And the prices are not bad. When we are in are in the area we will probably go by again.

We were hosted by local residents, who provided us with a ride to the restaurant, and it felt like this place would be hard for a visitor to find. The taxi ride from Lucerne may be a bit pricy so this restaurant is really best for the good navigator with his own vehicle. But once you’re there, it is worth the trip. Originally built as a stable, the rich wood interior is warm and cosy. Guests over 6 feet tall (180 cm) need to watch their heads as the low ceiling has several beams that pose a bumping hazard. Service is wonderful with the attentive staff hovering nearby but not intruding. The menu offers a broad selection. Several in our party had the chateaubriand, which looked wonderful – and was a very large meal with generous meat portions as well as potatoes and vegetables. Two in our large group had the “filet trio” which came as three separate plates (paced as three courses) with different meats and matching sides. It was another abundant meal. I had the venison ragout which was quite flavorful and was accompanied by spatzel. Although mine was the smallest portion amongst our group, it was more than enough for me! Ask for a table by the window! (it was raining and cold when we were there but they have outdoor seating when weather permits)

Top service, great food and an excellent view on the large and very well maintained terrace over the lake of Baldegg and surrounding mountains made our stay unforgettable. Is this a helpful review?

The lovely rural setting of the restaurant is on a lake with mountains in the distance. The glass walls of the restaurant make for a perfect view. We had a variety of dishes that were above average in quality including a fennel salad, a black tiger shrimp dish.
