The story

Eder's Eichmühle Wädenswil: Award-Winning French Dining by Lake Zurich

The family behind the kitchen

Jürgen and Oli Eders guide a two-generation family operation at Eder's Eichmühle in Wädenswil, supported by Doris and Debi. The kitchen embraces a light French style driven by persistent curiosity and a focus on premium ingredients. Sourcing prioritizes regional partners to maintain fair production values. This dedication to quality has secured a 16-point rating from Gault&Millau.

Seasonal plates and global touches

Starters introduce sharp contrasts, beginning with sashimi and tuna tataki alongside octopus carpaccio balanced with mixed pickles. Hearty options like a house-made Pastetli highlight veal sweetbreads and porcini, while game from the Puschlav region includes summer lamb with Frisettes-Spätzli and stuffed morels. This French kitchen balances classical techniques with subtle international influences drawn from global ingredient choices.

Biedermeier architecture and garden setting

The restaurant occupies a historic Biedermeier property set within lush grounds. Summer dining takes place beneath towering chestnut trees in the expansive garden. A modern glass annex provides a sleek counterpoint to the traditional guest room inside. Large windows frame sweeping vistas that reach from the Glarner Alps down to the Goldküste.
