Berghaus - Kandersteg

Don’t order the “fresh fish of the day”, all our food was salty and very poorly seasoned. The butter sauce and white pepper sauce was worst than awful. The side salad was also way too salty and too much dressing. Nice view though.

I had a very relaxing, sunny afternoon break here. The staff is friendly and the food good. There are plenty of tables that overlook the lake.

What a lovely peaceful spot to relax and eat lunch .peace and quiet in the Swiss mountains cannot be beaten

We ate dinner and breakfast here while staying overnight. As hikers passing through on the Via Alpina, this was an excellent place to enjoy good meals before tackling the Hohtürli pass the next day. Although during the day you can dine outside, our meals were served inside (in a very pleasant, bright and traditional room with mounted heads of ibex and chamois on the wall) because it was too cool to be outside (we ate dinner around 7 pm, and had breakfast at 7 am). Our dinner was excellent: a joint of meat, a mixed salad, bread, vegetables, dessert. We were offered seconds on several items. Breakfast was the usual Swiss buffet, with unusually good gipfele (croissants). From the windows, we looked out on the lake and the mountains. In the evening and early morning, the area is extremely quiet (the day trippers have left for the day).

Plunge into the Alpine lake, let the sun bake you dry, and enjoy a solid lunch with a cold beer. Get away from the craziness of the tourist areas.
