Quellenhof

Quellenhof is a restaurant serving Swiss and Austrian cuisine in Rapperswil’s old town, close to Lake Zurich. Its style is rooted in straightforward, traditional cooking, with dishes prepared from fresh ingredients and a focus on careful kitchen work rather than elaborate presentation. The setting suits relaxed lunches, evening meals and private occasions.

The kitchen makes a range of components in-house, including salad dressing, breading and desserts. Austrian classics such as Wiener schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn sit alongside Swiss-inspired fare, creating a menu that reflects the restaurant’s cross-border character. Preparation is treated as part of the experience, and some dishes require extra time in the kitchen.

Ingredient quality and provenance are central to the restaurant’s approach. Quellenhof works with partners from the region and Austria, combining local products with ingredients associated with Austrian cooking. This includes Austrian breadcrumbs for the schnitzel and a house wine produced in collaboration with an Austrian winemaker. The wine list is selected with the same attention to origin and character.

During warmer weather, the terrace provides outdoor seating in the old town. Indoor tables offer an alternative for meals throughout the year. The atmosphere is shaped by traditional hospitality and a dining style that works for couples, small parties, private meals and larger groups. Banquet arrangements and menu suggestions are also part of the restaurant’s offering.

Quellenhof is a suitable choice for diners looking for familiar Swiss and Austrian flavours, freshly prepared food and a meal with a distinctly traditional feel. It also appeals to guests who value house-made elements, regional connections and a wine selection chosen to complement the cuisine. The address places it within Rapperswil-Jona’s historic centre, making it a practical stop for a meal while exploring the town.
