I had the pleasure of dining at this beautiful restaurant during my recent trip to Fribourg, and it was truly a fine dining experience to remember. The stylish setting, enhanced by the captivating artwork of Max Roth, created a refined and inspiring atmosphere. Each dish was a masterpiece—meticulously crafted, artfully presented, and full of well-balanced, thoughtful flavors. The service was warm, attentive, and refreshingly genuine, adding to the overall sense of hospitality and care. A perfect blend of culinary artistry and ambiance. Can highly recommend trying it!
