The menu features an abundance of appealing dishes, from regional classics such as Zwiebelrostbraten (roast beef with onions) and spaetzle… to the chef's more modern options, such as vitello forello (with smoked trout). Be sure to try the house-made Maultaschen (dumplings), and don't miss out on delicious desserts such as their take

Landgasthof Adler

€€Farm to table, Regional Cuisine

This centuries-old inn has long been known in the region for serving good food. Since February 2022, chef Michael Vogel has been perpetuating this tradition as the chef-patron with great dedication – he had already worked here years earlier and took over the reins after a stint under top chef Andreas Caminada. The restaurant serves seasonally inspired dishes, available as a surprise menu or à la carte. The inviting decor seamlessly blends tradition and modern design. Tip: The charming guestrooms complement the restaurant perfectly and reflect the establishment's distinctive character.
