1. Mike, do you know if they allow dogs in the restaurant?
Well, it's one-tenth of a dog, really, she'd only be 11 weeks old. A black lab.
2. Is it the Movenpick several doors from The Body Shop (sorry, my geography is bad)?

What a brilliant idea ... and what a shame it's too far for me ! Hope it goes well.

I dont think it is a restaurant, just a wine shop so should be no problem. (but will check) I dont know the area either but here is a map PDF. http://www.moevenpick-wein.com/media...0580649440.pdf |

I can confirm that it is a restaurant indeed.
No clue about bringing dogs there though.

I think I have seen dogs in the cafe bit (there is a cafe at the front and restuarant at the back) but best double check with the Movenpick.

Moevenpick restaurant and Moevenpick wine cellar are not the same!
The restaurant is on Bahnhofstrasse (nearish Body Shop) and the wine cellar is on Baarerstrasse.
I'd say it's no problem to bring a dog to the wine cellar.

A reminder about the cheese and wine tasting this Saturday. I'll be bringing along plenty of top form Shropshire Blue, Lanark Blue (AKA the Kilt Lifter), 2 or 3 different Cheddars, Red Leicester, Cheshire, Wensleydale and some very special goats cheeses for sale on the day.
On the Stilton front, I still have a few Stiltons in pots and 3 or 4 Stilton top and bottoms, great for scooping out "in the traditional manner".
See you there!

I forgot to confirm that this is definitely the Mövenpick Weinkeller, not the restaurant and that dogs are very welcome. Urs has just told me that the ceiling height will in fact allow any animals up to a smallish elephant.
Map here in case you don't know the Weinkeller.  | | This user would like to thank grumpygrapefruit for this useful post: | |

The pup is growing fast but not that fast.
We have dog kindy in the late morning and then some errands to run. Will have to play it by ear. Thanks, Mike.

That was a great day, and nice to meet some new faces from here. It must be said that the regular Swiss customers were rather surprised to be offered tastings of British cheese but they certainly seemed to enjoy them.
And it looks like we will be doing this again at other branches around Switzerland as I met the CEO on the day and he definitely approved!

Good to meet in Zug, and taste your wares, the Stilton is the best I've ever tasted, a the Stinking Bishop was lovely. I even ventured to your shop yesterday and am looking forward to my bacon sausages and Christmas pud'.
