producing modern cuisine that draws on classic foundations. He wins diners over with quality ingredients, technical skill and attention to detail. The fabulous wine list boasts some 600 labels. Alternatively, you can order from the excellent bistro menu in the rustic Gaststube.
