Prices are right up the middle for Swiss dining standards, which is almost a surprise given the location, view, and menu quality. Indeed, they're slightly cheaper than I'd have expected. The restaurant is very aware of vegetarian food -- which is rare in many parts of Switzerland -- and actually has multiple options, which is rarer still. To further push the rarity, the dishes have been prepared with some thought, rather than just subtracting the meat or tossing together some indifferent carbohydrates. The service is outstanding: proper and solicitous, not what it could so easily have been (stiff or snooty) given the posh restaurant and fancy hotel surroundings. Overall, a really pleasant surprise. I virtually never eat at the restaurant in a hotel where I'm staying, but the veggie options had already made me very curious; the view compounded it; and the poor weather outside sealed the deal. No regrets at all: this was a winner.

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.
