Gasthof zum Ochsen

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Switzerland not only during the game season (a very special occasion not to miss in September October in autumn but throughout the year. The restaurant uses many local products (vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, cheese etc. , respectes the hard work of local farmers as wells as different seasons. All meals are very tasty and colorfully presented. A very strong point in the menu desserts with different local fruits. Most restaurants offer very standardized international dessert menu (almost similar in Australia, UK or France with very little fruits (always chocolate, chocolate, chocolate ….. . At this restaurant you'll find a surprisingly different and light menu. A special reference should be made about the wine list with many excellent Swiss wines. There is even a special section of red wines produced in the south of Russia (not far from Sochi by the Swiss family Burnier (Swiss quality and dedication rich and generous Black Sea soils . At this restaurant you'll have a very rare occasion to taste 2008 Krasnostop (autochthon Russian red grape which at the price of CHF 69 per bottle compares very favorably to many well known names in Tuscany or Bordeaux. The service is very attentive and prompt. Prices (in the upscale Salle à manger are reasonable. Once again, don't miss the game season at this restaurant! Book in advance in the evening as the room has only several tables.

Düdingen is nothing to write home about. However, it is home to Gasthof Zum Ochsen a traditional restaurant offering excellent food and great service. I sat in the upscale ‘’Salle à Manger’’ which boasts a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. A huge thumbs up to the lady owner and her team for the friendly and smiling service throughout the dinner. As I visited in September, the menu included many game and venison dishes. My dinner began with tasty homemade duck rillettes as amuse bouche. As starter I had the deer carpaccio served with truffles and gruyère: delicate and excellent portion. As main course I chose the deer filet mignon served with all the trimmings truly a highlight as it was very tender and came out as a generous portion! As sweet I indulged myself with a chestnut mousse served with cherry sorbet. On the downside Switzerland has always had a high price structure, and Ochsen is no exception. The bill amounted to CHF111 definitely not to everyone’s budget, but the excellent food and service are well worth it.

The restaurant was packed with lunchers when we arrived, but the owner immediately gave us a place in the gourmet restaurant where we could lunch the same dishes as in the brasserie. Very nice salad buffet, tastey simple lunch meals excellently prepared. We also enjoyed the free desert (every Friday) and a strong Expresso. All for a fair price. No wonder the place is always well visited.

I first went to this place in 2007 and I still have a good memory of this place. Now I went back end March 2022 and the restaurant has changed and is now specialized as Italian food. I had tagliatelle al funghi with red wine from Sicilia. I was nice and service was good. I still recommend it because it is very nice, pleasant, good with nice people.
