Where once there was the cheap clothes shop C&A, is the luxury restaurant in 1904, inspired by the car brand Lagonda. The owners are two Physicians and racing fans from the Eastern part of Switzerland. In the middle of the room, the prototype of an electric Aston Martin Lagonda is. Facilities also include a huge Lounge, a Smoking room and a walk-in wine closet. Very clean it is in here; you imagine yourself more in a Showroom than in a Gourmet temple.

About about why the Local In 1904, Designed by Lagonda name. The reason for the name, the founding year of the Lagonda (1901) is not; it is the 1904 bar lights, which are spread cascade evenly in the room.

The English really good foam to produce wine, this bottle – that Thomas Bissegger can do something, the first course. The Zander is accompanied by bacon foam, bacon Crumble, Riesling cabbage and a marinated, Asian Nasi bulb.
