Torkel

Opposite the train station and close to the lake shore, you can order a four-course menu, fine Lake Constance fish, or venison ragout with spätzle. For an overnight stay, there’s the hotel with its lovely rooms and small spa area.

Rather than attempting to carve out a niche with vegetarian dishes, Ivo Berger remains faithful to his core competency: meat and fish cuisine. He already showcased his culinary skill with an amuse-bouche of venison fillet with cream-leek sauce and bacon-wrapped dates, and the lightly cured, lukewarm Swedish reindeer meat with celery and bergamot was an outstanding starter. The main course delivered a flawlessly cooked Canadian bison steak, prepared precisely by eye. The fish offerings also impressed, featuring robustly grilled turbot fillets resting on a thickened lobster bisque atop an artichoke base. The classic dishes on the menu remain a solid choice: such as the freshly tossed salad, or the rich yet elegant Pommery mustard soup served with a scallop and carrot vinaigrette. Finally, the dessert menu features perennial hits alongside occasional discoveries. Take, for instance, the legendary "Rolf's Iced Coffee" or the lukewarm baked apple slices served with vanilla ice cream and pineapple. Meals are typically enjoyed in the winter garden, overlooking the "Herawingert" vineyard, which, like the "Torkel," belongs to the Princely House of Liechtenstein. It only makes sense to order a bottle from the princely court winery. Alternatively, guests can peruse the extensive wine list for another premium cru.
