Taverne zum Schäfli
2 Michelin Stars
Although the appearance of the over 300-year-old half-timbered house is charming, one would hardly guess the high culinary standards that await inside. Host and head chef Christian Kuchler masters classic cooking techniques, but with occasional creative or Asian nuances. For all dishes, the quality of the products is paramount: they are served without unnecessary frills, but with precise craftsmanship and full flavors. Both the menu and the à la carte options are equally tempting. Additionally, there are wonderful German Rieslings, excellent regional wines, and red wines from France and Italy with impressive vintage qualities. The ambiance in the stylish and cozy dining rooms or on the delightful terrace is inviting. First-class service completes the excellent overall picture.
