Berggasthaus Seealpsee, Alpstein, Appenzell

Gemischter Salat

Appenzeller Cordon bleu mit Spätzli

Taking the train to Wasserauen and marching about an hour (uphill, rather steep) you enter part of the Alpstein mountains. The Seealpsee is a small lake which has a couple of restaurants for hikers, bikers and other outdoor activists. The Berggasthaus Seealpsee oversees the lake and offers a simple, yet rustic cuisine. An ideal place to eat for a group of nine men. Starter was a mixed salad, no convenience food was, the salads were fresh and the sauces homemade. What more would you expect ? But the big surprise was the Cordon bleu with the spätzli. The Cordon bleu had a nice tang because it was Appenzeller cheese. Together with the tasty Spätzli this was a great dish – it really puts convenience gastronomy to shame, when a place up in the mountains can cook great fresh food, at a rather decent price for nine:
