"The decor is lovely and fun. The lyrics have a nice selection for brunch, the service was rather dour. Expect to be stared at: I'm guessing only people from the area visit and from their behavior, both the employees and the other guests, they would like to keep it that way. The price is adequate, still compared to some brunches offered in the city, a bit more expensive."

If you are in the Wohlen/Zurich vicinity, if you have the time to sample some first class fine dining in a country village setting, then please make the effort to visit this wonderful gem.The building was once a large cow shed, which has been tastefully kept as much in tact as possible with the original cow trough still,there aspart of the decor. There areas an abundance of pictures all depicting chickens which appears to be their speciality. White artisan paper mâché chickens are placed around the restaurant and bring a smile to your face.My husband and I both started with hot Celery and Lemon soup, which was delicious and served with a sample of their smoked trout, which tasted divine. My husband then upped for loin of venison with potatoes and a selection of green vegetables. I managed to secure a taster, and the venison was as soft as butter, just lovely. I opted for the scallops and garlic prawns in a seafood foam, served with an accompaniment of basmati rice, stunning to look at and delicious. Dessert was the perfect end to a perfect meal. My husband chose a warm chocolate fondant served with finely cut fresh mango slices and raspberry coulis. I had strawberries and raspberries in a coulis served with home made creme fraiche parfait with a rhubarb sorbet stripe. Our host paid for our meal, which clearly wasn't cheap, but having said that, we both agreed we would definitely dine there again on our next visit. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Barbara and Bernhardt Buhlmann who run this first class eaterie.
I had a fantastic dinner at the Gasthof Bären in Mägenwil about 10 years ago and I was really looking forward to finally repeating the experience. Alas, try as I might, the best rating I can give for that night's dinner is a solid "good". The mixed salad was very tasty but a little bit boring, consisting just of mixed greens. It was also TINY, a definite disappointment at a steep CHF 12.- for the plate of salad! :( I also had the Güggeli-Karussel (mit Pouletbrust, Spiessli, Schenkelsteakli, Flügeli und vier Saucen)... one of the trademark dishes of the house that four of us in our group of 8 had that night. It arrived at our table merely warm, not hot, and was also a disappointingly small serving (despite costing CHF 29.-). I was actually left hungry -- it really wasn't enough without a side dish to accompany it (which I had intended the salad to be, alas...). The overall menu is small, fairly selective -- and currently offers quite a lot of dishes involving one version of venison/wild game or another; hunted locally by folks at the restaurant. The four friends who had those kinds of seasonal dishes all said they were excellent.The service was very good; friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is wonderful too. Again, the food was good, just not great -- and considering the prices, I'd definitely have expected more. This was particularly surprising (and disappointing) to me because the restaurant, according to their website, has 15 Gault & Millau points.

A second visit to this restaurant proved that the food consistently delivers. This being chicken farming country, the chicken menu is highly recommended, but everything is tasty at a very reasonable price. Soups, salads and desserts certainly didn't disappoint on this visit. On the previous visit, quail and seafood dishes were both very flavoursome. The service was also very friendly. Be aware that no English menus are available.
