A charming retreat
Lercher's Restaurant is a feel-good spot – a place for sharing stories and enjoying cozy hours together. The region's longest wooden bar is your meeting point in the heart of our house, where guests have been gathering for generations.
In summer, our garden between the lime and maple trees invites you to linger, while the covered larch terrace offers a refreshing escape. Because feeling good is a given for us, we create spaces for enjoyment, conversations, and special moments.
