Best Time to Visit
Late spring through early autumn (May to September) offers the best experience when the outdoor terrace is open and weather is pleasant for lakeside dining. Weekday lunchtimes are less crowded than weekends. Aim for late afternoon (around 3-4pm) to enjoy the peaceful post-lunch period with beautiful light on the water.
What to Know
Expect to spend around 25-40 CHF per adult and 12-18 CHF per child for a meal. Credit cards are widely accepted, but having some Swiss Francs is useful. The restaurant is accessible by stroller, and high chairs are available.
Seasonal Notes
The outdoor terrace is the main family draw and typically operates from April through October, weather permitting. Indoor seating is available year-round but offers less space for active children. Summer months (June to August) provide the best weather but also attract the most visitors.
