Hotel Restaurant Anker - Teufen

The meal am anker was the best trip! there was an amazing Avacado mouse, cappuccino soup and the best salmon I had in a long time! it is a must in this cozy village! the hotel is recently renovated and an amazing boutique hotel!

It was probably just a thermostat malfunctioning, but there was definitely an over-heating problem at Anker on the evening we dined there. Almost every diner was perspiring, despite having removed jackets or sweaters. Not quite dripping. But enough discomfort to reduce an otherwise rating...to only Apart from the heating malfunction, our experience mirrored that of other reviewers. Everything ambience, service, quality of ingredients, cooking skill and presentation was as near perfect as we could imagine. Delicious Venison Saltimbocca; a big, tasty Steak Tartare; good local beer and fine Rioja wine; plus a couple of bottles of water. A little expensive, perhaps, at Swiss Francs, but not outrageous in relation to the exceptional quality of this restaurant. We would have stayed to eat more. But the heat problem diminished our appetites as well as our enjoyment.

If you care for an authentic Appenzell ambience and delicious food, this is the place to go to. We had the most tender liver with Rosti, a superb salad, and a dream of a Ddessert. The service nicer than at any other place in Switzerland, helpful and efficient. The food simply delicious. We come again.

The Anker underwent a renovation a while ago but we hadn’t eaten there since. Thus it was a very pleasant surprise to sit in the clean, bright room and be tempted by so many local specialties that we didn’t know where to start. Ultimately we all decided on the fried liver pieces with hash browns, starting off with composed salads. Everything was very tasty.The restaurant has a clever dessert menu; in addition to the normal-sized portions, you can order mini-versions of different kinds of mousses, and individual pieces of chocolate. Perfect if you want just a bite of something sweet after your meal.Our servers were all very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to have us as guests. Parking is along the street in the blue zones.

Teufen is ideally located for relaxing walks in the unspoiled landscape of Appenzell.And Anker makes a perfect stop to enjoy a wonderful lunch.Thumbs-up for the excellent service: charming, efficient yet unobstrusive. It truly was Swiss hospitality at its best.The food was delicious.As starter I had the so-called "chicken trio" - as croquette, stuffed, and as pate. Delicate and tasty. As main course I chose a traditional Swiss dish: veal liver with thyme and onions, served with roesti. It was one of the best liver I have ever had. The dessert was lighter and refreshing: mini creme brulee with ananas sorbet.As elsewhere in Switzerland, the bill was on the pricey side - amounting to CHF90. However the delicious menu and lovely service are definitely wunderbar, therefore well worth a visit.
