This is not a place for skiers to meet, get a snack or get a drink, if you want any of these things and are not in the first flush of youth the place for you is the tent bar on the Jungfrau side of the complex. However we were extremely disappointed this year to find this bar more frequently closed rather than open. If it was closed we were directed to the Tipee tent bar but quite frankly this is not a bar for the slightly older generation - its music is too loud and heavy rock and there are no bar stools to enable you to sit at the bar or a table. Even so on occasions this year we found both bars to be closed meaning you could only get a drink in the restaurant. Adverse weather was often given as the reason for the bars to be closed but in all honesty this was just as excuse because the weather was not severe and we have known the bars in the past to be open during much worse weather conditions.We understand the bars and restaurant are under new management and we are afraid that in our view they have got it wrong. We have been visiting these bars for the last 15 years or so and the tent bar (previously run by Gisella) was a great place to meet up with people especially those based in different sides of the mountain. It was always vibrant and fairly busy even on days when there were not many people on the mountain. Not so now! We gave up trying to get a drink and snack at Kleine Scheidegg and spent our money elsewhere on the mountain as did many of our friends. Such a shame the tent bar was an institution and a drink there was something to look forward to - not any more, it is so sad.Thanks for your feedback so we can learn to improve. Of course, it is not our idea to close the bars too often or too early. Even if the weather can actually change within minutes. Based on your feedback, we have made it clearer internally which bar is open. We also checked the music in both bars critically. Yes, we often find the music too one-sided and too loud. New are music style and volume (max 80 dB) regulated.If you are back with us, please contact us. As a reward and reparation, we serve you a refreshing beer for free - in one of our bars with a pleasant atmosphere!

We ate here 3 times during our stay in Murren. It was our favorite restaurant in town! They had so many good vegetarian options on the menu. I loved the Spaghetti with Pesto Sauce, Veggie Rosti, and Thai Green Curry with Rice. Also, do not miss their Apple Strudel dessert - it was amazing! My mouth still waters just thinking about it... :) The service was warm and scenery beautiful as well. Highly recommended.

We started with a reservation for Wednesday May 25 at 7pm which was confirmed. On the day of the reservation, we called to see if they opened earlier. We were told they had been trying to reach us by phone, but never left any message: they were closed that night. So we made a new reservation for Friday May 27, at 6.30 pm, which we were told was their opening time.We arrived at the restaurant at 6.25pm on the 27th. We asked where the Brasserie was, the first bar person said it was closed. We stated we had a reservation for 6.30 pm, another more senior bar person came, said it only opened at 7pm. He took us to a table in a very stuffy room (all tables were set, one large one for a group) and said he would check if they opened at 6.30. Came back and said that no, 7 was the earliest. We debated whether to stay, asked to see the menu: it was a very short fixed menu and a four-line a-la-carte list. Outside, on the bulletin board where they show menus, they have a very extensive a-la-carte list for Jack's Brasserie, which is why we had made our reservation. We need an a-la-carte menu as we have dietary restrictions.They blamed the booking errors on the receptionist who took the reservation and to the fact that this was the season's opening day! If this was a brand new hotel and restaurant on their first day of service, we might accept this lame excuse. But this is supposed to be THE Hotel and Restaurant in Wengen.I hope that Michelin or Gault-Millau people make a point to visit this place incognito on their season opening day!!!Their website has been completely wrong about menus, opening days too.The lobby and the location of Jack's Brasserie was musty and stuffy and airless even on a warm day.The personnel did not even have the courtesy to offer us a welcome free drink for all our troubles and their incompetence!!!

Hotel Wengener Hof is a more expensive sister hotel to Hotel Belvedere, the latter is where we stayed. Wengener Hof offered a discount on their half board dinner for Belvedere guests so we decided to try it to compare. Like Belvedere it was a 5 course meal with 3 entree options. The chef here though is far more artistic, with each course having sauces and/or flowers as decoration. The food also had better flavor and variety. Like most places in Wengen the beer and wine by the glass selection was limited, but a dark beer was offered which my boyfriend hadn't seen before. Atmosphere was dated but classy, service was very good, the food I'd call above average and certainly better than the Belvedere. If the discount for Belvedere guests brought it to a price closer to the half board cost at the Belvedere, I would recommend eating here instead for all in hotel dinners.Overall a better half board dinner that its sister hotel.

Our Restaurant La Grotte is well known for its Swiss and international dishes. Well known for its fondues. Suberb selection of wines.
Reviewed By Lisa W
We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere is nice. One bit of constructive criticism: the waiters seemed very stressed and acted the overall mood of the dinner. As former restaurant owners, we understand the feeling of being very busy snd understaffed or the kitchen being behind. But with most of the patrons being on vacation and in "relaxed mode", it is stressful to see and feel their stress. They were too stressed to be cordial with us so the result was an ovetall feeling that we were not welcome. That being said, the food was good. The carpaccio and lasagna were excellent!

Most of the restaurants in Wengen are hotel restaurants and, as non-guests, we like to look for restaurants that don't look too much like hotel restaurants, if you see what I mean. The Silberhorn restaurant is nicely set out, the service is good and the food is traditional fresh Swiss fare, which usually involves cheese and potatoes in various combinations. It also has an attractive roof terrace with views across the valley. It's not a stand-out restaurant but it's certainly worth a visit and one of the better places we found in Wengen.Dear Bluemoon52Thank you very much for your positive review and you visit at our restaurant Silberhorn-Stube. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the new set out and our traditional swiss food.It would be a pleasure for us to welcome you back one day!Warm regards from WengenManagement and Hotel Silberhorn-Stube team

I hardly know where to begin. From the moment we arrived by train in Wengen to our departure 8 days later, the service was always exceptional and genuine. We were picked up by cart promptly and luggage (skis included) transported to the hotel. Our room was as promised on hotels.com, balcony with mountain facing views - just exceptional and lovely to see the sun setting in the afternoon with a glass of wine when it wasn't snowing in picturesque Wengen. While the bathroom was very very small, the shower pressure was awesome and hot water ample which is appreciated when skiing. We overlooked this as Paul was gracious and upgraded our bed to a larger size than booked (we didn't ask for this, it was done prior to our arrival). The sheets are very comfortable, turn down service nightly and room was cleaned promptly every day without any issues!This location is superb. You can walk easily to the train and are right there with main street, just a 2-3 minute ski to the tram which opens at 8:15am should you so choose to be first on the lift. The breakfast was excellent and whatever coffee you like made to order. We ate in 1903 three times and the food was the best we had during our 10 days in Switzerland. The Creamy watercress soup â potato, dried meat was divine. I could have that for dinner every night. We both had Lamb carrée with herb crust â potato gratin, beans, thyme jus. The lamb was cooked perfectly (not easy to do in my opinion), the potatoes were so tasty. We both had this meal twice. I also had the Apple tart on rum cream twice and I wish I could replicate this at home. Any reservation we requested or info we needed, the staff provided. The sauna is beautiful and super clean. The decor of the rooms and restaurant is classic Swiss and you will not find better anywhere in Wengen is my guess. When it comes to the restaurant, I am perplexed how this is not rated #1 as we ate at many other places including Hotel Baren and the food, service and ambience didn't even come close to 1903.On the day of departure, the porter came on early so he could transport our bags and skis to catch the 7:03am train on a day of heavy snow. Of course, he was there right on time and had our skis all loaded prior to us adding the other bags. The entire staff was always friendly and professional.If you are going to Wengen, this is the place to stay and eat and relax. Thank you Paul and team for making our trip exceptional. I hope we can come back someday to this beautiful valley and we would always choose to stay with you.Thank you very much !We all are looking forward to wellcome you again at the Schönegg in Wengen.Best regards Paul

We spent 3 weeks in France, Italy and Switzerland. Of those, our expectations for food were relatively low (although the views are the best) in Switzerland. However, we found Restaurant Caprice was very good and the view spectacular. It's not overly fancy by any means, but it's also not super heavy and overly sauced up either (which is a good thing). Frankly, between our experiences in Lucerne and the Jungfrau region - it was the best dinner we had. We would most definitely return.
