The dishes, traditionally accompanied by regional wines and cheeses, reflect the culinary diversity of all the Swiss cantons.

Marinated lobster served with peccorino and cauliflower panna cotta for starters, followed by veal fillet with black truffle sauce for the main course.
The menu concludes with two desserts, including a blueberry cake with chocolate crumble and Appenzell beer ice cream, created by Silvia Manser of Restaurant Truube in Gais. PDO cheeses and award-winning Swiss wines complete the culinary offering.
