The story
Hotel Restaurant Krone Regensberg sits in Dielsdorf at a location steeped in history, with roots extending back to the early Middle Ages. The property invites visitors to experience Swiss fine dining where the architecture blends centuries-old charm with modern comfort. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality encapsulated by the motto coming home to friends, whether relaxing in the lounge or enjoying the panoramic views of the Alps from the terrace overlooking the Zürich Unterland.
Chef Michael Schuler leads the kitchen with a focus on harmonious compositions that blend regional sensibilities with international techniques. Recent menus showcase his ambition through dishes like kingfish paired with sea urchin and dill sour cream, alongside braised Jerusalem artichoke finished with passion fruit foam. He incorporates Swiss staples such as Belper Knolle and spinach topped with an onsen egg, while also venturing into bolder flavors like fried tuna coated in a peanut crust served with fermented carrot spaghetti. His creations aim for class and elegant presentation, earning recognition including a score of fifteen points from Gault&Millau.
The main course often centers on premium proteins, featuring excellent wagyu beef accompanied by fried artichoke hearts and a rich purée. The plate finishes with a shiitake jus garnished with chervil, balancing the richness of the meat. Other notable offerings include lobster sourced from the remote island of Tristan da Cunha, presented with green asparagus and morchel mushrooms marinated in lime. The beverage program complements the food with a Europe-centered wine list that includes select regional crus, reinforcing the restaurant's dedication to Swiss fine dining.
