Gärtli Tavolata at Restaurant Gurtners

Experience the Gurten garden through the culinary delights of the Gurtner family. The creative chefs are inspired by the fresh harvest from the garden and conjure up delicious dishes. These are served as a tavolata at Gurtner's kitchen table. Places for the Gärtli-Tavolata are limited to ten participants. Due to the harvest, the dishes are mainly vegetarian. However, the kitchen also has the freedom to serve dishes with meat. If you do not eat meat, please indicate this in the comments section when ordering your ticket.

The poetic garden tours are supported by The Culture Percentage of Migros Aare and Bioterra and carried out in collaboration with Bioterra.
