Menu - Restaurant Stadthaus

FOOD & DRINKS
WELCOME TO THE OLD TOWN!
Even the first tourists here used the Stadthaus as the
starting point for their trips. For hundreds of years guests
from all over the world have come in and out of our
doors. This international effect is reflected in our menu.
However our starting point is the culinary heritage of
the Alps. Seasonal and regional products determine the
timetable of the Stadthaus kitchen.

LINKED WITH TRADITION
When creating our vegetarian dishes we
took advice from Hiltl, the first vegetarian
restaurant in the world:
they devised our vegi-menus. Hiltl is
almost as old as the Stadthaus, it opened
in Zürich in 1898.

Sausages for us are the ultimate - a good sausage

. . .SOME MORE FACTS: FAMOUS STADTHAUS VISITORS
The most famous guest in the Stadthaus Unterseen was the poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe. He stopped here on his first
Swiss trip in October 1779. At the time of the first Unspunnen festivals in 1805 and 1808 the Stadthaus had another
attraction: Elizabeth Grossmann, the «lovely boatwoman of Brienz», married the son of the Stadthaus innkeeper.
In August 1831 another prominent person came on the scene who soon became a regular: the composer Felix Mendelssohn.
The house was not only for tourists. During its long history it has also been a shop, held the assizes and a meeting place
for politicians.

STEDTLIBIER
is an all-natural beer with 5.1% alcohol. The house beer
stands out due to its mild hop aroma and lack of bitterness. The beer is a blonde colour, slightly golden-yellow.
The cloudiness shows that it has been artisan made
and not filtered. As soon as we have more space in the
Stadthaus, the Stedtlibier will be brewed in-house.
