Neue Blumenau

What a lovely spot! This attractive building may be a bit out of the way, but it's worth the journey, especially in summer if you can secure a table on the wonderful garden terrace! But the elegant interior is just as inviting. Whichever space you plump for, you will be treated to courteous service – Bernadette Lisibach, the extremely friendly owner, also makes frequent appearances at the tables. She really puts her heart and soul into running this place, favouring honest cooking over unnecessary fanfare, yet delivering dishes full of flavour, character and carefully chosen ingredients. The cuisine leans towards the classical. In addition to the set menus – one of which is vegetarian – there is an appealing à la carte selection featuring house favourites such as "Lisi's meatloaf" served with rosemary roasted potatoes, or pan-fried double veal chop from Eastern Switzerland with cognac sauce, house-made taglierini and vegetables (for two people). A good wine list and a fine selection of cheeses round off the experience. Handy for motorists: You can park 50m from the building.
