The Best Restaurants with 3 Falstaff Fork(s) in Canton of Nidwalden
At the Bijou des Kreuzes, eating becomes almost a ritual: in the evening, the historic restaurant is transformed into a micro fine dining venue with just a few tables. A surprise menu that combines Swiss and Asian flavours - personal, intimate and brilliant.
Where vegetables become art, the vegetarian menu surprises with sensual nuances. So much gastronomic sophistication that even carnivores will be swayed. At the Belvédère lakeside restaurant, you can taste and feel the passion of the two hosts with every bite.
Here you feel like you are part of a gourmet spectacle and a guest at a friend's house. You dine in a flat, Christoph Aebersold prepares his elegant dishes at a kitchen island. Host and sommelier Agron Tunprenkaj finds the right match for every plate.
The magnificent Bürgenstock not only impresses with its priceless view of Lake Lucerne. This is where Ritzcoffier meets the French brasserie feeling - only sharpened up. Timeless classics rethought with sophisticated modern accents.
In this historic house, ancient Alpine tradition meets modern refinement and the menu is a true gastronomic delight made from the best ingredients from the forest, meadows, mountains and lake. Vaulted old beams and relaxed elegance make for a cosy gourmet dinner.
Fantastic views over Lake Lucerne - and into the open kitchen - as well as tasty pan-Asian dishes. Whether Indian, Japanese or Thai, the food is cooked authentically with selected produce. The experienced chefs come from the countries of provenance.
Where Lake Lucerne shines, the Belvédère spoils you with gastronomic moments. Local ingredients dance on the plate in the lakeside bistro: tartare with fragrant herbs, homemade rigatoni and tender fallow deer entrecôte, accompanied by surprising side dishes.
It almost seems as if fate has brought the two top chefs Mike Wehrle and Christian Scharrer together. After all, they have been connected since childhood by the Black Forest, where they grew up just a few villages away from each other. The fact that Scharrer has now been managing the culinary signature of the "Verbena" in the "Waldhotel" on the Bürgenstock since March should therefore please Corporate Culinary Director Mike Wehrle just as much as the new head chef himself. After all, the dishes served here evoke memories of home: potato rösti with smoked salmon are just as much a part of the menu as the veal maultäschle in aromatic lovage broth, which is much loved by Swabians - served with Baden potato salad, of course. As down-to-earth as the dishes may seem, their execution bears the unmistakable signature of a two-star chef. The onion roast from Luma beef with egg noodles and young vegetables is exemplary of Scharrer's craftsmanship and quality. Incidentally, Scharrer's partner Nathalie keeps an eye on the atmosphere and the guests herself. The two are a well-rehearsed management duo. Wehrle also has a hand in the dessert: the biscuit base of the Black Forest gateau - a surprisingly unconventional interpretation - still comes from her mother's recipe. The rest is from Head Pâtissier Damian Carini. The Verbena has once again impressively proven that you can dine excellently 500 meters above Lake Lucerne. Christian Scharrer has a promising new culinary chapter ahead of him. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
In the panelled parlour, the kitchen wields the creative cooking spoon: a daily fresh three-course menu, elegantly composed with a regional touch - from steaming Alpine salmon to veal fillet and exquisite cheeses. A perfect address for gourmets.
The wood-fired grill in the barbecue restaurant is manned by grill masters who are masters of their craft. Succulent meat specialities and seafood cooked to perfection are served with a fine selection of sauces. Super: the Oak Burger with bacon confit.
High above Lake Lucerne, Parisa at the Bürgenstock Resort offers Persian cuisine based on a concept from Qatar, charmingly combined with a Swiss panorama. A four-course sharing menu is served in the elegant lounge, accompanied by the sunset over the lake.
