Gasthof zur Linde — Restaurant in Gündlischwand

Food was good but we bought two dishes, each around 25 CHF but when the bill came, it was 71 CHF: If you’re a tourist, just beware they may over charge you for random things like tap water and sharing plates 🥲disappointed

Edit after the owners reply: We have been eating out in Switzerland for several weeks now and not one restaurant has ever charged us 15 CHF for 3 empty plates and 10 CHF for tap water.

If the owner had the decency to be transparent about the prices, we might as well ordered a third dish, and this would have provided us with enough plates for our party of 3 to eat off of. It’s not about the money we spent but the lack of transparency with prices.

Switzerland has always had free drinking water, and there are public fountains everywhere with water.

Lastly, I think it was unnecessary to point out cultural differences because we were never asked where...

We passed by Lauterbrunnen as it was to pretty crowded with many tourists for a Saturday lunch. I searched up a restaurant nearby with 4 stars and found this place. Presentation was nice. We opted for 2 “fitness” choices (for the burger, and pork schnitzel). The accompanying salads come with lots of balsamic vinegar. The Linde Rösti came smothered with the raclette cheese. (I was hoping for a crackley edge of rösti) Service felt a bit slow but this could also be interpreted as being hospitable and allowing guests to eat and chat and chill out post-meal. We walked away...

Very best Rösti we ever had. We went for dinner to Zur Linde and choose for the ‘Rösti zur Linde’. The very friendly staff served us fast and with passion for food and for her business. She is the kindest we met this week here in the region. The rösti was the best we ever had. Not the tourist-version you can eat in Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen but the real farmer-rösti. We will come back as soon as possible and will never forget how good it was. We will broadcast it further and hope many locals and tourist will find your place. Very big...
