"THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!!!! We knew we left the tourist area since this place does not have their menu translated to English but we had a wonderful waitress who tried her best to understand us. She was extremely patient and very kind with a lovely demeanor and a contagious laughter. We had a group of 8 and waited a reasonable amount of time for our food and when it came… man oh man. I had the house special which was beef cubes with a garic bitter, salad and fries and the meat was super tender and perfectly cooked. My parents had Chicken Cordon Bleu which was really good too. So I would 1,000% recommend this place as a must-eat"

"This was probably the best meal we had in all of Switzerland. The meat was juicy and tender and the price is just right. This is not really a tourist restaurant. Looks like mostly locals go here and it shows. The menu is in German and we needed Google translate to understand it. The waitress spoke little English but was friendly and took her time explaining some things on the menu. But would definitely recommend anyone to eat here. Would definitely come back."

"Just one word: great! We pre-ordered a Barbecue box with three kinds of meat, rosemary potatoes and two kinds of sauce. Meat was really tasteful, really evenly cooked, amazing seasoning and a perfect brown crust with lots of flavour. Also a great point for the environment is the packaging, almost no plastics, meat and potatoes packed in aluminium containers to keep it warm. Good job! We would order again!"

"Das Essen war sehr gut, aber als wir nach einem Supplement von Rösti fragten, bekamen wir den Rest (Rösti wurde in einer separaten Kachel pro Tisch serviert) von einem anderen Tisch. Das wirkte auf uns sehr befremd."
