Timo Konietzkas Restaurant Ochsen, Bahnhofstrasse, Brunnen

Gemischter Salat

Poulet im Körbli

Some of the most predictable interviews in football are from Timo Konietzka. Almost every question is answered with an anecdote which shows his toughness. Together with his wife he’s running a restaurant in Brunnen in the canton of Schwyz. The Restaurant Ochsen is roughly a 5 minute walk from the train station towards the lake. The salad we had to start our meal was average at best, and what always ticks me off if it has tomatoes in the middle of winter. The place is famous for chicken, so we overlooked the salad. And the chicken was just the way it should have been. A half is served in a basket with a pickle and at the bottom some yellowish home made sauce is residing on a piece of meat packing paper. The sauce is delicious (might even have a bit of saffron in it) but will lead to an early grave, hollaindaise is a frothy and light vinaigrette in comparison. It’s great fun tucking in with your hands, the skin is greasy, the chicken moist and with a side of fries this is a meal any kid will love. Prices are cheap if comparing to the city of Zurich, probably average for Brunnen:
