gtx,

As long as the chef is a genuine Schweizer, it doesn't matter where the restaurant is located. Besides, looking at an entire summer up in the lakes region, one needs a variety of menus.

What kind of kraut are you anyway? It's spelled "Ja, ja". Are you sure we're related?

Thumbs up for William Tell (Alton) as well. Sorry the cat died, but not sorry it won't be roaming around the restaurant any more. That was the only thing that bothered me about the place (although I never saw any mice running around)

. Other than that it gets my vote for one of the best in the area.

Here's a link to a previous discussion we had on this forum about the William Tell Inn with more information about the STAINED GLASS WINDOW . Everyone seems to give it two thumbs up!

I would like to thank everyone for your input on where there is a German restruant in the Lakes Region. I can hardly wait to try all of them at sometime during this summer. I have another question, can you get to William Tell by boat? And where in Alton is it located?

Thanks again.

Are you from Germany?

You can get to the location of the restaurant by boat, but it would be a severe walk up hill, and probably not conducive to a wonderful dining experience. Better by car.......

I believe the Rte. is 11.......going from Gilford stay on Rte 11 heading toward Alton. It's a really GERMAN looking place on your left.....

Try the speatzle I think that is the correct spelling.

Wonderful food.

Can't wait to be there myself.

I am not from Germany but my husband is. I used to love to visit the Green Barn on the borderline of Ma and Salem NH. I loved eating there the food was always so great until I quite smoking and they still allowed smoking in their restruant. The last time I ate there (at least 10 years ago) it was so smoky I could not eat my meal and left so fast I left my meal behind. I was not a happy camper since I liked the food so much. Have not been back since.

I don't remember that restaurant on the border, but what a shame you could no longer enjoy it.

I think 2 restaurants we will have to make a point of getting to this year are William Tell and Canoe, for Mee-n-Mac's Ahi Tuna.

Are you still not smoking?

It's in west Alton on Rt11 though w/o knowing where you're coming from it's hard to tell you the best route. You might want to call them ... have a look at the mcdude's site for some more info ....

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3nm2c/r...enus/id18.html

as well as their own website ....

And no it's not on the water (at this very moment though if it rains anymore ...) so you'll have to drive. It's on rt11, about 1 mile north of the intersection with 11A and 2 miles south of Ellacoya.

EDIT : corrected directions above
