Restaurant Waldheim (Hettenschwil)

History Today the Restaurant Waldheim, situated above the village of Hettenschwil, is managed by Rolf and Brigitte Vögele-Keller in the 6th generation.
They took over the management of the restaurant in 1999 from Johann and Margrit Vögele-Emmenegger, who had run the restaurant and farm since 1970.

From 1941-1970 Josef and Regine Emmenegger-Hägeli ran the restaurant and the farm. Before that, Johann and Berta Emmenegger-Schmid in the third generation and Johann and Anna Emmenegger-Haus in the second generation ran the restaurant and farm. The couple Fidel and Maria Emmengger-Merki built in 1860 farm, food and beverage restaurant.

From the beginning the farm was a farm with a restaurant. In the restaurant they sold mainly their own products, especially apple must. In the cellar there was a cider press and a cider barrel with a capacity of 2000 liters.

Until 1941 it was called "only restaurant", then Josef and Regine Emmenegger-Hägeli took over the restaurant from Josef's parents. They had the facade repainted and gave the restaurant the name "Waldheim".

**Food and drink Our menu changes three times a year.
In addition, it is supplemented each time by different specialties weeks. We attach great importance to the fact that our suppliers come mainly from the region. In our own slaughterhouse only animals from selected farms are slaughtered.

**A speciality is the Metzgete. From the end of September to the beginning of March we slaughter on 18 Wednesdays.

Over the Christmas and New Year's days we serve venison specialties. The animals come from the Hochwacht hunting area, which also includes the municipality of Leuggern.

In spring, after the first holidays our menu will be expanded with well-known and exotic chicken dishes.

On the summer menu you will find a wide selection of fitness plates. Various fresh salads with meat or fish.

As soon as the first potatoes are ripe, the Rösti weeks begin at the Waldheim. Different varieties of crispy and hearty Rösti expand the menu until the Metzgete begins.

In our wine list you will find exclusively Swiss wines. We are convinced that good local food goes hand in hand with good local wines.

We look forward to welcoming you soon with us.
