"I was looking for a typical restaurant in the area, I found this place and I went in, Monday is not easy to find open places. . Traditional Stübe, guest room and lounge for walkers. I order a soup and a vegetable dish thinking about the dinner that was waiting for me that night. First they bring me a salad, (unordered) that I refuse, then comes the soup and finally the vegetables, part boiled to the steam, part roasted and the fried eggplants to be afraid. I order a peat beer and bring me a clear one, order the bill and coffee and bring me the dessert I didn't order. It can happen, kind staff."

"It's hard to imagine many people will end up in Lagnau, Switzerland by accident, but Restaurant zum goldenen Löwen (The Golden Lion Restaurant) makes it worth the trip. It's not too far from Bern and is directly across the tracks from the Lagnau train station, so getting there is easy (we spent the night in Lagnau, however, so be sure to check post dinner train times). While it is not tacky, per se, the decor and lighting leave a bit to be desired, and the bill will definitely punch you in the wallet (particularly my American wallet), but that's where the cons end. From the moment you walk in the door the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We had a reservation and our table was ready when we walked in (one can't say enough about Swiss precision). We were offered an aperitif; those arrived swiftly and were accompanied by an amuse bouche, compliments of the chef. This was a ham terrine with peppers. Tasty, but not mind blowing. What was mind blowing, however, was the soup I started with a cream of chestnut/walnut wild mushroom. It was not especially creamy (which I thought was great, as it was not too heavy) but each flavor was fresh and distinct. I think the chestnuts had been pureed, while the walnuts and mushrooms were left coarsely chopped to give the soup a bite. There was just the right undertone of onion and stock (vegetable or chicken). Fantastic. Andreea had the filet mignon, which had been marinated to perfection and was cooked precisely as ordered a true medium rare. It was paired with a red wine sauce that came on the side so it was not left swimming. Herbed potatoes and steamed vegetables on the side were good but nothing too special had been done to them. Basic. No problem. I had the roasted medallion of venison stuffed with foie gras which was also done to a turn and, in a word (an overused word, but, in this case, accurate) sublime. It too had a sauce on the side a port wine reduction that complimented the flavor of the meat without overpowering it. It came with different vegetables, lightly roasted, but left al dente (which was just the way I like them) and a rolled pumpkin spongecake (not sweet) that added to the autumn flavor of a game dish. Overall, exquisite. Dessert. A got a combination platter of three or four small desserts (all good, but, with the exception of a fruit tart, hard to describe I don't know if they were regional favorites or the chef's creation). I, on the other hand, had a mountain on my plate. Lagnau is in the heart of the Emmental district which is known for two things, cheese and meringues. That the area also has great cream products is a given it's Switzerland, after all. I ordered the meringue with fresh cream, ice cream and fruit. There's not much to say beyond the fact that it looked and tasted just as one might expect. Perfect on both counts. We had eaten our fill, so we did not partake, but the cheese tray was brought out for the table next to us and I've never seen anything like it. About twenty different cheeses brought out on a four foot cheese board, presumably all Swiss but I can't be sure because I don't speak German, so I didn't understand the description of them. Two other things to mention. Our waitress was a twenty year old apprentice (like many places in Europe, waitstaff is a career rather than just a gig to get you to the next stop in life as it tends to be in the States) who clearly took her job seriously and did it well. She was just friendly enough without being fake. Perfectly attentive without hovering. Willing to talk if we felt like it, but not otherwise. In other words, just right. The other thing is something I appreciated but have never seen elsewhere. I was ordering wine by the glass. When she brought a whole, unopened bottle for me to check it I clarified that I was not ordering a whole bottle. She said that whenever someone orders by the glass they open a fresh bottle and the customer is free to have one glass, two glasses, the whole bottle whatever he or she wants. This was a great touch as it guarantees you are not going to be drinking a glass from a bottle opened last week. Bottom line. A memorable meal worth traveling for if you are in the area. Let me rephrase that. A memorable meal you should not miss if you are in the area."

"on our bike tour on the five rivers cycle path, which leads directly through kallmünz, we have eaten here with a group of twelve people (table was reserved in advance. the dining room in a historic building is professionally renovated with exposed dark beams and small windows. the angled location is decorated with old black and white photos, an old pendulum clock and other historical objects, but this does not seem overloaded before location. the deko is stylish and tastefully selected with many beautiful angles. the tabs from earlier. Unfortunately, the old chairs that look beautiful are very unpleasant, as the sitting corner is too short. on the bank on the wall is therefore more convenient. the food card is handwritten and uses own or older conceptual as before, net and conspiracy. there was an amuse gaule (wild boar sausage on acid spice, for the vegetarian a goat cheese filled in crumbs and oil. I had instead to eat two, a soup soup and a leberpastal and as a residement porl all tasted excellent. the main as table-spitz, maisch-like, bark fillet and lamb also tasted the other, but the portions were dimensioned so that they should order a menu if they are hungry or the usual Bavarian portions are used. I was incl. a blunt choir (from homemade puppensirup very refreshing! for a total of 24 euro. the total amount is 13 25 euro. the quality of the food as well as the optics of the local is at a high level, which is exceptional at such a small location. the service is very polite and can explain all the dishes needed in some Bavarian specialties. who comes here with a large star and medium-sized purse will not be satisfied after home, but a gourmet comes here full of its costs in the upscale kitchen. In the Michael guide, which is at the exit, this is listed locally with a star. I liked the view into the kitchen where they come by and out. with nice weather they can sit in the courtyard in the open. the next door is an old schieune. probably that was a farm. in the house there are rooms in which a part of our group was accommodated."

"Die Szenerie:Auf dem Vorplatz des Da Luca tummelten sich die Kanalratten, ein stämmiger Italiener mit Halbglatze bemühte sich vergebens, die Ratten mit einem Besen zu erdrückenEr gewährte mir bei der Begrüssung einen tiefen Einblick in seine äusserst üppigen Brusthaaren, die ihm – ölig glänzend – aus dem Jackett quollen. Alsbald trat ich durch die Pforte ein über der ein heruntergekommenes Leuchtschild unheilbringend blinkte. Alles in allem wirkte die Lokalität bedrückend. Beim Eintreten schlug mir ein penetranter Gestank nach altem Leder und Kerzenwachs entgegen. Am runden Tisch im Eck' sassen Finstermänner und italienische Fettwänste, die sich des Biers labten.Mir graut vor diesem Orte! Der Kellner enthob mit doppelt gekelchten Händen die Pizza der Schachtel und platzierte sie auf der Tischplatte- Teller gab es keine. Danach forderte er mich auf, die Pizza mit dem Mund zu laben. Als ich dieser Forderung nicht geneigt war nachzukommen, beleidigte er mich aufs Übelste! Die Pizza schmeckte scheusslich, die Kapern haben meinen Rachen entzündet!Seid verdammt!"

"Wir besuchten die Heimatstadt unserer Vorfahren und stolperten mittags über dieses schöne Restaurant. Unser charmanter Kellner war wunderbar er half uns durch die Speisekarte (die auf Schweizerdeutsch geschrieben wurde) und steuerte uns zu etwas leckeres Essen. Wir hatten die Suppe des Tages (cremiger Lauch), Mahlzeit des Tages (hausgemachte Fleisch Lasagne), und dann eine kalte Spargelsuppe mit Knoblauchbrot und einen Fleischsalat (mit einer sehr großzügigen Portion Fleisch). Alle waren fantastisch, in einer schönen traditionellen Umgebung."
