Morning all! My kindergartner has professed a desire to go somewhere new on the train and eat mac and cheese for lunch. Sounds kinda fun to me, but where to find mac and cheese? We’re based in Zurich so needs to be somewhere else in Switzerland that’s within a couple of hours train ride. Suggestions please!
Random general knowledge fact to reach the word limit: a barnacle’s penis can be up to 8 times its body length.
EDIT: It looks like u/Polieos might have hit the jackpot with Lou’s in Wiedikon. We’ll check it out if I can get a table. https://www.lous-restaurant.ch/

8 times? EIGHT?
Maybe kindo would be fond of „Käsespätzli“, basically the swiss version of mac and cheese 🙂 these are usually served in a lot of places, for example there‘s restaurants on Rigi, you can go there by train.
Head to Brisket near hardbrücke, they’ve got Mac n cheese
I’d go for some älpermacaroni instead. Easy to find
If you’re looking for “proper” M&C, do go to Brisket in Zürich as the other user said. Their food is good, but personally I’ve found service being rather disappointing.
The Swiss dish closest to mac & cheese would be Älplermagronen and is not uncommon at restaurants in the touristy areas, which happen to be a within a couple of hours by train :v
If the kid is **into trains**, I recommend going to Hinwil and taking the nostalgic steam train operated by dvzo.ch to Bauma in the Töss valley. I’m sure one of the classic restaurants there have Älplermagronen on the menu.
They operate every odd sunday in the month, including tomorrow. Check the website for the schedule and dates.
I don‘t know of any restaurants. But you could prepare it, put it in something fireproof and reheat it at a fireplace.
There are family fireplaces all over, so including a train ride would be easy. And if you include a sausage or two and grill them on a stick, it would be a very Swiss experience indeed.
I make my own if that helps you. All the ingredients are at coop. Then I’ll add broccoli and the pancetta. Yum!
It’s called Alpenmagroni (the food, not the penis)
