    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.

    I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights this winter, together with my work team. We had our group…read moreretreat here. Schweitzerhof is located right next to the train station in Engelberg, which makes it a very convenient destination for tourists. Across the street from it there are couple of bars and restaurants, as well as a Mammut sports and rental centre. The rooms are spacious, clean and very nice. The bathroom was also big and quite modern. The staff at the reception was polite and helpful: in the last day they let us use their lobby for many hours (we were a large group, so we were literally taking up all the space in their lobby) and even served us some fruits. Very important to mention is that the food we had at their restaurant was great: not only very tasty, but also attractively arranged on the plate. And they have a separate Cheese room, where they only serve fondue and raclette in a traditional atmosphere. You cannot leave Engelberg without having the traditional fondue pot and that's one of the nicest and well priced places to have it! For the hotel however, be prepared to empty your pockets, as you can easily spend around 200 chf/night. But it's worth pampering / being pampered every once in a while, isn't it? :)

The buffet breakfast at the pavilion was above average, with a nice selection of local meats, cheeses, fresh juices, homemade breads and even sparkling wine. I can't speak to other meals at the hotel since we dined out for other meals and only spent two days there. Our primary complaint was that the room wasn't available for the early checkin, despite pre-requesting same through virtuoso. When we planned our trip we were unaware that we would be visiting during carnal all, and nothing could have prepared us for the craziness! It was like Mardi Gras on speed, with insane costumes and people of all ages singing, dancing, playing music, eating and drinking in the streets. There as even a party on Saturday night in the lobby, lobby bar, and ballroom of the hotel that went until 4 am. What a blast!!
