Restaurant Lago, Horgen
Certain places evoke a vacation feeling before the first glass has even arrived at the table. The Lago in Horgen is one such place – with Italian cuisine, a lakeside location, and a terrace where a summer apéro can easily last longer.
A taste of Italy – by Lake Zurich
Lake Zurich can be many things: a destination for a day trip, a spot for a swim, or a backdrop for the sunset. On summer evenings before the Lago restaurant, however, it is one thing above all else: the perfect accompaniment to an Italian apéro. While the boats outside glide leisurely to the harbor in the distance, here, Mediterranean classics are served.
The Lago combines Italian hospitality with a location in Horgen that could hardly be more beautiful. It’s a great place for anyone yearning for the south – but without having to cross the Alps.
What do the guests order, what does the chef love?
The chef and guests share a love for fish and seafood, although in different ways. The chef’s favorite dish is the Linguine Cozze: mussels, shallots, garlic, white wine, tomatoes, parsley, and a dash of lemon come together to create a dish that tastes like the Italian coast.
The diners frequently opt for the whole grilled gilthead seabream. Served with fresh herbs, lemon, and salsa verde, it brings a little Mediterranean levity to Lake Zurich. And it’s a dish that proves that the vacation vibe can sometimes be just an apéro away.
