Taverne 1879 — Restaurant in Ennetbürgen

Ate at the Taverne restaurant. They serve authentic Swiss food, prepared my master chefs and very reasonably priced considering the resort to which it is attached, which caters to the rich and famous. I wasn't staying at the resort, so can't comment on that but did observe some amazing vehicles (several older Ferraris) and the inside of the main lobby - very nice indeed. Their menu changes often at the Taverne Restaurant, but the cheese and meat salad, steak tartare and the pork steak with frites, topped with a mushroom based "marsala" (best comparison) sauce was absolutely phenomenal.

The second night, was Oak Grill. Food and service were amazing.||Overall this Hotel is absolutely breathtaking, however I can see why the service falls short after now staying.
