The menu lives up to its promise - a culinary experience not to be missed.

Tip 2: Noodlehead

Continue on to Noodlehead, a street food-style restaurant that offers modern interpretations of classic noodle dishes from all over Asia. Whether ramen, pho or udon - everyone will find something to their taste here. The creative yet authentic cuisine makes Noodlehead a highlight on my list.

New Roots

Artisanal vegan cheese culture from Switzerland

What happens when traditional Swiss cheese-making meets plant-based fermentation? The result isn’t a substitute product, but an entirely new category. New Roots describes itself as a “vegan dairy” and produces artisanal, plant-based cheese alternatives in Oberdiessbach. Founded in 2016 in Thun, the company is one of the pioneers of European vegan cheese culture and now produces around 30,000 cheese products weekly. Particularly noteworthy: Production follows traditional ripening methods using fermentation, ripening cultures, and artisanal care rather than texturizing additives. For establishments looking to elevate their vegan offerings to fine-dining standards, it’s worth taking a closer look at the following products.

Blaufränkisch at its peak

Why Kerschbaum’s “X” 2015 Is a Rare Statement Against Opening Wine Too Early

Most great wines are opened too early. Michael Kerschbaum turns this principle on its head and, with the Blaufränkisch “X” 2015, brings a wine to market that is available precisely when it has reached its full potential. A rare statement in favor of patience, terroir, and the true greatness of Blaufränkisch.

With the Blaufränkisch “X” 2015, the Kerschbaum Winery is making a deliberate statement against the fast-paced nature of the wine world. Ten years of aging, uncompromising selection, and a clear vision: to make a Blaufränkisch available precisely when it has reached its full potential.
