S'Aelpele - Lech

For the price, very bad. A cold coffee and a plate of "Knorr" rindsuppe is definetly not what i expected. Cozyness is supposed to be brought by a beautiful old...but cold furnace that is intended for drying clothes.

We hiked the Lechweg and stopped for some soup and a beer on the terrace: friendly service and good soup in a traditional setting. Not cheap but worth it.

This restaurant is a must go if just for the trip. You will be picked up from Lech and brought back by a snow truck. The trip is very exciting, especially for kids. The food is OK. You have to choose between Fondue and another menu before you arrive. The staff is friendly and service is good. Make reservations well in advance. Call direct if your hotel tells you it’s fully booked, which happened to us.

A 10min drive in the woods with a tank looking vehicle, upon arrival greeted with a warm glass of mulled wine is always a great start to your Saturday night dinner. Food and service also ticked the box. Overall a great experience - I would say a must for a ski trip in Lech.

Having booked a table well in advance and having had to choose our food a week before our visit we were expecting something special. First things first, if you ask to book the skidoo, bear in mind that they charge €14 for a return journey from Zug and also it's not actually a skidoo, more of a snow mobile.So, we arrived at the restaurant and were showed to our table...upstairs away from all other guests in a room utterly devoid of atmosphere. We created an atmosphere for ourselves but nonetheless was slightly odd. Our waiter arrived with our starters reasonably quickly which was a good start but about 10 minutes after we had finished and ordered some red wine our mains turned up. We sent them back as we had ordered the soup/consommé course. Our waiter insisted we were wrong but took them away only to return sheepishly with our soups about 20 minutes later with a mumbled apology that he would give us a schnapps each after our meal. The bland main courses followed as well as an equally dessert. Coffee and schnapps followed by the the bill which to our surprise contained the 4 schnapps we were being "treated to".On top of this the table next to us arrived half way through our meal and asked for a fondue. No problem other than when the waiter set it up it was set at a nuclear temperature which heated the oil to such an extent that the room and we stank of cooking fat.Really not impressed considering the cost.
