Gault&Millau's review 2025

The well-kept, bright Landgasthof zum Kranz is located in the middle of the vineyards in Nack near Lottstetten. And thus in Germany, but practically completely enclosed by the Swiss Confederation, which is of course noticeable to the audience - because what means a country house pleasure at high prices for German guests is a real schnapps for the Swiss. Main courses between forty and fifty euros are good standard there, in Germany, on the other hand, it is more proof of belonging to top gastronomy. Gerd Saremba, in the fifth generation at the stove in the Kranz, does not have to shy away from the comparison, however, if you mentally subtract the banal Caesar salad and the nut and chicory salad with curry dressing as a concession to culinary less demanding guests from the other side of the Rhine. On the other hand, the veal steak on morels and trumpets of death with spaetzli with a mighty creamy cognac mushroom sauce is very nice, and the trout from our own well in Mediterranean preparation with olive oil, garlic, dried tomatoes and artichokes is excellent. The small menu speaks for the always fresh preparation, and on the terrace between the vines you can enjoy their products, especially those of the neighboring Clauß winery, and Burgundian and Tuscan rarities also open in the Coravin system. Professional, cordial service.
