Our Visit Experience at Gasthof Sternen Bümpliz

The traditional building of Gasthof Sternen Bümpliz exudes a venerable charm from the outside. Due to the wonderful weather, we chose a seat on the terrace. It is functionally designed. Since the inn is in a traffic-calmed zone, we enjoyed a quiet atmosphere without disturbing traffic noise.

The salad was a simple mixed leaf salad with a French dressing. The veal Zurich-style came in a generous portion with an appealing rösti. True to country inn style, the plate was decorated with canned fruit and cream. Although I was already full, I treated myself to meringues with two scoops of ice cream and lots of cream for dessert – a real delight for just over CHF 10.

The service was consistently friendly and genuine – you could feel the sincere effort.
The quiet terrace in the traffic-calmed zone invites relaxed lingering.

Improvement:

The interior is rather simple – those seeking an upscale atmosphere won't find it here.
The herb butter was a bit too generously applied, making the dish somewhat heavy.
