I'm not a fan of the hot stone thing; nevertheless it makes a change to the average restaurant visit. The dishes came with a lot of rice or potatoes but without any veggies. I had an appetizer salad and the horse as main course - both tasted great.

We fund the restaurant when we were doing some sightseeing in Ascona in the afternoon. So we…read moredecided to have dinner there. And ... it was a very good choice. We arrived around 7pm with no reservation - the restaurant was not to busy so we were seated at a nice table for two. It's fall so probably during high season reservations would be recommended. The interior is so beautiful and if it would be warmer - the patio for seating outside is almost like in a fairytale. Service staff is amazing- so friendly. The menu is small but a good selection of local food - and really special food. The wine list is ok, some good local wines. The first one we selected was unfortunately already out but we found a good alternative. I took the scallops carpaccio as a starter which tasted great. As main we did the "Branzino al sale" - a whole sea bass in a salt crust for two persons - it tasted unbelievable good. With the sea bass they served a selection of vegetables. To finish with we had the Capra cotta - a Pannacotta made out of goat cheese with some spicy berries giving it a great special taste. We had a very enjoyable dinner experience and would go back anytime.

Great food with a beautiful view!…read more Ascona is absolutely beautiful and this restaurant sits on one of the prettiest streets I've seen that overlooks the entire lake and mountains and it's a beautiful sight to see. During the day you can sit outside in the mornings or afternoons and share a cup of coffee or nice glass of wine and just enjoy the sun shining over the lake and the peace and tranquility and beauty of Switzerland from this great restaurant. At night the restaurant lights are dimmed low and the dinner is enjoyed by glow of candlelight. It makes for a wonderfully romantic evening. The wine list is pretty extensive and they also have a nice selection of Ticinese wines that you cannot find outside of Switzerland. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and our server was happy to go over the wine list with us and made some excellent recommendations for local wines to try. They have a pretty good extensive menu for food as well, they have everything from pizza to salads to pasta and grilled shrimp and everything is pretty affordable especially for being in Switzerland. One of the best dishes I had was the mushroom risotto it was very very good and full of flavor. It was also nice that you could order the smaller or larger portion size which is always a great option for groups who like to share and try several plates. I highly recommend trying some of their deserts they are all very good as well. They had some deserts on the menu that I've never had anywhere else before and some I've never even heard of so we decided to try them since our server recommended them so highly and said they were some of the restaurants specialties and they were all very unique and very very good. Overall it's a great place, if you're in the area and looking for a nice place to enjoy the view and get some great food I highly recommend checking this place out morning or night you will not be disappointed!
