Taverne 1879 : Resort Lake Lucerne, Bürgenstock 24, 6363 Obbürgen

A nice place to visit. The Tavern itself is a basic place to stay with few amenities and thus leaves a bit of an overpriced impression. However, the location is beautiful and stunning. Unfortunately, there’s no room service and check in as well as breakfast are within the Waldhotel. We found that most staff are very friendly and service oriented. Paying 40.- CHF for car parking is definitely too expensive and leaves question marks…

This review pertains to the Taverne 1879 restaurant, not the hotel/resort. The simple advice is: don’t go unless your life depends on it. The food is bad, portions are tiny and the prices resemble those of Michelin star restaurants. We had to eat three main courses just to get normally full (this has never happened before). One of those dishes was a lentil stew with sausages: 30 franks for what was obviously a powdered soup with a frozen garden vegetable mix (maybe 2 franks in a local supermarket) with the cheapest sausages you can find in a supermarket - which had not even been heated properly but were served lukewarm. It is beyond comprehension why the restaurant rips customers off like that. An important upside: the front-of-house service personnel were super lovely and did an awesome job.

Went for lunch here on a Sunday afternoon, nice staff, Swiss cuisine😊 Thank you.
