For one, Switzerland always has a problem with customer service and here is one example. When asking for the toast to be toasted a bit longer, the older woman working here said "it's always crispy" I followed with "for me it's not, which is why I'm requesting it. You just have to put it in the toaster longer" to which she replied "I'll try" It was darker in color on one side and completely soft on the other. Either she doesnt know how to work a toaster or they need a new toaster. I already knew better than to try the pancakes again because they are made ahead of time, allowed to be served room temperature and are as dense as a hockey puck. The bacon was fried to a burnt crisp and the hashbrowns were not hashbrowns, they were Rösti. Even Rösti usually has more crispy bits on top. This was simply grated boiled potatoes! Eggs are hard underneath...must I go on??! Oh the coffee! I couldn't even make it past the first few sips. The coffee to go in the front of the store is slightly better.

Yay! The last time I came here was a couple of years ago, when it was Restaurant Bubu, and I had a bad experience with some food poisoning... and it was kind of dead on the weekend. But this time, it was PACKED at 8 pm on a Saturday night. Thank goodness we had made reservations, but even so, we still had to wait a bit at the bar first. The bartender was a bit short with me when he asked what we wanted to drink, and I said I needed a menu. I guess he was really busy and kind of stressed out, but I was a bit shocked when he snapped at me to wait a moment. I hadn't meant to be rude, but I guess it didn't come across okay. Oh well. I started with a lovely Amboss Amber beer that came in a bottle for CHF 7.50, but the bartender expertly poured it into a lovely glass for me. Then we got seated at a low table which actually was more uncomfortable than sitting at the bar. Oh well. I had the Swiss Prime Quarter Pounder (170gr) hamburger cooked medium with cocktail sauce (CHF 17.50) and onion rings with tarter sauce (CHF 9.50). The food was really delicious. The onion rings were fried expertly and had a really nice crunchy coating. The burger was nice and juicy--my first real "American"-tasting burger since I've been in Switzerland. The bun was really tender and yummy, too. Very Q and chewy. I washed it down with a yummy vanilla milkshake, my first "real" one in Switzerland! (CHF 12.50) It had a nice vanilla taste and generous amounts of whipped cream. The whipped cream was unsweetened, like most whipped creams I find in Switzerland, but it was still delicious with the shake. Highly recommend this place if you are craving American-style food.

The Restaurant Fritschi in Lucerne has a mural that shows the history that reflects the city's carnival traditions. The mural is so colorful. The restaurant has been around since the 1600s. Carnival Tradition in Lucerne Bruder Fritschi is a central figure in Lucerne's Fasnacht (Carnival) celebrations. In Lucerne, the tradition of "Fritschi Thursday" is a key part of carnival. Actors dressed as Brother Fritschi and his wife, Fritschene, ride in a horse-drawn carriage through Lucerne throwing oranges and sweets. This reflects a local legend of a 15th-century farmer known for his generosity, who left money to a guild to provide wine to the poor during Carnival. The restaurant is just steps from the Kapellbrücke in the heart of Old Town. A nice stop on our Guru guided tour of Lucerne.

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 place is located in the heart of Basel, right on one of the main promenades, so it was quite busy that day, mostly with tourists. The restaurant has a big indoor area, plus outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside to enjoy its classic Swiss design and cozy vibe. You can sense the historic charm in the atmosphere, but everything inside was still well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our waiter was very nice and helpful - he gave us tips about Swiss food and recommended a couple of dishes from the menu. The menu, by the way, wasn't very big, and it focused on traditional Swiss classics. We decided to share two dishes: Wienerschnitzel and Cheese Fondue (Käsefondue). The food came out quickly, within about 15 minutes. The pork schnitzel was flavorful and tender, with a perfectly enjoyable texture. We chose French fries as the side, and they were cooked really well. But the star of our lunch was definitely the Cheese Fondue - absolutely delicious! The cheese they used was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the fresh bread served with it was also tasty. Dipping the bread into the melted cheese made it a truly delightful experience. Both dishes were generous in size and more than enough for two people. The only negative about this restaurant is the prices, which are extremely high. The Cheese Fondue cost 38 CHF (about $48) PER PERSON, and the Wienerschnitzel was 40 CHF (about $50). Even though the food was excellent, I found these prices far too steep. The soft drinks we ordered were also expensive - 6 CHF ($8) for a cup of black tea or a Diet Coke. I'm from Miami, where restaurants are pricey too, but not this expensive, so even I was shocked when we got the final bill. Finalizing my review, I can say that I loved every part of my experience at the restaurant except the prices. It's definitely not a place I could afford to eat at every day (like I do in many restaurants in Miami, since I don't cook), but I still recommend checking this restaurant at least once for the experience - to try truly delicious Swiss food. Trust me and order the Cheese Fondue for sure!

Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.

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!
