It is massive and can feed 3 to 4. 2) The toppings mix will be unusual to Americans, so we took basic margherita pizza and added salami and mushrooms. Salami just like pepperoni. I think there was maybe 3 people running the entire restaurant. Clearly they want you to enjoy your meal and they are in no rush to flip tables. In this town there are several tourist trap restaurants, but this is not one of them.

The city is full of tourists walking around and it's the only restaurant closed.

I've never been impressed with the food at an Irish pub--until now! My wife and I took our…read morepicky-eater teen niece there after skiing and she immediately found something she liked on the menu; the Mozzarella and Tomato sandwich! My wife ordered the same and I asked for the Roast Beef sandwich made with rare meat. Our consummately professional server assisted us in selecting our three- and five-deciliter flights from their vast array of beers on tap. Our orders arrived in just a few minutes and we were amazed at the quality of the food and attention to detail, such as the hearty, lightly toasted sandwich rolls and the perfectly-seasoned "Country" fries, which were wonderfully hot and creamy inside. My wife and niece simply couldn't stop raving about how great their entrees were, and I was equally enamored with my tender and juicy roast beef sandwich. Our image-conscious 17 year-old instagram-influencer niece was enthralled by the bar's warm, colorful atmosphere and we enjoyed it as well. BTW, the bathrooms are spotless, which is not exactly de rigueur in Irish pubs.

The spaghetti was quite flavorful, salad dressing good, the salad itself was as stated...just leafy greens period (but very fresh). Service was adequate. Our food arrived fast, but we did have to ask for butter and plates for the bread after it was dropped off prior to the entrees. Overall a pretty decent dinner.

Before I knew I was staying in an igloo... all I was told was:…read morea) "I booked a night for us up in the mountains... but we're not staying a hotel." b) "Make sure you bring all your WARMEST clothes... and a bikini." HUH? I was surprised with a trip to the Iglu-Dorf in Engelberg! Not knowing exactly what to expect was definitely part of the fun so I won't give it all away in my review, but here are some HIGHLIGHTS: 1) Friendly, knowledgable, helpful guides that are fluent in English and German. 2) HUGE igloo. It's much bigger than it looks from the outside complete with a bar and dining room! 3) Beautifully decorated inside with detailed ice sculptures in every room. Every year the sculptures focus around a different theme; this year's theme was "Comics & Cartoons." Characters from The Lion King, South Park, Snoopy, and many others were all carved in ice. We had the Batman room! 4) Delicious dinner with charcuterie & cheese, mushroom soup, fondue, and prosecco! For dessert we had chocolate cupcakes and coffee gelato! They definitely feed you well. It's very rich and FILLING, but much needed to survive the night. 5) Lovely guided moonlit night-hike around the Lake at Engelberg. They provide the snow shoes and trekking poles (as well as a little nip of Jägermeister half way through!) 6) There is a jacuzzi/hot tub IN the igloo! (So that's what I needed the bikini for...) Take full advantage of this-- it's SO nice after the hour hike in the snow, and it'll really warm you up before you go to bed. 7) TOASTY sleeping bags! Arctic-rated sleeping bags are no joke, and staying the night in the igloo much warmer than I would have ever expected... I would totally recommend it to anyone who's looking for a new experience! It's an exceptional and truly memorable once in a lifetime adventure!

Sleep in an igloo A…read morenight at the Iglu Dorf is definitely a cool experience. There are a few places in Switzerland where they offer the night in the igloo. The one in Engelberg/Trübsee is with 1800m probably one of the lowest places, but with the Titlis mountain right beside it makes a fantastic two day trip and we had plenty of snow. After a small walk the dinner is served, Gerber fondue. I had better, but I didn't expect too much in an igloo. It is the experience that counts. At the bar various drinks can be bought. I don't recommend booking the special candle light dinner, as it is simply just means that you get a table for two alone and a bottle of white wine. Our group was an internationally mix of nice people. Hence mingling is no problem. The guides are very friendly and help to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The igloos are decorated with a different theme each year. I was a bit disappointed that there were no ice scupltures and not a classical ice bar. Maybe they change that next year. A cool thing is the Jacuzzi where you can have a hot bath and see the stars above you, as the igloo is open on the top at the hot tub. There is a heated room where you can get changed, so definitely bring your swimming clothes! The personal igloo room is nicely decorated and illuminated with LEDs. The bed is lined with fur and has a special sleeping bag. With a normal pyjama you will heat up the air and not freeze. The igloo is constant at around 0 degree, and I definitely did not feel cold during the night. We had a room with it's own WC. Else you may have to walk 40m to get to the public toilette during the night ;-) The breakfast is served early in the morning at the Alpstübli restaurant, which is a 10min walk from the igloo. All in all a very special experience, I definitely would do it again.

After a long day hiking with 22K steps and approx 31 flights of stairs, I was ready for a hearty…read moredinner and cold beer. I arrived when most tables were full and yet was quickly seated within 10 minutes. The servers were all super friendly and as I knew already what I wanted to eat, it was choosing my beer flight from Hüsi brewery that was "hard." I ordered a flight with the Helles, Hefeweizen, Strawberry Cider (sadly they were all tapped out it's so popular, so I went with traditional hard cider) and the Double IPA. I love beer. Especially when it's served super cold on a hot and humid day with exercise. There wasn't a beer (or cider) in this bunch that I did not LOVE. Mind you, if I wasn't so tired and a lightweight, I would have tried more of the offerings on the menu. The Helles was so light, clean and crisp-as it should be. The Hefeweizen had all the right aromas and flavors. The Cider was very good: not too dry, but definitely not sweet. The double IPA was also excellent. I am not a huge fan of IPAs (often taste like the pith of a grapefruit to me due to the Hops), but I do like doubles and triples and this one hit the spot, with a gentle citrusy taste and crisp mouthfeel. While I waited for my ribs, I saw a couple near me got the Schweinhaxe, aka Pork Knuckle. Mind you, this is one of my favorite Bavarian Dishes that I can also get in Rhineland and it never disappoints. The one I saw served (and took a photo of), was the LARGEST I have ever seen. The skin looked perfectly brown and crisped and the meat was fork tender (from my observation). The German man seated between the couple and me, said it was the largest he'd ever seen as well. It looked amazing and the couple offered me a taste, but I politely declined-I knew I had a large meal ahead of me. I joked that it must have been some large pig to have had a knuckle that large. My ribs came and they were piping hot (no complaint). The sauce was excellent, as it was tomato forward and not sweet with a hint of spice. The ribs themselves were PERFECTLY cooked. I know someone else who reviewed said theirs were tough (I ordered them anyway) and they were so tender and moist that they literally fell off the bones. The coleslaw was vinegar based (THANK YOU) and refreshing. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. If you can't tell by now, I loved everything about this meal. It was also clear I was starving because I inhaled the entire plate of ribs and downed the beers in about 20 minutes. Not very European style of eating, but hunger took precedence. The music was fantastic: a lot of 90s grunge and also some U2, a few other cool bands that ahem, you know, was from my youth. The servers hustle and do a thorough job of being both friendly and helpful. One stopped to have a quick chat with a couple and their cute dog. Two came by to see if my meal was okay. I watched them rush around with food, drinks, and also two different servers cleaned a table after a couple left (the one cleared and cleaned while the other cleaned it again even though it was bare)-so there's no hygiene issues here. I was surprised to see the place cleared out by around 19:15-I expected it to be slammed all night. It was a Monday though and I'm sure the late night crowd was still napping. I would have loved to sit and drink another one of the amazing beer offerings, but as I said, I was beyond tired and worried someone would have to roll me back to my hotel, an 11-minute walk away. Lastly, the prices are unreal for this area. My meal, beer flight and 10% tip (come on, people, 5-10% is welcome in Switzerland-don't forget to show your appreciation), came to 51CHF. That's a bargain. I would absolutely come back here in heartbeat. It's truly a gem. Now to see if they sell their beers in the COOP or Migros so I can take them home...

Not to dry and my parents loved it -- they are the kind who are pretty picky when it comes to any sort of American/german/etc food. The pork ribs were yummy with a tangy bbq sauce on it but a bit dry. The fries/chips were so yummy though! The bratwurst was not that great and $22. It came with a weird potatoes square salad and the same red cabbage sauerkraut. Overall, it was a meal well spent. $122 for 4 people which is so worth. Odd thing is they did have a "restaurant" tax of $8 which I have never seen at other Swiss restaurants. Service was good. Ambience felt like a sports bar, and the wait before 5pm was not bad at all Would recommend if yall like meat and potatoes!
