In a prime Old Town location right by the River Reuss, this couple – Oscar de Matos and Nadine Baumgartner – welcome guests to their restaurant, which has a tastefully modern bistro vibe with a pleasingly relaxed feel and an open kitchen. Made with top-notch ingredients, the dishes are brimming with personality – expressive, bold and creative, they are characterised by an intense interplay of acidity and contrasts. Notable examples include "kohlrabi, Nashi pear, buttermilk, chipotle ketchup" or "halibut, walnut, parsnips, Chasselas grapes, sauerkraut and beurre blanc". "Unusual, but down-to-earth and with a pinch of punk" is how they aptly describe themselves. The set menu can be personalised with additional courses, as desired. The opening gambit in the form of a selection of tapas reflecting the chef's roots gets things off to a fantastic start. Hostess Nadine Baumgartner is always on hand and, as we have come to expect, always impresses with her charm and expertise. Right next door is a café that turns into a wine bar in the evenings – it’s well worth arriving a little earlier for a drink! Tip: You can park at Parkhaus Kesselturm, just a short distance away.
