Let's get one thing out of the way first: this is pure adulation. A visit to the "Rössli" in Feutersoey: a blessing from A to Z. Shortly before the high season, you can still find a free table here relatively spontaneously, after that it gets difficult. After a warm welcome from Sabine Köll, we head to the table. Dark wood dominates, a homely feel-good atmosphere. The hostess presents the specialties of the day so well that the decision is made to go for them. And a nut salad to start. This one deserves a special mention because the quality of the produce is noticeable throughout the evening: The small, compact, crunchy nut leaves cannot be compared with the average salad that is often served. Continue with the waxy egg, hidden under potato espuma and spinach. Topped with lots of white truffle. Simple yet elegant, wonderfully sloppy, no frills. It goes well with the Pinot Noir Auvernier 2020 from La Maison Carrée. Then the homemade langoustine ravioli with lobster sauce: the pastry is thin, but not too thin, the langoustine meat is supported by the sauce, but is also pleasantly nutty and savoury on its own. For the main course, the fillet of St. Pierre, French wild-caught fish, with sauce vierge. Strong, glazed, delicate. Served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Chef Simon Richard clearly pays attention to every vegetable, so that everything finishes up on the plate wonderfully cooked and yet with just the right bite. The same can be said of the dessert: apple tart with vanilla ice cream, heavy cream and beautifully tart apple sauce - the craftsmanship is spot on, the love for great ingredients is unmistakable.
