History
In the grand, 300-year-old "Krone" in the heart of Dietikon, you will find a bistro, a brasserie, a garden, and the wood-paneled "Taverne," where proprietor Heinz Schenkel serves a classic menu without major experiments, but with creative starters. To begin, we enjoyed a delicately seasoned, rich apple foam soup with pan-fried duck liver, and the Mediterranean-inspired mini lettuce with fried squid was also delicious. The main course was more traditional: tender beef fillet cubes in a rich red wine sauce, served with somewhat plain lemon mashed potatoes and seasonal market vegetables. A fitting conclusion to a solid meal was a Tarte Tatin with caramel ice cream. A skillfully curated wine list at fair prices, along with attentive and friendly service.
