Dining
Schwanen
Organic is the watchword here, from the mindfully sourced produce used in the kitchen to the furnishings chosen for the restaurant and hotel of the same name – the latter were crafted by local artisans from untreated natural materials. Many of the ingredients are grown in the on-site garden; fermented and pickled foods are also used. The menu tempts diners with options such as medium-rare flank steak of Schönenbach venison with creamy sweet potato. The plant-based options, such as the hand-made gnocchi with colewort and Vetterhof beetroot, are well worth trying. Fans of organic or natural wine
