Restaurant Alte Sonne, Obermeilen, Zurich

Gemischter Salat

Cordon bleu mit Röschti

The Restaurant Alte Sonne is well tucked away in a part of Meilen, which locals compare to the Bronx of New York. Obermeilen is an underdeveloped area which has not been subject to gentrification. Nevertheless, good memories of raucous festive activies in the private dining room on the first floor prevail. The mixed salad was homemade and decent, not sure what the tomatoes where doing on there at this time of the year. The cordon bleu was average, meeting the expectations. But the roeschti was exquisite, I even asked what it was cooked in, and apparently a special butter / oil combination was used. It had an interesting slight, sweetness to it and I’ve never had something like it. Now it wasn’t as good as at the Alpenblickbut it stood it’s own ground. I liked the bill – so old fashioned:
