Romantik Seehotel Sonne - Küsnacht

Lovely lakeside terrace. Very good service; the patron and his wife are very much in evidence. The food is first-rate: we enjoyed paillard of veal, Zürich strips of veal in creamy sauce with rösti, pike fish fillets, and our vegan friend was happy with her vegan burger. Fine local wines. Prices are high but this is the Gold Coast of Lake Zurich and the view makes it all worth it.

Restaurant Sonne has location directly on the lake. The garden self service restaurant is well organized, has a playground for children and the summer/holiday feeling. The food we had (flammkuchen and frisky planted chicken) was sadly too oily. The flammkuchen with tomato and mozzarella lacked tomatoes even according the taste of my 9 year old. The crispy planted chicken was fried and oily and my stomach wasn’t very happy about it afterwards. The best was the corn on the cob. Service friendliness could be improved.

The beer garden is in a beautiful location and the best on the gold coast. It is worthwhile visiting for this alone. Problem is and always has been the service. Having two people working in the beer garden is not acceptable. Waiting 15 minutes to order a drink whilst the bar person takes care of the ice cream stand is not acceptable. The other staff member is try to manage customers wanting to pay for their food/drinks. There are plenty of yound teenagers in Küsnacht that would happily serve the ice cream while the service staff attend the bar and the kasse. We live in Küsnacht and all our friends feel the same. There is no excuse, give your customers the service they are paying for!

My dad is a local in the area, and we were after some nice fish on the lake. He had not been here for years but we were not disappointed here for a recent Sunday lunch lovely bright room, with some view to the lake over the terasse (which is too cold at the moment! . Service was lovely, efficient and friendly. And the food was great. Mixed salad to start with, excellently dressed, but the star was the fried Eglifillet really nice batter encasing fresh white fillets, and accompanied by browned potatoes and a house made tartare sauce. The portion did not leave us wanting, but could not resist the Nesselrod after chestnut vermicelle with icecream, meringue cream. Even the mini portion was generous! Definitely on the list for my next visit to Zurich!

We enjoyed our lunch on the lakeside after a short but warm hike from downtown Zurich. The terrace provided just enough shade for us to cool down and enjoy the view. Our waitress was truly forthcoming, the food well prepared and tasty appropriate for the price. You could tell that the ingredients were fresh and of good quality. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you!
