From 19:00 onwards you are free to join in for dinner! We have reserved a table at the Lebanese restaurant Chéz Sami where we will be provided with a menu: if you are vegetarian or vegan or have any other limitations on your diet that need to be provided for - please let us know beforehand. We deliberately chose a restaurant that is located close to the train station: http://chezsami.ch/ - so, if you can't make it for dinner, consider taking an apéro before your train leaves.
