Our meal was the best we had in Switzerland, and we were hosted by owner Simon Everett a Brit who clearly is an ace in the restaurant game. The venison Stroganoff dazzled my wife with its strong but controlled flavor and my Veal Shnitzel was what I dream of back home. Simon claimed nine vegetables would accompany the schnitzel but it turned out there were eleven! Incredible!! The chef, only known as "Rainman" due to an uncanny ability to know exactly what customers like surprised us post meal with some small home made treats. The Great Gasthaus Sonne, bravo!
