My dining experience at Restaurant Traube

Historical atmosphere under the linden tree

Especially in summer, the seating area under the large linden tree in the garden of the Traube is a real highlight. You can feel the history of the building at every corner – inside the restaurant, you can even admire the old oven where baking used to take place. The atmosphere is warm, uncomplicated, and invites you to linger.

Flavor explosion: The original savory Gersau cheese tart and fine liver with Rösti

The star of the visit was undoubtedly the original savory Gersau cheese tart. Sonja Stadlbauer’s recommendation absolutely held up: the tart is a true flavor explosion. However, the menu offers even more high-quality classics. I also tried the calf’s liver with Rösti. The liver was tender, excellently seasoned, and combined with the crispy Rösti, it was a real treat for the palate.

My conclusion: Savory cheese tart culinary delight for pleasure hikers

A visit to the Traube is the perfect reward after a hike in the region. The combination of authentic Swiss cuisine, historical charm, and the warm nature of the hostess makes this restaurant a must-visit in Gersau.
