Well, well, well. It has been at least 15 years ago since I've been at the L'Elephant. And even the…read moreowner has changed in the meanwhile it's still one of the best Thai places I know in Switzlerland. Don't be fooled by the weird entrance and the main dining hall that gives you the feeling to be in a basement at first. The ambiance and decoration makes up for it. And even more the food. The lunch menu is usually two choices and comes with a starter salad Thai style. My German co-workers thought it's too spicy and 25.- CHF too expensive (starter, menu, drink).

I was devastated to have to eat a sandwich and chips instead, but I guess this way, it was fine- I was home sooner in bed. The view was fantastic on the way there and from the hotel, you could see half of Switzerland, and see it very well! Open later in summer and Saturdays during winter time, I guess I`ll just have to come back again and make the 400m climb!
