Dating back to the 16C, Löwen is a lovely traditional inn that has been run by Tanja and Franco Körperich since 2019. She provides friendly service at beautifully laid tables in the charming and elegant wood-panelled dining space on the first floor, and he is at the helm in the kitchen. When it comes to the surprise menu, the number of courses is left entirely up to you – vegetarian and vegan versions are also available if ordered in advance. This is cooking rooted in the classical tradition, complemented by modern and international influences. The dishes are meticulously prepared, bold in flavour yet refined, and the quality of the ingredients is exceptional. The beautifully aged, wonderfully tender saddle of roe buck from Ennetbürgen, accompanied by a richly flavoured gin jus and delicate pasta parcels filled with subtly Asian-spiced minced venison, is a perfect example. The chef-patron also makes a point of serving his creations himself. A three- or four-course set menu is served at lunchtime. In summer, you can dine al fresco in the pretty Steingarten on the opposite side of the street.
