"A fine little establishment on the upper part of Lake Zurich. You have to come on foot (nice walk from Schmerikon to Rapperswil or vice versa) or by car but it's worth it. I couldn't stop my tactile taste buds from bursting with inner praise. This little detail with bread crumbs on the ravioli is awesome. The ravioli too, of course ... lovely filling in great dough. Warm staff at every stage and then the view. It's great to dine so close to the still water... Marvellous"
