Tavern zum Schäfli
2 Michelin stars
Although the appearance of the 300-year-old timber-framed house is enchanting, you would hardly guess the high culinary standards that await you inside. Host and head chef Christian Kuchler masters the classic art of cooking, but with occasional creative or Asian nuances. The quality of the products is paramount in all dishes: they are served without superfluous gimmicks, but with precise craftsmanship and full flavors. Both the menu and the à la carte options are equally tempting. They are accompanied by wonderful German Rieslings, excellent regional wines and red wines from France and Italy with impressive vintage qualities. The ambience in the stylish and cozy parlors or on the delightful terrace is inviting. First-class service completes the outstanding overall picture.
