The Restaurant Reithalle was my destination of choice for one simple reason, Christian Egger (former Tessinerkeller) is there cooking venison. I was pressed for time so I ordered a vegetarian plate (Which contains all the classic venison side orders) and a Papardelle with deer meat. I must say, while I still think vegetarians are missing something in their life and are trying to compensate deficits encountered in their childhood, the vegetarian venison option is great. A big plate of all the traditional side orders with mushrooms and homemade spaetzli is served. I really liked the rotkraut (red cabbage) it was one of the better ones I had eaten. The papardelle were nice as well and I liked the thrifty use of the deer meat. I didn’t come here because of the Reithalle, I came here because of Christian Egger and it was well worth it:
