The Best Restaurants in Canton of Schaffhausen
If the amuse-bouche tastes so good that you want to eat a whole portion of it, that's a good start. This is what happened at the "Bergtrotte Osterfingen": a cube of Schaffhausen onion quiche, known in the region as Bölletünne, with crème fraîche and trout caviar. The restaurant in a historic trotte with a view of the vineyards was reopened in May with a new team following renovations. Head chef and co-managing director Adriano Pratsch last cooked Japanese cuisine in St. Gallen. He hardly lets his Far East experience show here, instead focusing on refined cuisine with regional ingredients. The garlic-infused gazpacho is topped with basil oil and crispy croutons. The flavors of the Swiss salmon tartare are more restrained - avocado ice cream and finely sliced green apple take precedence over the delicate fish. The hand-cut beef fillet tartare comes with plenty of mustard seeds and a little too much whipped butter. The braised pork cheek is more refined and goes perfectly with the creamy Riesling risotto with sage foam. Full marks for the salmon fillet. There is nothing wrong with the combination of crispy seared fillet with perfectly seasoned beurre blanc and buttery rosemary potatoes. The consistently local wine list offers a comprehensive discovery tour of Schaffhausen. The successful finale is a summery combination of strawberry ice cream, yoghurt, basil cream and white chocolate. So good that we could have done with more.
This robust villa on the Rhine offers the perfect setting for a gastronomic excursion. The kitchen team has Spanish roots and previously worked at Disfrutar in Barcelona. You can tell from the fine dishes: They are Mediterranean and often a little playful.
Modern cuisine with regional ingredients is celebrated in a small but fine restaurant in Schaffhausen's old town. Whether it's tender beef, trout ceviche or sour cream ice cream, it tastes great, the atmosphere is informal, the wine selection is local and the service is friendly.
At Bad Osterfingen, 550 years of living history merge with refined, home-made cuisine: from crispy wood-fired bread to spaetzli and display dishes. The wine cellar produces its own wines, served in the cellar, parlour or under old chestnut trees.
A visit to the Thai restaurant around the corner does not always bring the hoped-for relief from acute wanderlust. All too often, the industrially produced spring rolls are tough and the curries taste like standardized mush. Not so at the smart "Thai Isaan Restaurant" in Schaffhausen. In summer, you dine in a secluded courtyard and are served by extremely friendly and attentive staff. The open kitchen is a hive of activity, as all dishes are freshly prepared on site. You can taste this - for example in the starter platter with spring rolls, shrimp tempura and Som Tam papaya salad. Crunchy vegetables and crispy breadcrumbs, spicy peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce come together in this successful starter. The hot and sour salad is enriched with green beans, carrot strips and roasted peanuts, while the typical fish sauce remains pleasantly in the background. You should be careful when specifying the level of spiciness: the tom yam soup is a flavor bomb, but it really fires. The panaeng curry, served in a golden pan over a rechaud, is milder. It impresses with its subtle aromas and balanced spiciness. Like all dishes, the classic Pad Thai is beautifully presented: The authentically prepared noodle dish lies in a bamboo basket, with skillfully carved vegetables next to it. There is not only Thai beer to drink, but also a selection of Schaffhausen wine - a cool Pinot Noir rosé is perfect. The refreshing pineapple ice cream, which comes in a hollowed-out fruit in true style, will soothe any palates plagued by spiciness. Conclusion: an insider tip to remember.
