Suppenglück

Northeastern Switzerland


Doing what it says on the tin, this hole-in-the-wall cafe ladles out wholesome homemade soups – from spicy Thai-style numbers to goulash and cream of asparagus – best mopped up with wood-fired bread. It also does excellent salads, smoothies and organic lemonade. Specials change weekly.
