We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff and host were exceptionally warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was outstanding – beautifully prepared and full of flavour. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning
Found this restaurant based on the reviews on Google. I was truly impressed and glad we made the dinner reservation here. Everything was impeccable here at the restaurant. From the starters to the entrees to the drinks and the services. The alpine herb soup blew my mind the flavor profile, how balanced it was, the visual presentation, the choice of ingredients, all 10/10. Even the pumpkin soup had its own culinary signature too. The meats were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the rack of lamb and the beef dishes. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Complements to the chef and the team. Well done.
We lucked out calling at 7:30pm and getting a beautiful window table at 8 pm. The staff are lovely and in particular our waiter Joel was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic in sharing delicious recommendations. The food was all presented artistically and tasted equally good. It was overall our best meal in Switzerland. In particular, the cod special, trout appetizer and chocolate cake special were perfection. But actually every dish was well liked. Hope you get to enjoy this lovely restaurant as well!
Dinner reservations are required days in advance if you want a chance at eating here. We started off with the special appetizer of rabbit and a salad. Then for the meal we tried the white fish fillet and the local beef escalope. The sauce they used on the beef was a little bit salty for my taste. Both meals were good though. To finish I had a scoop of their homemade ice-cream and it was delicious! This place is pricey. Service was wonderful. The outdoor seating had a nice view of the mountains. Overall I would recommend this place if you want some fine dining and have some money to blow through.
Food here at Barren was great! 🍽️ We arrived without a reservation but were lucky enough to get a table. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly, which made the experience even better. I tried the smoked salmon pasta and it was amazing—the flavors were well-balanced and delicious. We were tempted to try their desserts since they all looked so good, but unfortunately, we were already too full. Also, a fun detail—their toilet has a chandelier! ✨ Such a unique touch. Definitely worth a visit!
Nicole and the rest of the staff were phenomenal! She went over and above, taking such good care of us, from recommending and serving amazing pre-dinner cocktails to guiding us toward the most incredible Swiss food!!! We had the stuffed chicken, carrot soup, pea soup, and the salad bowl, and all were unique and outstanding!!! Nicole continued to take care of us, helping us navigate our way home to another town on the trains/buses! What a wonderful overall dining experience! Fresh, fabulous food and innovative cocktails and impeccable service from the entire team! We will return!!!
