zur Hirschen: Truth in advertising

Restaurant Hirschen has had several changes in chefs and management scheme, something like four times since we moved here about eight years ago. We really liked the first version in 2005, but didn't care much for the intermediate ones. Now, we like it again. A young local woman, Nadja Schuler, who trained as a chef has taken over with her sister and a couple of her friends and they do a good job. They've also made a lovely outdoor seating arrangement in front, unforunately they can't do much about the annoying motorcyclists without decent mufflers who zoom along Hauptstrasse.

I find the dishes a tad on the heavy side, so it's not a place we go to more than a couple of times a year. Not that we're not warned: check out the bugged-out eyes on the guy with the beer belly weighing himself. 

Hirschen's website can be accessed by clicking here. They still also have the couple of rooms for rent should you need a place to stay. 

Ms. Schuler has had some coverage in the gastronomy magazines (in German):
