Guat'z Essen

This restaurant may be rather inconspicuously located on the edge of a small village, but it is certainly worthy of your attention. "From Permaculture to Table" is the concept behind it. Peter Fankhauser is doing remarkable work here in two respects: first, he keeps a 1 000m² permaculture garden and is therefore himself able to supply the restaurant with fruit and vegetables. Only cereals and dairy produce are sourced elsewhere in the region. Secondly, these ingredients are transformed into elaborate dishes that are brimming with flavour and aroma, complexity and intensity. They serve a single vegetarian set menu, which comprises nine courses on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and 13 courses on Fridays and Saturdays. Service starts at the same time for all diners, with explanations provided about the sustainable philosophy.
