You would hardly expect to find a Michelin-starred restaurant here. Not in Stansstad, and especially not in an apartment on the third floor of a block of flats. After the doorbell rings, we are let in and, once upstairs, welcomed by co-owner and host Agron Tunprenkaj. Christian Aebersold is already at the kitchen island preparing the amuse-bouches. The atmosphere is relaxed and we feel as if we are staying with friends all evening - friends who are particularly good at cooking. We start with a glass of Champagne, and canapés are quickly served to whet our appetites. The actual seven-course meal begins with a composition of zander, cucumber and herbs. Nice and fresh, well balanced, a good start. What follows is a colourful and delicious journey through top-quality European and Swiss products: morel with poultry farce and vin jaune, carabinero with peas and yuzu, Schwyz char with asparagus and saffron and succulent rabbit with bacon, carrot and parsley puree. The pre-dessert and cheese course are followed by a fine dessert of strawberry, verbena and vanilla. Everything comes to the table perfectly cooked, Aebersold has an excellent command of combining different flavours and textures. His cuisine is modern, technically excellent and never overwhelms the palate. Tunprenkaj, meanwhile, selects wines to match the dishes. Although he does not offer pairings in the classic sense, he always has a glass up his sleeve that complements the dish. There are also several bottles to discover in the wine cellar that will make wine lovers happy.
