Albeli is one of Lake Zurich’s most distinctive delicacies. Unlike other salmonids such as whitefish and lake trout, it inhabits the deeper, colder waters of the lake. The lower temperatures slow its metabolism and growth, resulting in exceptionally firm flesh and a refined, delicate flavour.

Albeli is particularly well suited for roasting, pan-frying or slowly tempered. Served lightly translucent, it reveals its surprisingly tender texture and elegant character to perfection.

We source this regional specialty from our local Lake Zurich fisherman, Sämi Weidmann in Stäfa. His catch varies according to season and daily conditions, ensuring a truly authentic product.

Every fish is carefully deboned by hand in our kitchen.

and ever-evolving Wine & Dine (PDF) experience.
