The story
Krone am See sits at the water’s edge in Altnau, just across the lake from Konstanz. The restaurant describes itself as a place for the highest standards, where cuisine honours its origins and embraces innovation. This is not a restaurant chasing trends; it is built on a philosophy of sustainability as conviction, not fashion. The kitchen’s craft combines creativity with a clear focus on quality, working primarily with regional products selected with care.
The atmosphere is one of timeless elegance paired with warm, precise service. The team, led by Simon Wyss, aims to create an experience that stays with you — excellent food in a setting that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. The dining room is complemented by a terrace where dogs are welcome, and the interior remains a space for guests to enjoy in peace.
Wine is a serious affair here. The cellar holds over 300 labels, ranging from characterful local vintners to prominent European names. It is a list that has earned recognition from Vinum, and it invites exploration by the glass or bottle alongside the seasonal menu.
The restaurant has been recognised by the Michelin guide, a testament to the consistency and ambition of the kitchen. This is a destination for those who appreciate cooking that is both rooted in its place and open to the wider world of flavour.
