Gasthof Falken

Swiss restaurant · Aussersihl

"At its best, a gastropub maintains the comfort of a traditional pub while delivering inventive food. Falken has an advantage on the cozy vibes, having been an inn for over 400 years prior to being opened as a restaurant in 2020 by Céline Tschanz and Florian Bobst. Despite opening early in the pandemic, the restaurant has managed to become a commercial and critical success. The dinner and lunch menus are loaded with Swiss classics like cordon bleu. The brunch menu is short but mighty, including options for different dietary restrictions, like a dish of eggs served “your way” with sourdough toast, roasted fennel, pears, and chanterelles. Given the extensive indoor and outdoor seating, you can probably get away without a reservation." - N.A. Mansour

Gelati AM SEE

Ice cream shop · Diesbach

"Ein bisschen ist es wie mit dem ersten Kuss: Der Ort, an dem alles beginnt, setzt einen Anker ins Herz. Für immer. Seit über zwanzig Jahren stehen wir mit unserem einfachen Glacéwagen am Hafen Riesbach: hinter uns der See, über uns verrückteste Himmelsstimmungen, in der Luft der Duft nach Lebenslust. Es ist ein Privileg, einen derart wunderbaren Flecken bespielen zu dürfen. Auch, weil hier die italienischen Strände, die spanischen Promenaden und das südfranzösische Savoir-vivre ein bisschen näher scheinen. Oder wie es andere vor uns formuliert haben: Hier herrscht freie Sicht aufs Mittelmeer. Wir freuen uns darauf, diese mit Euch zu teilen!"
