It smelled so wonderful in the front foyer that I went back outside to get my wife to bring her in. We decided to see what the restaurant was like, maybe get a snack this place had not come up in our research of Rigi restaurants previously. We were seated right at the window, with a beautiful view. And then we were treated to one of the most incredible meals we've ever had. The chef himself, Benjamin Just, came out to greet us and see if we had any questions. We explained that we weren't even expecting to eat, but that we were excited to try new things, and told him that were happy to turn him loose to bring us whatever he thought would be exciting and fun to try. We tried different breads and cheeses, a dish with poached egg, Hollandaise sauce and asparagus, another dish with a smoked vennison in a creamy garlic basil sauce with freshly chopped Russian taragon, and a dessert with Swiss strudel and cream and sorbet and about 200 different flavors that just exploded in our mouths. And he also brought out small soup samplers, so we could try different flavors and textures. It wasn't just good it was as good as any meal I've ever had, in any country. Even the wine was fantastic their recommendations perfectly complimented each dish. Everything was wonderful the food, the wine, the attention from Chef Just, even the waiter who took care of us as if we were the only table he'd have all day (we weren't). We give this restaurant our highest recommendation if you're going up Rigi, and want to enjoy beautiful views and superb food in a lovely and quaint dining room, this is a don't miss it place. And to think we almost walked right by it...

The selection of the dishes was very limited, especially because they presented us only one of the two menu cards on the first evening. The food was good, the portions very small and the prices very high. For me it was not worth the price considering the whole package with ambiance, service and presentation. For this price range I would expect more hospitality.

This restaurant is in an amazing location in the Swiss alps. We had the set menu 49 francs pp, the meal was ok but I would say it’s was anything outstanding. read more This restaurant is in an amazing location in the Swiss alps.

The service was good and the waiter very helpful in translating and explaining the menu. The veal and rosti was excellent. The salad portions are small but good. Lastly, this is Switzerland, so nothing is cheap!
