Hotel Alpenrose : Schwendetalstrasse 97, 9057 Wasserauen

Friendly, cosy family atmosphere, GREAT food, and the scenery of the valley and mountain cliffs are just breathtaking Absolutely worth a visit and stay

We visited the restaurant and we’re very impressed with the quality of the food and the service was excellent. All the ingredients are from the local suppliers.

After a hike in the waterfalls, we stopped at Alpenrose for a meal. Given the location, it’s convenient as there aren’t many restaurants nearby - without it, we might have gone hungry. The service was average, with some limitations, such as not accommodating basic requests like swapping a side for one of the main dishes. The food presentation was appealing, especially the star-shaped butter topping the meat, which added a unique flavor. However, the sides - vegetables and potatoes - were bland, lacking seasoning and spices. At an average of 28 CHF for a main, the price-to-value ratio felt disappointing. One notable distraction was the staff playing with their children in the dining room. While this added a personal touch, the noise was disruptive and could have been better suited to a different area of the hotel. Additionally, the dining space was poorly ventilated, with a strong kitchen smell lingering throughout. The hotel and restaurant itself is quite old but well-maintained and very clean, which was a positive aspect of the experience.
