Staying in Wegen leaves one with an acceptable choice of options. However, when looking for a…read morehomey-feeling meal that will leave you stuffed you should look nowhere else than Bären.
We didn't have a reservation (mid-September) but the host was beyond kind on sneaking us in. A little table in the back was perfect for us and I'm eternally grateful for her kindness.
This restaurant feels like a home and they treat you like family. We felt very comfortable and eagerly perused the menu. This is a more new-Swiss style offering and we had to be selective in our choice - we both went with the steak (one big, one small).
Being used to American steakhouses my wife was less than impressed. However, I found my 300g steal to be wonderfully cooked, tasty (not busting with flavor as it wasn't seasoned with anything), and filling! The portion was HUGE and I could barely finish it! It fit the bill after a long day of hiking though!
Leaving absolutely content with the whole experience I can confidently say that Bären was my favorite meal in Wegen... dare I say all of Switzerland!
Oh! Make sure you hit the bathroom as they have some historical pictures on the wall of the region and snowfall, really cool.
