We visited this place on the way up a hike from Wengen to Kleine Schiedegg. Our experience was downright abhorrent and appalling. We were pretty thirsty so both of us wanted something tasty to drink, and ideally a snack to keep us going.
The entirety of the restaurant was open tables, so we sat ourselves. The service took a really long time (although I generally don't factor that into ratings). I mention it only because it is highly relevant to our subsequent experience.
While we were waiting (a long while) to place our order, my wife got up to use the bathroom. When I was finally greeted, I ordered a ginger ale and a brownie. As my wife returned from the bathroom and approached our table, the waiter (owner?) began accosting her about being a "foreigner that had no idea how certain things like using the bathroom were insulting to Swiss people". This was all before she could even utter a word.
At first, I just assumed he didn't realize she was with me, but when he returned, he was not AT ALL apologetic, and went on ignoring her and conduct business solely through me. I cannot assign intent to his behavior, but it FELT racist (my wife is South Indian) and/or misogynistic.
For some reason they have a Michelin star sign outside their restaurant. In subsequent research, I could not find evidence of their having earned such a designation.
The food was, compared to Swiss food in general, objectively mediocre at best (perhaps two stars). The appalling and hostile experience is what ultimately leads me to give this restaurant one star. read more
