Vegan Minestrone soup & Polenta with Saitan

They had only one vegan main and soup, but the polenta with seitan was very tasty. The atmosphere of the place was really nice (stone building) and service was very friendly.

Polenta with seitan

Had only one vegan main plus salad and soup, but the polenta with seitan was very tasty. The atmosphere of the place was really nice and had friendly service. Would definitely visit again if I'm back in the region even if they have only limited options.

Amazing place

The place is absolutely worth the visit. We ate inside at the fire place (we had a reservation, there isn’t much place inside). I took the vegan polenta with seitan and I absolutely recommend it. I normally don‘t like polenta but I thought this one was amazing !

Pros: Best polenta, Beautiful place, Very nice staff

Cons: Just one vegan dish (and a soup)

Tasty vegan option

They have one classical swiss southern dish (Polenta) and veganised it. It's really well made with seitan and a tasty sauce. The non-vegans in our group even liked this version of the traditional dish better than their meals.
Also the location is fantastic with a big outdoor seating facing a mountain side.

Delicious vegan Polenta

Polenta (like mash potatoes but made of corn) is a traditional dish in the Italian part of Switzerland. As far as we know, it usually contains cheese to make it creamy like risotto and is served with meat. At this cozy restaurant situated right above the Maggia river, you get a delicious and freshly prepared vegan polenta with seitan. If you’re looking for a typical regional dish as a vegan version, then don’t look any further and check this place out. Don’t forget to reserve your table in advance.

Pros: Friendly staff, Cozy, Good value for money
