At least some of the charm of this place involves its emphasis on wine, rather than on beer, as is the case with many of its nearby competitors. Set under the medieval stone vaulting of a building in the Old Town, directly beside the river, it offers more than 140 vintages of wine -- many of them Swiss, French, or Italian, displayed on wooden racks above a cobble-covered floor. You can always select a bottle from the wine shop here, which will be uncorked in the restaurant and served without any supplemental fees, at prices less than you might expect. But if you want a broad-based exposure to as many wines as possible, consider several glasses of different vintages. Wine is king, but the kitchen also turns out plates of good food. Menu items include platters of either Italian antipasti or an assortment of Swiss cheese; shrimp marinated in olive oil; vitello tonnato, beefsteak tartare; and platters of air-dried alpine beef.
