Hummer & Austernbar
Located at the St. Gotthard Hotel is the gourmet Hummer & Austernbar. This lobster and oyster bar takes its inspiration from traditional French cuisine, but Chef Patrick Schmutz is not afraid of a little innovation and gives the restaurant’s French cuisine a Swiss twist. They were the first restaurant in Switzerland to serve oysters, which they source from France and serve the classic French way – raw and in the shell. The classic lobster bisque and lobster thermidor also originated in France and are staples of Hummer & Austernbar.
