Raphaël Gonthier from Maur has just successfully completed his apprenticeship as a chef at the restaurant Enja in Zürich. We’d like to showcase his creativity here at the Krone with a dinner menu he’s created himself.
On two evenings, he’ll be cooking with a deliberate focus on simplicity: rustic, home-style dishes, prepared with a deep love for the ingredients and a penchant for pairing them with good beer.
CHF 75 per person (excluding drinks)
(To make a reservation, select September 17th or 18th. Please also indicate how many people would like the vegetarian menu.)

An Italian-style feast with a Sicilian twist
We invite you to enjoy cosiness, culinary delights and good company at the Krone Forch. Giovanni will conjure up wonderful specialities from Italy and his southern Italian homeland for you. There’s a rich selection of meat and vegetarian options. Everyone helps themselves at the buffet and enjoys the evening together at our Tavolata. To go with it, we have a fitting selection of beer, wine and other drinks ready for you. All you need to bring is a good portion of time and appetite.

We love nature, wood and fire and we aim to brew authentically, with as little technical aid as possible.
All our beers are brewed on a fully analogue, woodfire powered Brewhouse installed in a Trailer.
Thanks to the traditional, simple brewing, every step towards the finished beer can be experienced.
the brewery
Just like in ancient times, we use fire as the only heat source for our Forchbeer. We use two antique, traditional washing ports. But instead of cleaning dirty laundry, they live a second life as brewhouse. This setup is unique in Switzerland.
On top of that we have installed the entire brewing setup into a mobile Trailer. This enables us to brew everywhere. The only requirements are a power and a water hookup. Let’s open the side hatch and get started.
