Berg 699 - Hofstetten-Flueh

Delicious food, friendly waiters and a beautiful view. However, not particularly cheap either.

Simply sensational again. The ambience, the view, the service and of course the food. I always enjoy going there!

The view is great. The service was friendly. But the food is not special and there are no vegetables and the price is too expensive for what there is. The spaetzle were dry, the rest was fine..... 1 scoop of ice cream for 5 Fr. Without cream.. Don't come back.

The Bergmatten restaurant is located 20 km from the city of Basel and exactly 699 m above sea level, high above Hofstetten (SO). On this summer evening we had a great view of the surrounding communities as far as Basel and the hustle and bustle at the airport. Plus, hearty food, friendly service and a very pleasant atmosphere.

We booked the day before and we were excited to eat and have good time on top of that hill. The restaurant is nice and has a great panorama. We asked to get the menu after 10 minutes we were waiting. We ordered at 12:45, we waited for more than 1 hour to get the food. They said all the services were having delays. The bill was expensive and they did not applied any discounts for the delay. The food is expensive and we knew it in advance, we were thinking that for a view like it was a deal. Unfortunately the experience was not great. I anyway suggest to go and try, probably it was simply bad luck.
