Rest. Sonnendeck Apertura, Flüelen, Switzerland

 Before you continue your journey to Tessin

or a mountain hike in the area, I recommend you make a stop at this restaurant.

 

 

 Norbert Koller and Torsten Hering are the new operators of this beautiful location, They did a great job remodeling inside and out, and the Marina look is a perfect theme being right on the edge of the lake.

Norbert handles the front of the house and Torsten is the chef preparing the great fares.

There is ample space for boat docking if you decide to cruise on the lake in your own boat and dock right in front of the restaurant to have lunch or dinner.

From the train station and cruise ship docks in Flüelen, it is only a 10-minute short walk along the lake to reach the restaurant, there is no parking by the restaurant, therefore you must walk to it, it is, however, a beautiful walk from the stations to the location.

I spent Father’s Day there with my family consisting of 21 in total, the food was perfect, well presented, and served efficiently. The menus were made of a wooden board, the pages attached to the board, and held together with a piece of driftwood from the lake, a great idea!

The menu items consist of items such as  Lamb Loin Portwine Sauce, Ossobucco over Saffron Risotto, Angus Sirloin Steak, Tuna Carpaccio, Pan Seared Branzino, (which was cooked perfectly) Grilled Octopus, Deep-fried Pike-perch from the lake and a variety of great Pizzas. My favorite is the Bruschetta Pizza, a nice, crusty bottom topped with pesto, olive oil, quartered date tomatoes, arugula, and buffalo mozzarella, I did not miss all that tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese at all!

What caught my attention, besides the great food and drinks, was how they served certain items, for example, the Ice tea was served in a small wine carafe, and the Bananasplit was splintered not split, and served in a glass mug, definitely easier to eat!  The Tiramisu was individually prepared in a nice ceramic square bowl. 

Overall I was impressed with the concept, they did a great job rejuvenating this location to what it really deserves and should be.

We wish them lots of success!
