Since chef-patron Arno Sgier took over the reins in 1993, this restaurant in the little town of Trimbach has developed into a real culinary gem. Traube is a lovely place to be, with its chic and modern interior done out with premium furnishings, and its well-trained front-of-house team attending to your every need. Then there is Arno Sgier's technically ambitious cuisine. His classic yet really modern style is evident in, for example, the delicately acidic Lostallo salmon marinated in buttermilk and chive oil, served with textures of cucumber and quinoa crisps. The classics, too, are given a modern twist. Those who like a glass or two of good wine as part of a first-class meal are in for a treat, because the wine list really does have many treasures in store, especially in the bottles section. In the evening, you can choose between the "Traube" set menu and a set menu of starters; there is a three-course set menu at lunchtime.
