This version comes from the Auberge de L'Onde in the wine village of St. Saphorin, where the dish is served with rösti potatoes.
Veal Sauté Zurichoise

METHOD Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a small bag, add the veal and shake to coat. Shake off any excess. Heat the oil in a large skillet.

Add the mushrooms and shallots; cook/stir/soften 5 min over moderate heat. Add the wine and simmer briefly until almost evaporated. Add the cream; simmer/slightly reduced 5 min. Return the veal; bring to a simmer. Add lemon juice, s/p. Serve.
So Swiss. You almost can’t get a bad meal in a traditional Swiss restaurant. I married a Swiss chef and he could make this kind of plate in his sleep.
Rosti! Oh, rosti. The best, most delicate, hash browned potatoes in the WORLD.
