Restaurant Steakhouse zum Eidgenossen — Restaurant in Brig-Glis

I usually don't order a basic piece of meat at a restaurant. I find the prices too high for something which I can easily do at home. BUT although I'm a pretty good cook, I have never gotten a steak or entrecôte to taste like this. Don't know how the cook does it but the meat is absolutely divine. The sides are freshly made and just the right amount.

Very nice cozy chalet style setting, wonderful and super friendly service: our waitress, Sandy, was wonderful and the food was, again, incredible.

Nice selection of local wines. We had the red assemblage which went perfectly with our dishes.

We were there for my partner's birthday and before I could ask for dessert and give my candle to them, they brought us a Toblerone mousse (soooo good) with a candle and a sweet "happy birthday" song. It was so nice.

It's a tiny restaurant so it's probably good to reserve. The prices are typical Swiss - yup... a bit on the high side but you really get your money's worth both in overall quality and quantity.

We had been there a few years ago before the pandemic and were amazed - just as we were again this time. Hopefully it won't take us this long...

If you come there for the first time, just order the Eidgenossensteak and tapped Walliser Beer (super fresh and tasty). No chance they will disappoint you. I haven't tried anything else nor any wine as I've just spent one night in Brig but should I ever come back again, I surely pay them a visit. The service and interior indeed very nice and cosy. Their fries might use some more love but I understand they are just a Beilage. Maybe makes more sense to order...

We told the waiter we had to catch the train. After 30 minutes, we still had nothing — not even water — while he chatted with other guests.

Only when we said we were leaving did they rush to charge us, then hand us takeaway boxes without cutlery. When we asked for it, the lady told the waiter to give us something — which turned out to be one spoon for three people.

Plenty of better places in Brig — don’t waste...
