The Landhaus Knusperhäuschen restaurant in the Altenstadt region in Oberau is a beautiful dining destination, surrounded by forests, meadows and fields. While tourists are attracted to the stunning natural bounty, a visit to the restaurant is also recommended for those who wish to try traditional German food with a contemporary stroke. Locally sourced produce, meats and fish go into the making of many of the delicious dishes and the staff members are wonderfully warm and friendly and are fluent in English.

The monthly changing menu could begin with a Swede soup with beef, or a starter of brown shrimps with herb crust, omelette and crispy potato slices. From the grill, you could choose pan fried duck breast glazed with cherry juice or a grilled filet steak. Other specialities include Zurich veal stroganoff and options for vegetarians and fish lovers are also interesting. Finally, bourbon vanilla ice cream with warm raspberry compote and whipped caramel cream is an indulgent way to finish.
