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
Funkes Obstgarten
This restaurant will soon reopen with a new owner.
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.

Do you like cheese?
At Chez Crettole you get the best cheese fondue and raclette outside Valais region in Switzerland. You can choose from many different styles and sizes of fondues and raclette cheese is melded at the open fire place – wonderful!
There is no Internet page but another experience from another blogger I like Harrys Ding.

Bernerhof – Austria in Zurich

I went to the Bernerhof over lunch. The restaurant is pretty and you feel warmly welcome. My risotto with mushrooms was really good but as soon as my neighbour at the next table got his enormous and ridiculously big Wiener Schnitzel – I knew – I have to come again and try it!
Auberge de L’ill – Alsace at its best
Illhaeusern near Colmar
This summer, I invited my husband for his round birthday to a short trip to Alsace in France.
During the day we visited Colmar which is such a pretty little city and it looks like it has been all painted from a fairy tale book…
Overnight we stayed in a lovely hotel just about 15 minutes from the Auberge, called Hotel de L’illwald. A really nice place and built in the same typical style the houses are in Colmar (timber framing).
But now to the highlight of the evening. The chef Mr Haeberlin ears three stars in the Michelin guide and the family has a long tradition in this house. The venue is embedded in the countryside and the river Ill flows calm and nicely in front of the garden. People told me, normally there are a lot of swans swimming in there, but I guess it was their day off…
We enjoyed the apéro in the garden area, before we were let to our table. We were placed in a very private bay of the restaurant which made it even more romantic.
I think, this time the pictures need to speak about the food as this would be 5 pages or longer. Of course we had the tasting menu with – I really do not remember – about 8 courses that were absolutely amazingly delicious! The staff of course was also very nice and professional.
So, I recommend to go and try once…but beware of the prices 😉
