17. July 2010: Restaurant @Hotel Linde

The Hotel Linde is located in the little town of Heiden in the Canton Appenzell. It’s reachable by the Appenzeller Bahnen or by Postauto by public transportation. The restaurant in the hotel is two-folded. On one side there’s the regular restaurant where people are still allowed to smoke, but there is also a little private room made of wood which is just beautiful.

The waitresses are friendly and although they’ve had some issues in the beginning, they’ve managed to serve us with whatever necessary in reasonable time.

As a starter we’ve had a little mixed salad which tasted okay – nothing special but decent.

As a main dish, we’ve had first “Züri Gschnätzlets” with potato gratin and a tomato which tasted quite good. The Züri Gschnätzlets was quite good but there wasn’t really much meat on the plate – a little shortcomming.

As it wasn’t enough food for us, we’ve enjoyed a Cordon Bleu with Frenchfries after. The Cordon bleu was quite tasty but the French fries were somewhat stroppy.

The service got better and friendlier the longer the evening lasted which was nice on one hand but the waitresses are supposed to be equally friendly in the beginning when we got there too.

All in all, if you have the chance to get a table (if you organise an event for about 20 people or above) in the wooden room, you definitely should take it into consideration as the food is good, the service is friendly in general and also quite efficient – and finally, the atmosphere in the wooden room is really nice.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org. Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
