You can sense the dedication of hosts Rita and Domenico Miggiano-Köferli, who, since 2000, have been running this lovely inn that is steeped in history. As well as having tasteful, individually decorated guestrooms and Gaststube (their everyday restaurant), Löwen is home to Apriori, a fine dining restaurant that has held a MICHELIN star since 2018. The setting is modern and elegant, with warm tones and elegant design details shaping a refined interior. The small private dining area, with just five tables, offers a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. Chef-patron Domenico Miggiano puts his heart an
WebsiteThis centrally located inn has tables in the stylish conservatory or a simpler dining room where you can tuck into traditional fare that often draws on international influences. The wide-ranging menu includes spaetzle with Sbrinz (hard cheese) and truffle, cordon bleu with Alpine cheese, "Vorässä 2.0" (beef stew with a twist) and salmon green curry. The service is friendly and attentive. Lunchtime options are more limited and moderately priced.
WebsiteAt this long-established restaurant, Alain Koenig serves up dishes that are pleasingly down-to-earth and packed with flavour. Fish takes centre stage, but there are also a few meat and vegetarian options. You can dine à la carte or opt for one of two set menus: "Complet" (four courses) and "Degustation" (three to six courses). The tasteful decor is classically elegant in style, the service attentive and friendly. Decent wine list. Tip: For private dining or celebrations, book the historical vaulted cellar.
WebsiteThis 500-year-old heritage-protected inn is run by Patricia and Cäsar Meyer, who represent the second generation of their family here. He has a penchant for fish caught in Lake Zurich, just a stone's throw away – you can't get any fresher or more regional than that! Meat and vegetables, too, are sourced from the immediate vicinity. Besides the whitefish and perch, the Stäfa venison is especially worth trying, such as the overnight-braised shoulder with Pinot Noir sauce. This commitment to regional ingredients underscores the kitchen's sustainable approach. Food is served on the first floor of
WebsiteThe Oliveira family ensures a warm welcome in a harmonious, intentionally informal setting in which guests feel instantly at ease. Service is attentive, and the Mediterranean cuisine is based on top-quality ingredients, with fresh seafood a particular highlight. Be sure not to miss the zabaione with port wine and vanilla ice cream – available by pre-order only. Alongside an extensive à la carte menu, there is also a selection of daily specials and seasonal dishes. The food is complemented by an outstanding range of wines from the owner's Portuguese homeland, including fine ports, also availabl
WebsiteRun by Rita and Domenico Miggiano-Köferli, Gasthof Löwen's second eatery is a delightful and more down-to-earth alternative to the fine dining restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting, not least because of the warm hospitality provided by the waitstaff. The freshly prepared, flavoursome dishes include pan-fried Lötschberg perch fillet with lemon thyme and almond butter, and Zurich veal ragout with glazed vegetables and butter rösti. Vegetarian options available. Popular lunch deal.
WebsiteA really attractive restaurant: sleek, modern, spacious and – thanks to the large glass frontage – pleasingly bright, not to mention the view of the beautiful countryside. The leafy terrace with its shady chestnut tree is also very inviting. On the menu: flavourful cuisine prepared using excellent ingredients and drawing on Mediterranean and regional influences. Lunchtime options are more limited and more moderately priced.
WebsiteThe location by Lake Zurich is quite something – the terrace overlooking the water is dreamy, not least on account of the mountain views! The restaurant boasts further charms indoors: regional cachet shines through, beautifully combined with chic, modern style. The menu includes classics – beef tartare and crispy battered fish bites are a must – and contemporary dishes such as lake fish ceviche or, for dessert, "wild cacao from Bolivia".
