Gault Millau Auszeichnung

The culinary experience at Resort Hof Weissbad is defined by local sourcing, culinary craftsmanship, and the unmistakable signature style of Käthi Fässler. For nearly 30 years, our Innerrhoden-based head chef has been combining regional products, seasonal ingredients, and artisanal precision with warm hospitality.


Whether in the modern Flickflauder, the light-filled veranda, or the traditional Schotten-Sepp-Stube—each restaurant has its own character and invites you to enjoy special moments of indulgence.


A highlight is Käthi Fässler’s 6-course “Surprise” gourmet menu at Restaurant Flickflauder. Here, Swiss tradition and Appenzell roots are reinterpreted with creative touches. To round off the day, our bar offers a selection of wines, classic drinks, and an Appenzell Alpenbitter.
