Berggasthaus Masescha — Restaurant in Triesenberg

We were warmly welcomed and Lukas our server was very friendly and informative as well as encouraging us to experience their unique offerings and specialties. They kindly joined us in English and had their menu in English as well as German.

The region has lots of wonderful crusty bread, and this restaurant is no exception, but they serve it with a whipped herb and tomato butter that takes it to a new level.

We split the Baked Goat Cheese with mixed greens salad and it was really good. There was just the right amount of strawberry vinaigrette to accent the salad without drowning out the greens. The baked goat cheese was flavorful without being overpowering and just melted in my mouth.

Veal Cordon Blue. Veal cutlet wrapped around ham and cheese. Then battered and deep fried in the Schnitzel style to a perfect golden brown. They wrapped cheese cloth around the lemon to prevent pulp or seeds getting on the crust as the juice is squeezed on. The first cut allows the molten cheese to flow out, but it immediately cools enough to solidify and not make a mess of the plate. Honestly it would have been delicious just like that. However, they offer multiple sauces and I couldn’t pass on the berry sauce which provided another perfect dimension to it. The vegetables, while really meant as garnish I suspect, were also perfectly cooked to my taste not over done to mush or under done to crunch, just a perfect texture in the mouth. And nearly an after thought, the fries were beautifully crispy and salty to where they were easy to eat all by themselves, but dipped in the house BBQ were delightful.

My wife had the Pan Fried Loin of Lamb. She is not normally a fan of lamb, but it was highly recommended and if she had not ordered it I would have. She is also not normally the plate cleaner that I am, but it was so good she left not a speck of meat, potatoes or green beans behind. She noted that while she really likes mashed potatoes that she normally has to add lots of butter to them, but these were flavorful enough to stand as served.

“World famous apple pie”. Apparently the house specialty dessert. It was a good apple pie that clearly has more effort put into it than many. The apples were very thinly sliced so that they were almost like layers in a croissant and the crust was one of the lightest and flakiest that I have had. However unless you are a real fan of apple pie, I still wouldn’t recommend it. Not as much cinnamon or sugar as I would prefer, but a nice presentation of apples.

She also did the Warm Chocolate Cake with Liquid Core, which is baked to order and was rich and wonderful as you would expect a chocolate dessert in this region to be.

They also had a selection of very nice and unique cocktails. Who would have thought that I needed to find a source for “Sea Buckthorn Liqueur”? But after tasting their blend of this and prosecco, I have something new to add to my home shelf.

And finally let’s discuss location. The restaurant is a good 15-20 minutes drive from the Liechtenstein Center in Vaduz. And I admit that when my wife suggested it, I really just wanted to pick another restaurant in Vaduz. That would have been a terrible mistake. The drive is a fun twisting drive up the mountain and then the views from the restaurant...

Located at one of the highest inhabited hills surrounding Vaduz, with an amazing view, this restaurant is a must do if you are in Lichtenstein and you would like to celebrate something or just pamper yourself or someone. First of all, the service: very friendly, comforting (thank you for the blanket they really kept us warm and comfortable), we were placed at in my opinion the best table of the terrace, at the corner (I think we were lucky, we arrived at the right time). Then the food: The goat cheese salad was a pretty nice entrée, fresh and appetizing. For the main platters, we had the beef ribs, and WOW what an excellent surprise, they were just exquisite, tender, perfectly marinated and covered with a tasty and abundant barbecue sauce. The potatoes with parmesan cheese chunks were easy too eat, and the coleslaw salad with red cabbage was perfectly sweet. On the other hand, the veal cordon bleu with local cheese was also very tasty, I would have preferred if it were garnished by something classier or more elaborated than fries, that would have been better suited for a plate in a restaurant of that level. Don’t you worry about quantities in here, they will meet the price you pay, which is high but worth the food and sunset view behind the mountains. Must do when in...
