SENNS.Restaurant

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative, International

Gusswerk – once a bell foundry – is an impressive location for a restaurant. Details of the old industrial architecture have been skilfully combined with chic, stylish modern furnishings. The centrepiece is the open kitchen, allowing you to watch the team led by Andreas Senn and head chef Christian Geisler at work. The cuisine is presented in the form of "The 5 Senses of Taste", a set menu that abounds with creativity and well-thought-out details, finely balanced textures and bold flavours, from the five savoury appetisers to dishes such as "Chilean sea bass, ajoblanco, tomato, Amalfi lemon",

The cuisine is characterised by a bold and inventive spirit, infused with a personal touch that shines through in dishes like the foie gras terrine with cauliflower and passion fruit; a symphony of textures and flavours that showcases the chef's mastery of contrasting elements. When it comes to the quality of his ingredients, Jürgen Vigné sets great store by

Restaurant am Hochfuchs

€€€€Austrian, Regional Cuisine

"Traditional – innovative – down-to-earth – modern" is the motto of Margit and Michael Oberreiter. It is also an apt description of the modern-inspired Austrian and regional fare served here, which ranges from Backhendl (breaded fried chicken) with potato and cucumber salad and lingonberries to sheatfish fillet with lardo, chamomile butter broth, blini and wild broccoli. The four-course "Michaels Menü" comes highly recommended, but the extensive à la carte selection of traditional dishes and tavern classics is also tempting. And on Sundays and public holidays diners can tuck into Sunday roast

There are set menus, one of which is vegetarian, an à la carte menu and an additional afternoon snack menu – there really is something for everyone. This lovely spot, which is also a

Gasthof Auerhahn

€€€Country cooking, Seasonal Cuisine

Run with great dedication, this friendly, family-owned restaurant is located at a slight remove from the city centre, close to the train station, but it's well worth making the detour for the excellent food. The cuisine is regional, seasonal and pleasingly down-to-earth. Their appealing range of dishes includes venison ragout with bread dumplings and chanterelles, as well as delicious desserts such as Topfenknödel (curd dumplings). Order à la carte or opt for the set menu, which comprises three to five courses – a vegetarian version is also available. Dine in the inviting interior or out on th
