Landgasthof Meierei

Built a century ago as a relay station for the Swiss postal service, today it houses four dining rooms, which have in days of yore served playboys, princes, and kings. Those heady glory days are now relegated to local legend, though, as the place has become solidly bourgeois. Considering the glamorous clientele that the place has attracted, it serves an earthy and simple menu, ranging from fried pork steak with celeriac and zucchini to slices of salmon with an orange-laced fennel ragout. Also try the Wiener schnitzel and goulash dishes.

No diner is allowed to drive a car along the difficult-to-navigate service roads that reach the restaurant. You can hire a taxi costing up to 100F for four passengers. Our recommendation is that you park your car in the public parking lot near the edge of the lake, just below the Hotel Waldhaus am See, and walk the 20-minute lakeside promenade to the restaurant. The footpath has been carefully paved, and there are only a few slopes to negotiate. Before you set out, it's advisable to phone the restaurant to confirm that it's open.

There are nine cozy alpine rooms rented here costing from 250F to 320F for a double or from 350F to 450F for a suite, including breakfast.
