While visiting the beautiful Emmental region I stopped for lunch at Landgasthof Löwen, which proved a very good choice. I sat in the Heimiswiler Stube cozy and nicely decorated room. Thumbs up to Nadia (one of the three owners) for her smiling, attentive and efficient service Swiss hospitality at its best. As starter I chose the Nüsslisalat (lamb 's lettuce salad) with poached egg and fresh mushrooms. Good seasoning and very tasty. As I visited mid October the menu also included a range of venison dishes. The main course was Geschnetzeltes vom Wild (sliced venison served in a rich creamy sauce) served with all the trimmings (red cabbage, chestnut, homemade spaetzli): tasty and generous portion. I indulged myself with a mousse au chocolat for dessert, served with egg liqueur. Truly delicious. Swiss price level is admittedly very high and Gasthof Löwen is no exception. The bill amounted to CHF80, however the good food and excellent service are definitely well worth it.
