Hotel and Restaurant Krone

Sihlbrugg /Hirzel – I read an article about this restaurant in “Zurich geht aus” and it sounded quite good.

Today, I went for a relaxed Sunday lunch and it was just great and I would not have expected such good food! Normally, I’m not a “sauce-lover” but I had one of the tastiest experiences with this foie-gras sauce today….I could not wait longer to write about it.

With the sauce…obviously…came a dish and a whole sundays menu. It started with tagliolini with cray fish and it looked just lovely with the little red crabs arranged in a triangle (see pic below). The pheasant was honoured to lay next to the addictive sauce, accompanied by Brussels sprout, red cabbace and potatoe “knödel”.

We spent all in all 3 hours in the restaurant and were pampered from start to end with a lovely crew, all dressed in beautiful dirndl-dresses.

Zurich – great hot dog with spicy or sweet mustard. You can also eat and drink inside the show room.

Johannisburg – Wild season

Altendorf – On top of the hill of Altendorf you find this unspectacular restaurant (from the inside…) but with a stunning view over lake Zurich. I really recommend to have a typical seasonal plate with roast saddle of venison, red cabbage, chestnuts, Brussels sprout and spaetzle. It is a bit pricy but you get a lot of food. So next time I would set aside the salad for only the plate and maybe a dessert….. www.johannisburg.ch

Freienbach – Last week my mother visited us and she wanted to eat out at a nice place. So we chose Obstgarten as I haven’t been there for a year and wanted to check whether it was still as good as it was. The Obstgarten has 16 GaultMillau points and divided the restaurant in two parts; one is the bistro and the other the gourmet. We had Wiener Schitzel (with brown panade) and luke warm cucumber salad. It was really good and the portions fair. For my taste it could have been a little crispier. The service was very friendly and attentive. I think, I need to go again in the evening in the Gourmet part. When I made the reservation I asked if we can bring the dog and when we came, there was already a bowl with water ready for her.

Dal Nastro – Running lunch, aperitivo and dinner in one restaurant

Zurich – The opening of the restaurant was some month ago and I just had a drink there.

This week I met a friend for lunch in Dal Nastro and I was  amazed about the hearty welcome by Giorgio. For lunch I had the paccheri Bolognese – and I have to admit I did not expect it being so good. After lunch, we received a flyer advertising “Aperitivo Italiano”, where you get little appetizers complimentary with your drinks.

So the next evening I returned, to find out if it was real Italian Aperitivo. Yes it is…and we got hooked by the atmosphere, the food and the nice and attentive authentic service. So in the end we also had dinner and made a reservation for the next Aperitivo evening with our friends.
