Epsom lettuce with pickled mirabelle plums and hazelnuts in a vinaigrette. Gently smoked char with radishes, horseradish and herb oil. Quince ceviche with flamed kingfish and kohlrabi. What a smooth texture this kingfish pickled in vinegar and marinated in oil has! A pleasantly light-footed start to dinner: this is the new way to dine at the Herrliberg "Buech". A facelift is good manners on Zurich's Gold Coast from a certain age. The plastic surgeon at the "Buech": Andreas Caminada. He has done a great job. He dusted off the popular huts, gave the patina a worthy stage and refreshed the menu. The charm is back. As with the "Casa Caminada", Caminada proves that he is not only a master of fine dining. With Nicolas Schröder, who most recently worked at Zurich's "Igniv", he is once again giving a chef from his own ranks the chance to prove himself as head chef. Hostess Fabiola Reimund is supported in the background by Ines Triebenbacher, who is known as the "Igniv" hostess in Zurich: Top wine list, which includes everything from regional Pinot Noir to rare vintner's champagne, fair pricing. Pike-perch with sauerkraut, caramelized grapes and beurre blanc. Served with mashed potatoes and nut butter - a real treat. The caramelized apple with cinnamon waffle, apple butter ice cream and apple broth for dessert emphasizes once again: no fine dining, but creative compositions that you simply have to love. If you want to experience a dinner at the "Buech", you have to plan well - at the moment, almost every evening is fully booked over a month in advance!
