Restaurant Engi - Brienz

We stopped at this restaurant because the Grand Hotel was closed for the winter (I will never understand why Swiss businesses do that. The Restaurant Engi was about to close for a two week vacation and had only two items on the menu the day we were there.). We were pretty much the only customers there - Monday afternoon in November. The server was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Kalbsadrio with salat, suppe and schupfnudeln. We are rather new to Swiss food and are having fun trying things we are unfamiliar with. This meal was good but not what our taste is used to. So take away one star. Everything else was top notch. We are planning on returning in the spring when they have more menu items to choose from. And the surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous. We will include a day hike next spring.

Well, we went in the day before, just to enquire what fish/veggie options there were......the owner seemed very helpful and said to just ask when we arrive, for him, and he would make suggestions. Fine. We looked forward to it...nice view etc. We were given the impression that the large pizza-like dish was too large for one so that we could share it, as well as chips and a salad each. We also ordered beers and...a tapwater. He said he would 'make' a jug using the mountain water etc. That arrived, fizzy (how?). The bill later had TWO main courses rather than the shared one we thought we had had...therefore an extra £20....AND nearly £4...for the tapwater we had asked for. He had not told us the 'free' water would cost more than a beer - outrageous!! That left a very nasty taste in the mouth (an English expression meaning we felt we had been cheated) ....we would not, sadly, go there again. A basic meal (one course) cost us nearly £70, more than anywhere else...and everywhere is expensive out there...for some odd reason....
