The Best of »Falstaff Restaurant & Pub Guide 2026« in Canton of Obwalden
L'Atelier Robuchon brings haute cuisine to the counter - directly on Lake Geneva, in the elegant The Woodward Geneva. The open-plan kitchen becomes a stage, with precise cooking, lightness and depth. True to the philosophy of the eponymous legendary chef Joël Robuchon.
Villa Hundert was long considered an insider tip, but is now attracting more attention. Here, two young Swedes cook innovative Alpine dishes with Nordic influences. The dishes are minimalist with lots of vegetables. Much of the food is cooked in the Green Egg or on the Feuerring.
At Gasthaus Engel, down-to-earth tradition meets creative, modern cuisine. Seasonal, regional dishes delight in a family atmosphere - whether in the cosy parlour or on the garden terrace. The wine selection from the large cellar rounds off every menu charmingly.
St. Niklausen is beautifully situated in the countryside and this restaurant is the ideal place to stop off after a hike. The Alpenblick is more than a simple country inn: Rolf and Lucia Anderhalden serve cuisine that draws its influences from all over the world.
At Edomae, sushi and omakase menus are prepared directly in front of the guests, each piece a small work of art. In addition to the 15-course menus, donburi, udon and sushi à la carte are also available. Freshness, precision and Japanese craftsmanship make every visit an experience.
In Engelberg, Hess Asia brings authentic pan-Asian flavours to a modern mountain ambience. Traditional curries, dim sum and north-eastern specialities are on offer. You can also enjoy a cocktail in the bar with a view of the mountains.
The Rose in Kerns is more than just a restaurant: this is where warmth, enjoyment and local culture come together. The kitchen uses fresh seasonal produce - there is something for every palate. A tip for savoury food lovers: the raclette cheese-filled Schweinklarinettli is delicious.
A view for everyone! In the 47-metre-long veranda, the tables are placed along the windows that offer a view of Lake Sarnen. International and Swiss classics as well as the restaurant's own creations are served. The preference for regional products is evident throughout.
With a mountain panorama and large sun terrace, the Alpenrösli offers down-to-earth Swiss classics - such as game, cordon bleu or cream schnitzel - served in a sophisticated way. Coffee, home-made cakes and a selection of wines round off honest and delicious moments of pleasure.
Whether winter or summer: the terrace at over 1900 metres above sea level is an attraction and the view is unique. Luckily, the restaurant is not content with the external. The menu ranges from fish crispies to entrecôte. The Frutter chocolate cake has its fans.
The Eintracht in Balsthal has been a local meeting place for over a century. Marcel Kunz has been running the traditional pub with down-to-earth cuisine and friendly service since 2004. The interior is cosy with lots of wood, while the terrace outside invites you to sit for long periods in summer.
What could be better than eating a pizza on the Sihlterrasse in summer? Well, maybe follow it up with a portion of pasta and a succulent cordon bleu! The mixture of Italian and Swiss traditions is what makes this place so charming.
