Flyhof

Northeastern Switzerland


Sitting in mature gardens that slope picturesquely down to the lake, family-run Flyhof is a delight. Antique furniture and beams lend character to the quiet, comfy rooms. Regional ingredients are given a pinch of Mediterranean flavour in the wood-panelled restaurant (mains Sfr28 to Sfr56) in dishes like smoked trout with apple-celery salsa or braised lamb with chanterelles and apricots.
