Engelberg in Bielersee (BE)

Not exactly cheap, but: top location, nice staff with a great boss, solid cuisine and top wines. A bit busy on Sundays, perfect during the week. In Zurich you are milked much more for poor performance... drink angel beer! Tastes delicious. Update March 24: still good; perfectly fried char!

Recommended, very good and courteous service. Good and rich menu. Great view of Lake Biel

Recommended to everyone. Kindness, good quality and presentation of the dishes

Always a very warm welcome, culinary excellence, super-fine homemade sauces, quality at a high level. We are always really happy to come to Engelberg.

Friendly, competent service, very nice location right on the lake, jetty for the shipping line and private individuals. Children's playground and lawn. Excellent menu with many delicious dishes and fine wines (red wine: Gamaret, white wine: Chasselas from Christoph Hügli).

Very good restaurant where we were very well received. The service really deserves 5 stars and the hunting dish that we tasted was plentiful and excellent. We will gladly come back!

The place is excellent, very good, I like contributing photos in this wonderful place

We have a cozy meal on Saturday. There's only one thing you can say! Great service, very fine food. Bravo and thank you very much 🙌🙌 We will be back 100% 😉😉

Very tasty food. I have rarely experienced such nice staff. Super Service!

Friendly quick. Good vermicelles.

We spontaneously went there in the evening. There were several free tables, some with a reserve sign. We were first offered the table under a tree with a fruit fly colony on the grounds that all other tables were reserved. Then a younger lady was kind enough to offer a free table to the waitress, but the other two older waitresses were obviously reluctant to offer us the table. In the meantime, a Swiss couple came without a reservation and suddenly there was a free table. The waitress told them they could sit there as long as they wanted. I found this extremely hostile and discriminatory and reported this to the waitress. Instead of an apology, I wasn't even given the floor to explain what had happened to the manager. She mentioned the couple's name, which made it clear that they knew each other. The manager said something in front of him and just turned his back. We didn't stay, I was even told that I didn't have to stay. This is disrespectful and xenophobic. Will never go there again and tell the story often enough. It's a shame that people like this are destroying the image of the beautiful country and of the restaurant anyway.

Shaded terrace directly on the lake if required. Very nice atmosphere. Food was top notch and so was the service. Everything as it should be. Gladly again.

great conditions and delicious food!🍔🥗

Nice location by the lake. Friendly service. Food good price performance ratio.

If I could, there would be 10 stars everywhere! We are very critical, service employees ourselves, and we were absolutely thrilled from A to Z! Ambience awesome. Decently spaced tables with enough space between them. Super delicious food and a great salad buffet! The service was even extra sensational. My son pulled his loose tooth himself in the restaurant and the lady made his tears disappear with a pack of chips and biscuits. Just awesome. Thanks alot! And the ambience is magical. Everything is just right here. Service was really great, the food was great and the atmosphere was great. Be sure to reserve. We'd love to come back.

Great place, terrace by the lake, always friendly staff and good food.

I haven't had such friendly service in a long time! Top restaurant for cozy hours. The food was fresh, tasty and large portions. I was very positively surprised by the service, simply because the welcome was very warm. Top professional from end to end! Be sure to reserve!

Great address, the staff is really great and the food is excellent, the place is very nice

Very nicely located restaurant right on Lake Biel, wonderful to linger😃

Beautiful place, service not always very friendly. We haven't eaten there for a few years after some disappointments.

Everything is perfect, thank you also for your kindness and your welcome!

We really enjoyed our stay. The food was great, the staff very attentive and friendly. We'll come soon👍

Magnificent terrace, under a radiant sun and accompanied by a delicious rossbeaf

Nice setting but quite noisy dining room.

Very friendly owner couple, as well as every service employee! We are excited. The food on Saturday evening was fantastic, as was the location right on the lake. Enough privacy as the tables in the garden were not lined up too close to each other. Dog friendly and very professional, despite the restaurant being full. Thank you very much and see you soon!

Very good, beautiful plates and great welcome.

Very friendly service. The food, perch fillets menuier with vegetables, boiled potatoes and salad from the buffet was excellent. The ambience is simply fantastic despite the rainy day. Price and performance are top.

Beautifully located place, ideal for docking by boat. Unfortunately my cream schnitzel was cooked a little too hard. But I'll come back to try the other dishes, the salad buffet is TOP👍🏼

Even a little attention for my birthday. A big thank-you !

beautiful atmosphere, fine food and the friendliest service in the whole country. We always enjoy coming back.

When I go out to eat, it's not just the quality of the food that's important to me, but also the service and the ambience. The Engelberg restaurant in Wingreis excels in all three categories. The host couple always finds time for a few nice words, which gives the guests the feeling that they are not just a table number. The menu contains something for every taste and the dishes are lovingly decorated and served by friendly, attentive service staff or, in some cases, by the host couple. Last but not least, the Engelberg restaurant impresses with its wonderful ambience. You can unwind under the linden trees on the enchanting Lake Biel. See you soon!

We went for a spontaneous dinner on the drive home from the weekend. We found a large charming terrace on the shore of Lake of Biel, great local fish, lovely and quick service (and a little playground). There was enough space and the tables were not too close to each other, so that one could enjoy their own conversation and not the one of the neighbors. The restaurant owner went out to talk to the guests as well.

We wanted to go there for a spontaneous meal. Of course we expected that there would be some reservations. When we arrived it started to rain and many tables were free, only a few with reserved signs. We were greeted in a friendly manner, then a woman (chef de service or the like) got up from a table and asked directly about a reservation. When we said no, she said she couldn't do anything and immediately wished us a nice evening. No effort was made to find a table (looked pretty empty) and the best thing is that the staff take tables themselves! We often ate there on nice days and many of our friends did too. In the future we will prefer to spend our money in restaurants that make an effort!

Exquisite cuisine in a beautiful location on Lake Biel. Kind, smiling and friendly staff.

Very unfriendly, really not recommended.

Restaurant right on the lake Super Service. EXCELLENT FOOD. We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with our bridesman. It was a perfect evening. Thank you

Very friendly and attentive staff in a family atmosphere

We arrived soaked by the rain and Madame opened and served us coffees even though the restaurant opened 20 minutes later. Excellent service

Our wedding venue with a splendid lake view

The terrace is just incredible, it's nice and the meals are very good

The two of us were there on Friday afternoon. Although the terrace was very full, the service was quick and error-free. We had fine fish with asparagus and homemade sauces (vinaigrette & house mayonnaise). We would be happy to come back.

We were here specifically to enjoy fish crispies on Lake Biel and they were excellent. Only the fries were poorly seasoned or a bit bland. Service was super nice and the location by the lake was great anyway.

Very friendly, smiling, welcoming waitresses.... Thank you very much

Nice place with fine fish crispy. Very nice terrace by the lake in summer.

Very nice welcome and service! Food was great too!

A wonderful place to eat fine food and unwind by the lake. I highly recommend the Engelberg.

The meals and desserts are delicious, and the portions are huge. The service staff are friendly and kind, always smiling. The price is reasonable.

Daniela is by far the best service woman in this industry! Very personable, very funny and smiles at work! That's just what lights up your heart❤️ -Ylenia Ymeri

Relaxing and just a wonderful place to be.

There's only one thing to say OUTSTANDING in all areas. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

It was a very great first visit and it won't be the last. Great water view and very friendly staff. Gladly again

nice place, nice service, fine fish crispy

Nice place for wine and perfect view on lake

Food was good. The service and location still has room for improvement.

Terrace with a beautiful view of the lake, friendly staff

Everything was perfect. I have rarely seen such a warm place and very friendly staff. Also gluten free thank you very much.

Very friendly service and we ate very well.

You feel very welcome. Service is attentive, friendly, always with a laugh and they take great care of the guests' well-being. The salad was very good and a lot to choose from. The menu was super tasty. Price performance was right. We will come back. Very nicely located on the lake.

For years, always very warm service, food with quality products and cooked with care! A favorite restaurant where I return with family every time with pleasure! THANKS

Well received and very good food, a place to remember!

We are always very well served by Edith and Kai and their staff, we are always happy to come back. Ici c’est Bienne!! Best regards Nicholas

It couldn't be better, a great MERCI!

Simply great. The service, ambience and of course the food are top class.

Beautiful place on Lake Biel, especially in autumn 🍁

Was able to enjoy a birthday meal here from a dear friend. WOW! The food was fantastic... from the starter to the dessert everything was top quality food and prepared to a high standard. The staff was attentive and competent. Above all, the staff with friends serving were very friendly. It wasn't the last time I was here! Can only recommend it.

Very nice restaurant right on Lake Biel. Friendly service and good food, not too expensive.

You always feel welcome here. Keep it up, bravo😘

I love this restaurant and all its staff, it is always excellent and we are made to feel at home. I really love you.

Very nicely located on Lake Biel. Everything was just super delicious. We had the gastro menu, 5 courses. Various dishes can be selected there. There is also a lot to choose from on the a la carte menu. Very nice, friendly, courteous staff and innkeepers. I can only recommend. Top!

It's always nice to stop by Mr. and Mrs. Rindlisbacher and the team. Thank you very much for helping out with the bike pump.

The service was great, the view was beautiful and the food was great

Great service We had the gastro menu, everything was delicious. Well done 👏

The prices are expensive even for the Swiss but the conditions were super nice and attentive. We didn't have a reservation but our waitress told us to wait because there would be a free table soon. The food was ok

Nice location by the lake, good food.

Great restaurant, very fine food and absolutely nice staff. We recommend. Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay on Saturday lunchtime.

Great, family-run garden restaurant with an extensive menu and a good selection of local wines.

Feel-good restaurant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Friendly, natural & very attentive staff... Many menus to choose from & very fine cuisine👌🏻 I really appreciate the space, so it's a bonus that the terrace isn't cluttered and overloaded... 👍🏻

A wonderful place. Arriving by ship is great and makes the visit somehow special. Very nice hosts and good cuisine.

Very beautiful place...except the nets of death which are supposed to protect the grapes from birds...the birds get caught in them and die of exhaustion trying to get out... Horrible scene 🥺

Beautiful view. Nice gentleman serving...boss?? Somewhat high prices

We ate at our civil wedding in the Engelberg restaurant. The service, the food and the location are awesome! We had a great evening and were very pampered. Very accommodating and uncomplicated hosts. We'll definitely come back :-)

The best restaurant on Lake Biel! Everything is just right.

very large parking lot. wonderful location by the lake. friendly owners and employees. Simple, clear map, everything you need is there. the salads from the buffet are good. The fish was also good, but “just” good. There is quite a lot of fish on the plate or in the basket, which I thought was great. certainly worth a visit again!

Stunning place and excellent cuisine. Personally friendly and professional. Congratulations and Thanks

It was simply unique and beautiful, we were able to enjoy our dinner right by the lake! Very, very friendly, courteous service! Great😋👍🏻

Surprise super nice place Ate well

Nice place by the lake. Very good food.

Super friendly boss and staff! Fine salad buffet. Definitely coming back and this time for dinner. I'm happy!

Very Lovely place for Summer everything, the fish cook style of fish and chips. Very fast service

Beautiful place with extremely well-kept cuisine and friendly, attentive staff. Depending on your menu choice, you can create your own salad plate from a rich salad buffet. The offering is always fresh and presented with great care. Eating here is really fun and enjoyable.

There will always be a very nice reception. Quality from the kitchen is the best. Thank you.

We were there with a group of girlfriends. The reservation was easy to reschedule and the food was delicious. The innkeeper couple gave us a friendly welcome.

Magnificent terrace by the lake and very good fish

For us the BEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL restaurant on Lake Biel. Extremely nice and courteous service and great cuisine

Very tasty and very nice service! Unfortunately the price was rather marginal.

Super fine food, in a great location. Very friendly and prompt staff. We'd love to come back😀☀️

Wonderfully very tender chicken breast

I can recommend it 100%. Very family-like.

Many thanks to the entire Engelberg team! Today we are enjoying the meal for the confirmation of our twins, a wonderful menu, a very friendly team and a great atmosphere on beautiful Lake Biel. Gladly again and best regards.

Super great restaurant in a fantastic location right on the lake. We ate delicious perch fillets here, it was a heavenly treat. Very friendly, courteous staff, a special thank you goes to Ms. Rindlisbacher for the excellent service! We are already looking forward to our next visit!
