The cable car pulls up the mountain. Punctually at 12 o’clock we arrive on the terrace and enjoy the unique view. We have reserved a table in the shade and curiously look at the menu. Word has spread that the food here is fresh and fine. Difficult to decide with all the creative dishes. The beautifully arranged plates that are carried past us make our mouths water. The flat-beaten Wiener Schnitzel is huge, we love the golden-brown fried Eglifish anyway. Yammi! In the end, we decide on a mixed salad for starters and a saffron risotto with grilled vegetables for the main course (23.50 CHF), a spaghetti bolognese of Angus beef with fresh mountain herbs (25.50 CHF) and a vegetarian couscous with curried vegetables and pumpernickel crumble. We are thrilled with the result: Not only is the food something to behold and served nice and hot, taste-wise the food is amazing.

The risotto has just the right bite, the sugo with Angus beef tastes so intense that we polished off the spaghetti in no time. The couscous is served with a generous portion of curry vegetables, just the right refreshment for a subsequent hike. We skip dessert because we want to enjoy it after the hike along the panoramic path on Alp Languard. We want to visit the Romantikhotel again, next time in the evening, because there are also dinners in unique surroundings. Tip: On Wednesday evening, alphorn blowers perform at 6:30 pm! Sunset included.
