I chose to dine at Eigenhof thanks to the positive reviews here, and as it is one of the few restaurants that are open Sundays. It is conveniently located a mere 10-minute-walk from Weinfelden train station.On the positive side, the old traditional house is superb, with the dining room being cozy and very gemütlich. Despite her young age the chef really knows her job, as the dinner was delicious. The menu is short and focuses on traditional Swiss dishes.As starter I chose lamb's lettuce with bacon and egg. Good and simple - generous portion, the bacon bits were crispy without being greasy. The dressing was not already on the salad, but presented on the side - a very good idea.As main course I chose one of the house specialties: Veal schnitzel in a mushroom sauce. Delicious, the escalopes were very tender. The service team offered a second helping of spätzli and vegetables - much appreciated.Eventually I indulged in a traditional dessert: Coupe Nesselrode i.e chestnut paste (one of the best I have ever tasted,) meringues, vanilla ice cream. Tasty and generous portion.On the negative side, I had the distinct feeling that regular guests got a warm and attentive service, while newcomers (including myself) received a polite but not overly friendly service. Slightly disappointing, as I felt a little neglected.Despite the central location in Weinfelden the bill remains moderate (for Swiss standards:) CHF75 for the whole dinner with wine and coffee
