The type of evening where you have a permanent smile on your face that you take home with you.I was lucky. After picking the number one restaurant on TripAdvisor in this small village of just 2,000 inhabitants, I turned up at around 7.30pm on a Friday night without a reservation. The Alpsu already looked full, but I was lucky enough to secure one of the few remaining tables for two for myself. Not long after I arrived, the staff were already having to turn away less fortunate hopefuls.The waitress was keen to tell me the two specials that were not on the menu: a salad with warm chanterelles featuring the house’s signature dressing with blueberries (which you can also buy to take home with you and a beef stroganoff with rœsti. What you should really order, of course, is the house (and regional speciality of capuns, which consists of rolls of spaetzli drough encasing the region’s famous air dried meat, the whole thing wrapped in chard leaves. I had had this before served in a rich cream sauce, before I was diagnosed with genetic lactose intolerance. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist and chose it as a starter. The rolls were smaller than I had had before, but all the more delicious for it, and the sauce was a kind of burned butter that had a wonderfully savoury taste to it.For the main course I opted for the special and it was served on two separate plates, one for the stroganoff and one for the rœsti, which was a full serving straight from the pan. Both were delicious and I can say without exaggeration that the stroganoff was the best I have ever had. The cubes of beef had been cooked to perfection, leaving them rosy on the inside and nicely juicy. The understated presentation of the dish made it all the more enjoyable there were no unnecessary additions such as the dreaded grilled tomato or a token side salad.I accompanied this with some local white wine served by the glass and rounded it off with a cheese selection (you can choose 3, 5 or even 10 varieties of hard and soft cheeses . There is also a selection of home made desserts and a separate Movenpick ice cream menu. But I was captivated by the dessert menu, because beyond the half page of desserts below the cheese offering lay no fewer than three pages of whiskies and another three pages of digestifs. As a whisky fan I looked for something a bit different to my usual peaty tipple from the islands and found it in a 26 year old Glen Albyn single cask single malt. At 11.50 Swiss francs a glass, this seemed thoroughly reasonable for such an old whisky. And when the bottle was presented to me in the true Swiss style, I was astonished to see that the whisky had actually been bottled in 2000. So it was distilled in 1974, some 45 years ago. My whisky mad father did some research and found that the distillery had long since been demolished and that a bottle of this particular vintage (of which only 264 were filled cost upwards of £500, making that 11.50 glass seem even more of a bargain.The evening was made all the more pleasant by the attentive staff, all of whom served me at one point or another and all asked how everything was. To top it all the chef herself came out at the end of service and went to every table to ask how their meals were. She even asked me how the Stroganoff was (how did she know I’d had it? She was working one floor above! so I made a point of complementing her on how well the meat was cooked.All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening for what was, by Swiss standards, a reasonable price of under 100 Swiss francs, considering that I had had three courses, a beer, 3dl of wine and that whisky. The bill even came with a tiny pebble painted with a smiley face to remind you just how special it had been. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in the region, this should be your first choice, but make sure you reserve!

It’s not so often that we find a restaurant where it is so easy to know what rating to give here it definitively was! Pure perfection. On our first night we had a fondue chinoise with tasty and tender meat and lots of delicious homemade sauces. On our second night we tried a Capuns (very clearly a must try when you come here) and a Cordon Bleu. Both were perfect and probably the best we’ve ever had. The service was very welcoming, friendly and attentive on both nights, even if circumstances were made more difficult by all the regulations to follow due to Coronavirus. Great compliments to the whole team we are already looking forward to our next dinner at your lovely place!
