Information

Description

Restaurant Löwen Hausen - tradition meets modernity since 1833

In the heart of idyllic Hausen am Albis, nestled between the cities of Zurich and Zug, stands a jewel of the Swiss gastronomy scene: Restaurant Löwen. Since 1833, this traditional establishment has embodied the essence of Swiss hospitality and culinary tradition while embracing the spirit of modern cuisine.

A historic building with history

The carefully restored historic building tells stories from almost two centuries of hospitality. The loving restoration has preserved the original character of the house while introducing a touch of contemporary elegance. Every room breathes history while offering modern comfort.

Culinary flights of fancy between tradition and innovation

The Löwen's cuisine masterfully combines the best of two worlds: traditional Swiss cuisine and modern interpretations of local classics. The kitchen team knows how to refine time-honored recipes with contemporary finesse without losing their original soul.

Signature dishes and specialties. The Zürigschnätzlets, one of the crown jewels of Zurich cuisine, is prepared here with particular care. The tender strips of veal in a creamy mushroom sauce are a poem in themselves and attract guests from all over the region. The Cordon Bleu variations demonstrate the creative range of the kitchen - each version a small masterpiece of crispy breading, juicy meat and cheese full of character.

A particular pride of the house are the Läberli with rösti - a specialty that makes the hearts of lovers of traditional Swiss cuisine beat faster. The homemade rösti, golden brown and crispy, forms the perfect foundation for the tenderly fried calf's liver.

Atmosphere and ambience

The Löwen impresses with its tasteful atmosphere, which harmoniously combines coziness and elegance. The various rooms offer the right setting for every occasion. In the historic wine cellar, a real gem of the house, exquisite wines are stored in centuries-old walls. The expert advice on wine selection makes every course an even more impressive taste experience.

The enchanting garden

A special highlight is the beautiful garden, which is transformed into an enchanting oasis of flowers in spring. Here, cultivated nature and gastronomic pleasure merge into a sensual overall experience. Under blossoming trees and surrounded by fragrant flowers, every meal becomes an unforgettable experience.

Ballroom for special moments

The magnificent ballroom with its high windows and sparkling chandeliers provides a majestic setting for weddings, family celebrations and business events. The large windows flood the room with natural light and offer a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape. The combination of historic architecture and contemporary furnishings creates a unique atmosphere for unforgettable moments.

Location and accessibility

Hausen am Albis, strategically located between Zurich and Zug, combines rural idyll with optimal accessibility. Despite its proximity to urban centers, the village has retained its original charm. Restaurant Löwen benefits from this special location - close enough to the city to be easily accessible, but far enough away to offer a break from hectic city life.

Gastronomic philosophy

Restaurant Löwen combines a love of Swiss cuisine with a flair for contemporary gastronomy. The use of high-quality, regional ingredients is just as much a matter of course as the handcrafted perfection of the preparation. The kitchen team knows how to interpret traditional dishes in such a way that they also delight modern palates without losing their authentic roots.

A place of encounter

Since it was founded in 1833, the Löwen has been more than just a restaurant - it is a meeting place where people come together to enjoy each other's company. The warm hospitality that has been practiced here for generations makes every visit a special experience.

The trained staff strike the perfect balance between attentive service and discreet restraint. Their in-depth knowledge of food and drink enables them to provide expert advice that caters to guests' individual preferences.

Seasonal offers and specialties

The Löwen's menu follows the natural rhythm of the seasons. In addition to the popular classics, there are always seasonal specialties that reflect the culinary diversity of the region. From autumnal game dishes to light summer creations - each season brings its own flavorful highlights.
