Our waitress was helpful with suggestions and quite personable. It is classy inside with a bbq twist. Their presentation of the entrees came with a Tex feel. Their French fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect combo. The prawns were seasoned to perfection as well. The filet was cooked to my husbands request. He said that it had just enough seasoning for taste. Same with the hamburgers. We enjoyed our meal all around and would frequent this location if we were locals. Highly recommend, you won't regret it

Die Zimmer sind neu renoviert und heimelig, wenn auch in der Nacht etwas warm und stickig. Die Seminarräumlichkeiten (z.B. In einem alten Schulhaus, wie cool ist das denn?) bieten alles notwendige und tragen mit ihrem Charme zum Erfolg bei. Der Küche gilt ganz spezielles Lob. Man achtet auf die lokale Herkunft der Zutaten, die Frische merkt man den Menüs an, ebenso die Liebe die ins Kochen gesteckt wird. Es gibt hier keine Fernseher, darum ist man am Abend mal gezwungen sich mit seinen Kollegen Seminarteilnehmern auseinanderzusetzen anstatt in die Glotze zu schauen! (Aber es gibt einen mässig schnellen gratis Internetzugang, immerhin)

Rolf Fuchs won a world cooking championship as a chef and has worked with and been coached by some of Switzerland's best chefs, including Philippe Rochat, Daniel Bumann and Robert Speth. His cuisine is based on a classical French foundation, augmented by modern technology and his boundless creativity. He's an artist: His paintings adorn the gourmet restaurant, hinting at his culinary artistry, which is as colourful as his paintings. In a word, his cuisine is surprising. You don't really know what you're getting into when you first visit the Fuchs family's restaurant, but you'll never forget the food or the view. They don't have a dedicated pastry chef, but make very good desserts. His crème brulée beats all others in terms of beauty and creativity, a real eye-catcher! A molecular (i.e. frozen in liquid nitrogen) ball of yoghurt, flavoured with ginger, orange and mint was another spectacular surprise. His brownies, made with Valrhona Grand Cru couverture from France, are the best we've had so far even better than mine! Order the special pralines you'll be surprised! The service in the gourmet restaurant is absolutely perfect, flawless in every way.

We stumbled across Fondü-Hüsli and saw the charming outdoor seating area. There was a fun Christmas…read moretree in the middle and a lot of seating, with fur and blankets. The menu for outside is pretty simple, with four different fondue options (classic, champagne, paprika, and herb flavored) as well as a few salad and drink options. Once we were seated, we were greeted by a friendly waiter named Adam. While the menu was all in German, Adam very patiently explained all of the different dishes on the menu to us. We decided on ordering the champagne fondue and herb fondue, which both serve two people. The food came pretty quickly and was served with bread and potatoes. We ordered the two fondue pots for four people, but in hindsight, it was more than enough. Both fondues were very good; however, I prefer the champagne option as it was slightly less salty. I would still recommend both these options and thought the fondue was excellent. The texture and consistency was very smooth and did not feel too heavy. Overall, I had a great experience here. The one note that I will make about the place is that it was a little on the pricier side, but that is to be expected. I would definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant of you are in Thun for the day.

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!
