A traditional swiss restaurant. Excellent for Sunday brunch as well as to enjoy swiss specialties. Recommended: rösti, kapuzeln, fondue, sausages. The restaurant has a beautiful view to the mountains and is surrounded by cows, nature and grass. It has a playground and is a very good place for kids to play outside

Restaurant Kittenmühle in Herrliberg was truly the best dining experience I’ve had so far. I ordered the beef filet, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Outside on the balkony I had a beer and it was like a holiday. The staff was very nice, attentive, and made me feel really welcome. It’s a place I’ll absolutely want to return to!

After a long hiking trip on Sunday we arrived at this restaurant. The owners is a lovely lady who welcomed us with a big smile. We ate a delicious, high quality Mövenpick ice-cream and chilled in the beautiful terrace. In the hike my foot been hurt with a cut and the owner of the restaurant took care of me, helping me with a first aid. Such a lovely and caring woman and a wonderful service. Thank you!
