Restaurant Blausee — Restaurant in Kandergrund

A must visit : Blausee Hotel & Restaurant, Switzerland

Note: This is my experience and review of my travel, the property and the restaurant itself. I went there for half a day trip.

My travel to blausse started with a quick 20 minute train ride from Spiez (my starting point) to Frutigen followed by a 30 minute bus journey.

The Blausee hotel property sits right in the midst of the beautiful Blausee lake surrounded by valley. In case you are not staying overnight, a small entry fee is charged which is reimbursed if you have a reservation for dinner at the restaurant. I entered the property around 4:30pm.

I reached the place at 4:30pm. The place is stunning and has a beautiful view from the valley. This is "the" place to get tons of amazing photos for your Instagram.

I didn't realize it back then, but I easily spent a couple of hours there just sitting and admiring the place. They have these amazing wooden recliners where you can sit, chill and enjoy the beautiful nature!

Now coming to the food review. I entered the restaurant exactly at my reservation time, 7:30pm. The restaurant is emaculate and classy. I was greeted by the staff beautifully. The servers are polite and take good care of you. Shoutout to David who was welcoming and made me comfortable right away! It is small things like these that make your day.

I sat down and ordered some wine. I'm not a wine connoisseur so I asked David to help me out and he didn't disappoint. I started off with an excellent white wine with the appetizer and later switched to red wine for the main course.

I had ordered Ravioli for appetizer. The ravioli was filled with smoked fish and came with sage, toasted pine nuts and cherry tomatoes on top. This was my first time having Ravioli and now the benchmark is set! The other raviolis that I eat in the future have to beat this one.

The main course was kalbsgeschnetzeltes (sliced veal gravy) with veggies and rösti. I was told this is a traditional Swiss dish hence I went with this one. This dish blew my mind. It tasted out of the world! I thoroughly enjoyed the veal. It came with whipped cream on top which looked so pretty. The meat was cooked to perfection. Rösti was tasty and wholesome too.

The whole maincourse would fill you up. The quantity was amazing. I didn't have enough place in my tummy for a 3rd course so couldn't try the dessert.

I came out of the restaurant and the property as a delighted customer. I would highly recommend visiting this place for not just it's beauty but also for the amazing food they...

Honestly, the staff at Restaurant Blausee made our night. We just had our dinner there today. Our initial plan was to visit Lake Blausee (which we came across by accident) but due to the sudden downpour we made a stop at Restaurant Blausee without a reservation. We didn’t catch all their names but can only try our best to describe them to give them all the credit where it’s due.

The first staff kindly let us in through a side entrance as I had just sprained my ankle, couldn’t walk far, and was drenched from the rain. He was super patient, gave great customer service, and gave excellent recommendations. He was also super kind to our dog, and very accommodating to us.

The second staff was very thoughtful in letting us move in from the al fresco to indoor dining as our dog was feeling cold, and afraid of the torrential downpour. Later at the end of dinner, she kindly gave us a ride in the vehicle to the entrance, as my sprained ankle became exponentially worse during dinner.

The staff at the reception saw I was limping and checked in on me, and went the extra mile to check if there were any available bandages to help (We had been driving around for hours looking for pharmacies but everything was closed). Needless to say, I was super grateful (and nearly teared) for this act of kindness. Your staff at the bar in blue also checked in on me, he was super thoughtful!!

Thank you everyone at Restaurant Blausee and Hotel Blausee for brightening our day, it sucked to have injured myself while on holiday. Thank you for showing all the little acts of kindness and accommodation to make things feel so much better 🥹

Last but not least, food was excellent, made even better by the amazing service displayed by everyone at Hotel Blausee and Restaurant Blausee. You’ve made our Switzerland trip unforgettable.

We had a very disappointing experience here. The front staff — particularly the bald gentleman with rectangular glasses — was surprisingly rude. He handed us the menu, then returned barely 10 seconds later, asking in a condescending tone, “Do you have anything? Or are you just going to read?” When we kindly asked if we could sit inside, he responded that the indoor area was closed due to understaffing, but said it in a way that made it feel like it was somehow our fault. Strangely, other guests were still being seated inside during our visit.

As for the food, the trout dishes were bland — simply cooked with no noticeable seasoning. For the price (40–50 CHF per plate), I expected far better quality and flavor. To make matters worse, there were so many flies around the table, which made it hard to enjoy the meal.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially considering the service, food quality, and price point. There are certainly better options...
