High on the slopes just outside of Zürich, near the town of Männedorf, you'll find a quaint little…read morefamily-run restaurant, Restaurant Widenbad.
Perhaps you've had a long day of hiking or biking around the trails and need a rest? You can rest well here. The dining room feels homey; like you're having dinner at a friend's house. If it's not too windy, have a seat on the patio, taste some local wines (they're better than you think!). If wine isn't your thing, drink in the sweeping views of Lake Zürich (Zürichsee), listen to the sheep call to each other and breathe the clear, crisp Apline air. Or do all of it!
The menu is decidedly Swiss. Which is why you're here, right? The staff is very friendly and helpful - and can translate the menu if your Deutsch ist schlecht. The menu is a little confusing with lots of options, but the staff can talk you through and explain what's what.
I opted for a salad to start, then for my main I chose a schnitzel mit pilz and nudlen. The portions are large and the prices are fair.
If you find yourself in the area, you won't have a whole heap of choices nearby (center of Männedorf, or Stäffa have more options). But don't worry, here in the hills you can get a satisfying meal, at a good price and with a big smile.
