    Great fondue~
    B J.

    Great, friendly service. Excellent fondue. Funky atmosphere. All around a great Swiss experience. Would definitely return for the fondue. Music is a bit dated...felt like I was stuck in a Dirty Dancing loop. But otherwise a good time!

    Asian style family meal with wheat bread, sauce options, potato wedges, veggies, and chicken.

    Restaurant Engelberg - Sauerbraten, meat tough as leather!

    We first stopped by this restaurant for lunch and were absolutely blown away at how good the Wiener…read moreschnitzel was, with a delicate, crisp crust and ultra tender pork inside (for lunch it's actually Schweineschnitizel). The accompanying pommes-frites were also wonderful. A few nights later we went there for dinner so my wife could get the incredible schnitzel and I ordered Walliser-style Rösti (with tomato and cheese melted on top). I like crispy Rösti, but in this case the potatoes were cooked to an ultra-crispy texture, making it a tasty, crunchy delight. Truly superb food served by a courteous, friendly and efficient staff. This restaurant was truly a culinary highlight of our visit to Engelberg.

    Sauerbraten was tough as leather, as if the sauce was just poured on top. Traditional sauerbraten…read moreis beef that has been marinated for several days in a vinegar‑wine mixture and then slowly braised in that same liquid until very tender, so it almost falls apart. In this restaurant the only infusion time between the meat and the sauce occurred when the chef poured that sauce over the meat in the kitchen and that plate arrived at my table. I've had more authentic sauerbraten in Queens, NY, than this restaurant. I mean, I could make a pair of shoes with this version. The worst part? Noah came to $74 USD... one glass of wine, one leatherbraten dish.

    Yelp Review 2026 #106:…read more Restaurant Fritschi has been around since the 1600s. They serve traditional Swiss food. Fondue, raclette, schnitzel, rosti, etc. A lot of people would have their picture taken in front of this restaurant whether they eat/ ate here or not. Rindgeschnetzeltes Stroganoff mit Nudeln, Peperoni Champignons und Essiggurken: Sliced beef stroganoff with pasta, pepperoni, mushrooms, and pickles. The "pepperoni" in Europe means peppers. No actual pepperoni came with this dish. LOL. Stroganoff with a little kick. They could've added a bit more beef though. 3/5 Fritschi Pastetli: Fritschi puff-pastry from a very old house recipe. They had 3 menu items that are house specialties so, I wanted to give one of them a try and I picked this. I Googled what Fritschi Pastetli before coming here. Puff pastry pie - I can eat that. You can taste the alcohol. The puff pastry was nice but overall the dish was salty and again, not enough meat. 3/5 A lot of people complained about the service here on review sites but our server was great. The artwork, the old furnitures give it character. The food was mediocre.

    Absolutely amazing experience! We left the fondue house nearby due to poor atmosphere and service…read moreand ended up at this peaceful calm spot right on the lake with exceptional service. The waiter was a true pleasure. A young Hispanic man that had lived in Spain. He was very accommodating and attentive. The view and atmosphere was unbeatable. The food was so delicious. We had wine and salad followed by the chorizo fondue and perch fillets. We had to finish with dessert after such a great meal! Warm gingerbread and the most beautiful Irish coffee. Truly great and I highly recommend this restaurant. The bathroom is also something to behold with chandeliers and an original vintage toilet. 10/10!

Plenty of indoor seating is available, but seems like a waste of a gorgeous view and a clear day. Check out the bathroom inside-- hand painted porcelain bowls and an oil painting in the stall make you feel like royalty as you wee. The Hugo cocktail was nice, but a little diluted by ice. Ironically, the drinks here usually do not arrive with ice (and I love my ice). We thought we requested tap water, but received 2 small carafes of iced water for a 9 charge of Swiss francs. At least the water was served with lemon slices. The pasta dish was tasty-- a creamy Parmesan sauce with bits of bacon. The beef tartar looked better than it tasted-- it was infused with some sort of tomato sauce that didn't work well with the dish. If you want the view and can find a seat, go for it. If you are looking meticulously for fine dining, skip it.

    We just happened see it while walking through Sternenplatz on our very first day in Lucerne. I knew…read morethat there would be entertainment, and the timing of that was perfect. We didn't have a reservation for lunch, but they warmly welcomed us to the upper dining area. There was a very large tour group seated in the lower front part near the stage. The lovely show announcer asked us where we were from (USA), and told us that we arrived just in time to see their show. Yay! There were people of all nationalities enjoying their hospitality. Our server (Linda) arrived shortly after that with our menus. She was great! We ordered a big bottle of still water for our drinks. I just had to try the traditional Fritschi Pastete from Kreyenbühl Bakery while my husband ordered the Pork Cordon Bleu. All the menus around town were heavy on veal. My husband was happy to see "schweins" on this menu. Everything was good! Honestly, I could have done without the ring of rice. I would have been happier with some veggies or boiled potatoes. The rice around the pastete wasn't that good, but I guess it's there to soak up the sauce that flows out of the pastry. The size of the whole dish was a bit overwhelming. In retrospect, I should have ordered something lighter. I was barely able to eat half of it. It was a very large portion. The meat (veal) & sauce was gamey. Most people love that. It's a Swiss tradition. The boozy raisins served with it was a treat. Let's just say it was a good food exploration. My husband really liked the creamy mountain cheese in his Cordon Bleu, as well as the crispy fries. The best part was the Folklore Show. This is what draws everyone here. It may seem touristy to some, but I found it to be very cultural. I honestly don't get the lower reviews for this place. Why did you even pick this restaurant if you don't like seeing traditional Swiss culture? It was a great performance! It was cool to hear the music and sounds of the Alps. This included the Alphorn music as well as yodeling. I loved it! It was also interactive. They brought up volunteers to the stage to blow into the alphorn, and to dance with them. We would have stayed longer but we had to get back to sightseeing. There's never enough time in the day to do everything. I totally recommend a visit if you're looking for traditional Swiss food & culture. There's raclette and fondue dishes including Fondue Chinoise (or Hot Pot). There are vegetarian offerings as well as a full bar of drinks. It's a cool & clean atmosphere. A very enjoyable experience!

    If it's wrong to want a delicious fondue experience in Switzerland, then I don't want to be right…read more We looked up spots nearby us and this place was highly recommended. We arrived on a Saturday night and it was busy. We shared a table with another group, but they were leaving. We ordered the cheese fondue and a steak. The fondue was great. As was the steak. It was a good portion but I totally could have had a second pot of fondue easily. It took a while for the food to come out. There was not much communication about the delay with the food so we were just left wondering until it finally came out. It also took a while to locate the server when we were ready to pay the bill. All in all it was great food and would recommend to anyone - just pack some patience.
