Restaurant Session (in Arlesheim, Switzerland): Gasthof zum Ochsen

In the evening, we had our dinner at the hotel's restaurant - Gasthof zum Ochsen. Having also their own butcher's shop, meat is their specialty.

 

A little appetizer before the starter.

 

I chose the tartar trilogy with a little salad and crostini. Veal tartar from milk veal with lemon zest and olive oil, minced pork tartar (from free-range pig) and tartar from free-range cows with shallots, cournichons and chives.

As main dish, cordon bleu 'Ochsen Style' from free-range pig, Jumis Schlossberger cheese and Swiss ham.

With Belgian fries and vegetables.

 

Dessert time!

 

To end our dinner, we all tried the cherry Schnaps from the region. The glass had a bull inside, reflecting the name of the restaurant :-)
