Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Whether you hike up or take the mountain railway (ideal from Vitznau), it's well worth stopping off here. The location is idyllic – at 1 550m above sea level, the terrace is wonderful – and the "natural cuisine" is another big attraction! This includes smaller plates and regular dishes such as Rigi beef ragout or burger with Alpine cheese, many of which are made with produce from the immediate vicinity or grown in their own garden. Individual ingredients are explained in a friendly and competent manner. Why not try a gentian root tonic with Rigi juniper gin before dinner? Both the Bistro, for lunch, and fine dining restaurant, Regina Montium, for dinner, are located in Kräuterhotel Edelweiss, where you can stay overnight after your meal.
MICHELIN Green Star
"Our bistro shares the philosophy of the gourmet restaurant: 100% Swiss here, too, and the pure Alpine climate in the dishes. We draw on over 400 herbs from our garden, serve our own lemonades and spring water and we compost food scraps."
