When I asked if it was possible to get two coffees, he only said that they only opened at 11:00 a.m., so there was no coffee yet. Well.....whether we will recommend this restaurant to others..???? Hardly likely. Service: 1

Leider schien der Chef genervt vom vielen Umtrieb in seinem Haus und war etwas schroff. Dennoch besuchen wir das Lokal gerne wieder.

The menu is extensive offer the day menu (2 courses) for around SFr20 (May 2014).Sitting outside was easy as there is plenty of shade. The place was quite busy given that there was only one coach visiting the Kloster. I imagine in summer and on Feast Days it could be very difficult to get a table.The food was well presented and well cooked. We each chose differently and all dishes were enjoyed. The service is a little surly and brusque but then this is Switzerland. I'd happily eat there again.

We often go there when we're staying in Switzerland (part of every year my husband is Swiss). This place has many things going for it. The restaurant offers traditional Swiss food, and a good variety of it at prices that seem really reasonable for Switzerland. The waitresses are extremly friendly and attentive, and serivce is prompt. The restaurant consists of the main, fairly small section (about six tables), as well as a dining hall for the hotel guests. There are also seasonal dishes.In the summer, there's outdoor seating in the yard under large chestnut trees, and barbecue dinners are offered as well as a nice salad bar and of course ice cream. The public parking lot outside is not for free, but the restaurant has its own parking lot not really large beside the building. You need to drive to the very end of the parking lot past the last spaces, almsot onto the forecouirt of the monastery church, then turn right through wrought iron gates into the walled yard of the Post. (then large parking lot at the entrance of the village is also free and a mere five minutes' walk from the restaurant).This restaurant makes a fantastic stop before or after visits to several nearby attractions: first and foremost the monastery and its church, the walk up past the village and along the edge of the woods to the little chapel, or a slightly longer walk to the old castle of Rotberg, now a youth hostel or just a walk in the woods all around. If you just want the countryside and the restaurant, avoid Catholic holidays, as the place is then simply packed and there's no parking for your car left, nor a chair to sit on at the restaurant.
