Restaurant Bistro Tulipan in Einsiedeln

PAYMENT WITH CARD ONLY FROM CHF 10.00! Pastries must be ordered at the buffet and paid for directly. Drinks, on the other hand, have to be ordered and paid for separately at the table. So you don't get CHF 10.00 for two people and are forced to give a tip, even though the service was absolutely unfriendly and didn't deserve it. This almost borders on a rip-off. The apple strudel is dry again and again, even with vanilla sauce.

Friendly service always ready to have fun. High quality food

We asked if we could pay with Twint instead of a normal answer, we got a harsh no and the accusation that we had to ask first (we hadn't ordered yet) all in all the service was rude and unfriendly.

Unfriendly service. Couldn't pay with twint.

The drinks had to be picked up by the waiters and the food inside at the counter. There was no possibility of ordering both together. I had to pay for the food inside and the drinks to the waiters. Card payment is only possible from 10 CHF, so we had to give a tip so that we could get to the 10 CHF. In a tourist town like this it's impossible to be able to pay with a card starting from 10 CHF! The waitress was very unfriendly and didn't really deserve a tip. This system borders on a rip-off and I will no longer use it.

The coffee was delicious, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Impeccable bathrooms.

Very centrally located café right on Klosterplatz. There is a very good selection of cakes and drinks at fair prices. The staff was always very friendly. For us as a family with a small child, a big plus is the beautiful play area with a slide and ball pit in the back of the café. We really enjoy coming here.

The last three visits within 6 months really leave a lot to be desired. The last time we reached the summit was yesterday afternoon in beautiful weather for a chocolate melange. We explained the long waiting time with the many guests. Unfortunately the toilets were repeatedly dirty. During the obligatory purchase of the rams, the gentleman in front of me was served very harshly with one restriction; he needed a few more minutes to explain his concerns. The service employee wasn't interested in the fact that he bought something for 50 francs. And when I didn't have the right amount in cash, I was rudely told that next time I should have a 10 centime piece with me. Sorry Tulipan, I don't think there will be a next time.

I ate there a couple of time. It was ok, but never fantastic. The last time however, was less than ideal. I asked for a steak "very rare", it arrive well done. When I ask for a new one (saying again very rare), the waitress seemed annoyed, but send it back to the kitchen. The same piece of meat came back even more cooked, tough as an old boot. So yeah...

Cards are only accepted from 10 francs. Very backwards in this tourist place.

Had to wait a long time to order and pay

The chocolate melange made you laugh and the cream was just about to go sour and warm, I have no idea how long it sat around until we got it. The waiter with his unkempt hair half tied up didn't even say hello because of the unfriendliness in person, it was really an imposition, and we wanted to help the waiter with the dirty dishes. Others say thank you, but I think something like that should be in the cellar and not allowed to serve the guests. But luckily there are other coffees in Einsiedeln that are a lot better. The service ladies are much nicer and more attentive, which is the only positive thing.

Everything was great, great service, nice staff and delicious food. More is not possible.

Good apple strudel, nice service – again soon! Edit: The service is apparently hit and miss. ☹️

This café has an amazing location with a view right onto the church of Einsiedeln. We haven't tried the food but only came for drinks and dessert. One of the cakes was great, the other one too filled with alcohol. The tea and coffee were ok. We'd suggest coming here just for the location itself, ideally sitting outside.

It's a shame, we've been regular dining customers for over 25 years. We have been very disappointed for about 2 months. Sausage cheese salad garnished, prepared by the chef, half the portion as usual. There was no response to the notice. The portion of fries ordered is one time a soup plate full, the next time a small plate. We tried again last week. Ok, kitchen staff were missing, so we turned a blind eye. There was definitely only 1/4 Servelat on it, I had to look for cheese... But the price was constantly high and higher... we asked what was going on lately. Staff is stressed and apologizes. Got the coffee as a gift. The dessert we ordered wasn't the usual portion and even though we ordered it without cream, it came with cream. For better or for worse, we'll have to look around to find a new restaurant. A pity...

Very good food for not to much moneyxand a very nice view on the cathidral

A very pleasant cafe that's just not a cafe but they also serve lunch. In good weather, one can sit outside and enjoy the brilliant view of the biggest church in Switzerland- Einsiedeln. Seating inside is also lovely. A wide range on their menu card, pleasant, friendly service, food was excellent, and the ambience too. Very centrally located in Einsiedeln.

Unfortunately, due to holiday absences in the kitchen, only a limited menu

One star for the games corner and lunch... the staff are not friendly at all, after asking for the bill I had to wait for him to serve four tables before I could finally pay.

Fast and friendly service, good food, good price. I only have one question: Tulipan, the name of the restaurant, where does the name come from?

Good restaurant good and centrally located.

The food is very good, and it's also great for/with children because they can play there. However, the service is not extremely friendly and it is always very dirty. You can tell that they don't need it because of the tourists, unfortunately.

Fantastic lunch with amazing vegetarian and vegan options too!

Poor coordination. Children's corner available, but children are not welcome

Good food, service and good price.

We were there for coffee and are already looking forward to the next experience, but the first impression was very good. After a next visit, I will of course adjust the entry accordingly. What we really liked was the designed children's area with the ball pit and the slide

Very fine selection of daily plates - freshly prepared - very good price/performance ratio

A must if you are traveling with family in Einsiedeln. A cozy restaurant/café with a unique concept: a glass pane separates the dining area from the indoor playground. The children are always within sight and the parents can eat in a relaxed manner. Why doesn't every city have this :)? Very friendly service. Thanks!

Dq's most sophisticated, finest food, at a fair price. Thank you Tulipan. :)

The dishes are beautifully prepared and taste good too. However, the service is not always optimally organized. You can tell that the staff has a lot to do and seems very chaotic.

Very nice service. Good food. Nice playroom for kids. Reasonable prices.

Top address and in the affordable price segment

Consumption of cakes for almost 20.- and 8.- in the cafe We couldn't pay for our coffee with a card because cards are only accepted for orders over 10 euros. The cake must be picked up and paid for separately at the counter and the coffee must be paid for separately at the service. Then it has to be over 10.-. Incomprehensible!!!

Asked if they had a table for 7 people (in German) and their response was yes, I suppose. Tried to order downstairs and was served by two different staff members. One took part of my order and the other asked (3 times) if I was paying by card. 3 times I said yes, I was paying by card but needed to add to the order because I was ordering for 7 people. When she told me the price, I told her a fourth time "I need to order for 7 people" and she told me she couldn't add to the order anymore (for some reason)!!! In the end I told her it didn't matter and we left. Over complicated system and rude, unhelpful staff!!! Asked if they had a table for 7 people (in German) and the answer was yes, I suppose. Tried to order downstairs and was served by two different employees. One took part of my order and the other asked (3 times) if I was paying by card.

Very child friendly. Good food at fair prices

Great experience. Great service. Great food. Great desserts and pastries.

Healthy, creative and delicious dishes. Very friendly staff and everything is done with great attention to detail. Gladly again!

Rather dirty floors, even in toilets where regular checks were carried out.

We called to make a reservation and were told that you don't have to make a reservation because there is always a place. If it wasn't right, everything was full.

Delicious food, lots of organic and regional food. Service good, located right next to the monastery.

Excellent cuisine and impeccable service

Despite the many guests (some very impatient), the service staff remained calm and friendly👍

The red curry with vegetables is my favorite and I would happily order it again. Despite the hectic pace, the staff always remain friendly and attentive.

Very pleasant atmosphere, nice service, fine Italian food, can only recommend it.

Unfortunately, you can only pay with TWINT for an amount of CHF 10.00 or more...

At the Romantica Tulipan we received a very friendly welcome and service. The food, be it pizza or meat (we went there three times), was super tasty. We'd love to come back next year.

Staff overwhelmed, waiting too long to place an order, coffee, coke 5 each.' Ms. Very expensive

I've known tulipan for years but today's landlords are definitely in the wrong job. I can't understand how such a great café can be run so quickly with no standards and no skills. Waited 20 minutes for drinks 1 macchiato came in a cola glass, part of the 2 macchiato was spilled and instead of cleaning the table, napkins were thrown at us. We were there for about an hour and during that time we only saw customers complaining. I complained directly to the supposed boss, and her answer was that I had no idea and that I wasn't a hermit, so it wasn't important. Professional is something different. On the other hand, she advertises on the FB for staff searches with staff photos that don't exist - that's the last thing. I won't go there again as long as these people are there. I've never seen such an amateurishly run café in Switzerland. Absolutely not recommended, there are many restaurants in Einsiedeln that will serve you very nicely and quickly, even if you are not a Hermit. The hermits themselves are super nice and accommodating. There is an advantage!! It's not possible to do any more wrong!!!

Salad was good, meat was inedible, coffee and coupe were okay. I cannot recommend the location.

Actually a great location but the service is sometimes "moody". On the upper floor on the terrace "it's better not to sit because then you have to walk more" but you can sit but just walk.... You just sit down on the lower terrace. I once found the staff very attentive, but on another day with fewer guests they weren't there at all. I also saw a guest who got up and left after a long wait because he wasn't served. Fewer guests, the same staff... and yet somehow disorganized - a shame!

Markus Wehnert would be happy to come back

Good café restaurant, quiet place with a good selection. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.

Good service ,friendly,neat and tidy ,enjoyed

Despite the packed restaurant, very fast, extremely friendly and attentive service (smile included :-)!). Nice vegetarian offering. The food is very attractively presented on plates and tasted very good.

Food among the best in Einsiedeln, especially vegetarian. Options. Friendly service. Interior needs better air/ventilation and a little more cleanliness.

The food was delicious, the staff was funny and friendly, the location was great, with a view of the monastery.

Ate a coup Denmark 🇩🇰. The vanilla ice cream was good 👍 but the cold chocolate 🍫 wasn't a hit at all. The cleanliness in the toilets leaves a lot to be desired 🫣

Very good Einsiedler cheeseburger. Friendly welcome. Very beautiful terrace which overlooks the basilica square.

Food was excellent, great view of the monastery and very friendly staff 👍🏻

Nice service, good selection, food excellent. Highly recommended.

Great place, fantastic location, wonderful cuisine, fast service. That was a lot of joy and fun. Thanks!

Extremely fast hamburger + weird beer. Great service, great cuisine.

Super great food accompanied by very nice and competent service.

Great location with a view of the monastery. Great selection including many vegan options. Very friendly staff. The food tasted really good.

The fruits in the apple strudel were dark gray moldy. Only the service employee apologized, even though she couldn't do anything about it. She told us from the kitchen that the apple strudel must have already come from the supplier. Nobody responded to our letter to the landlord either. The one star is only given to the service employees. In this restaurant you are doubly lied to when you read the menu and have the facts in front of you: Our homemade strudel with apples from the farmer Fresh out of the oven every day (copied from the menu)

Very good offer and very friendly staff. Always worth a visit. Keep it up!

I really enjoy going to Tulipan! The service, compliance with BAG measures, drinks, as well as location and location deserve full marks. Only for the food the price-performance ratio isn't quite right. But it could also have been bad luck.

Very friendly staff and good food.

Very nice service and nice rooms. We recommend. Good Röschtis and Ziegerkrapfen on offer.

First the positive: Very lovely staff. Ordered the vegi burger with fries, cost Fr. 23.50! Price/performance ratio 1*. The 2nd ** as I said only because of the staff. About the burger: Practically no seasoning, carelessly added 1!!! Leaf lettuce. Said house sauce was a small mass in the middle on the vegie burger. Delicate side note: The Einsiedler Raclette Burger with beef is also available for Fr. 23.50! A bottomless impudence...

This was our second time at the Tulipan and we will always go there again when we are in Einsiedeln. It is very child-friendly with an indoor playground and a nice selection of children's books. The selection of cakes, pastries and patisserie is also excellent.

We had very good Rösti with eggs sunny side up. Good service.

Service, food, ambience... top! We (family with children) would love to come back!

Spectacular location next to and with a view of the impressive facade of the largest monastery in Switzerland. The food is good, but not a gourmet temple.

Fresh cuisine, friendly service. Spring-autumn with outdoor terrace. Children's play area.

My favorite restaurant in Einsiedeln. Always top cuisine and service. Pierre and his team always ensure a great experience!

It's a shame that Tulipan went bankrupt. They were top quality at reasonable prices

Friendly and attentive service, no long waits, good coffee and sweets...

Fine dishes and very friendly staff!

Fine curry dishes. Cool play area for the little ones.

Friendly place with a breathtaking view of the basilica. Hearty and delicious meals with lots of originality in the dishes. Also recommended for vegetarians with lots of choice. The staff is very pleasant.

Very friendly staff and good food. Keep coming back

Excellent blueberry tea Nice terrace overlooking the cathedral, excellent prices

Great location, views and very friendly staff.

emplacement idéal, accueil, cuisine et service irréprochable, nous avons beaucoup aimé...

Servizio ottimo. Cibo ottimo. Prezzi onestissimi

Intanto mi piace Einsiedel come paese e poi questo ristorante si trova proprio davanti alla chiesa

Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir hatten ausgezeichnete Cordon Bleu‘s mit Pommes. Sehr zum empfehlen!

Nach dem Disaster ein paar Stuffen weiter ( bei Rest.Pfauen) wurden wir hier, bei Tulipan freundlich empfangen, durften uns sogar auf die bis dahin noch geschlossenen " Terrasse" hinsetzen um die Sonne geniessen zu können. Wurden schnell und freundlich bedient. Da ich im Moment nicht alles essen darf, war meine Bestellung recht kompliziert. Dennoch liess die junge Frau im Service sich nichts anmerken und half mir sogar noch dabei. Später kam sie auch noch nachfragen, ob alles so geklappt hat. Das Essen war sehr gut, wir waren wirklich zufrieden. Vielen Dank!

Freundliches Personal und ein toller Kinder-Spielbereich!

(Traducido por Google) Maravillosa ubicación justo en la plaza del monasterio. El restaurante merece su quinta estrella con los siguientes tres puntos extra, que todo restaurante debe tomar en serio: 1. La sostenibilidad comienza, por ejemplo, con vegetales orgánicos finos. 2. Fortalecimiento de la región, en la que se tienen en cuenta principalmente productores regionales. 3. Gerentes amables y comprensivos que se sienten bien (personal de servicio) que también realizan un trabajo orientado a la solución con una sonrisa incluso en situaciones agitadas Conclusión: Una dirección con muchos buenos enfoques que quizás podrían ser un poco más consistentes en el área de la sostenibilidad y la ecología. (Original) Wunderbare Lokation gleich beim Klosterplatz. Den fünften Stern verdient sich das Restaurant mit folgenden drei Extra-Punkten, die sich eigentlich jede Gaststätte zu Herzen nehmen sollte: 1. Nachhaltigkeit beginnt beispielsweise mit feinem Bio-Gemüse. 2. Stärkung der Region, in dem hauptsächlich regionale Produzenten berücksichtigt werden. 3. Freundliche und sympathische Wohlfühl-Managerinnen (Service-Personal), die auch in hektischen Situationen mit einem Lächeln und lösungsorientierte Arbeit verrichten Fazit: Eine Adresse mit vielen guten Ansätzen, die vielleicht im Bereich der Nachhaltigkeit und Ökologie noch ein bisschen konsequenter sein könnte.

(Traducido por Google) Vale, esperé un poco el servicio ... (Original) In Ordnung, etwas lange auf den Service gewartet...

Freundlicher Gastgeber (Pierre), gute abwechslungsreiche, auch leicht verdauliche Kost, immer wieder gerne!

(Traducido por Google) Super amable camarera buen establecimiento excelente bebida (Original) Serveuse super sympa joli établissement boisson excellente

(Traducido por Google) Muy adecuado para niños, una gran zona de juegos para niños. El personal es genial; motivado, cortés y amable. ¡La comida también estaba súper buena! El restaurante es muy recomendable y ya estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita :) (Original) Sehr kinderfreundlich, eine tolle Spielecke für Kinder. Das Personal ist top; motiviert, zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Essen war ebenso super fein! Das Restaurant ist sehr empfehlenswert und ich freue mich bereits auf meinen nächsten Besuch :)

(Traducido por Google) bonita terraza en la plaza del monasterio; cuidado amistoso (Original) nette Terrasse auf dem Klosterplatz; freundliche Betreuung

(Traducido por Google) Buena comida ... condiciones amigables (Original) Essen gut..bedinung freuntlich😅

(Traducido por Google) La comida es excelente. La selección también. El servicio es muy amigable. (Original) Das Essen ist der Hammer. Die Auswahl auch. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich.

Hier gibt es das feinste Essen weit und breit. Unsere Kinder lieben es wenn wir ins Tulipan gehen denn es gibt eine tolle grosse Ecke nur für die Kinder zu spielen, viele Bücher und man kann sich selber beim Wasser und Sirup einschenken. Alles wird hausgemacht, die Tomatensuppe von Pierre ist die beste Tomatensuppe die ich kenne. Ausserdem probiert er gern neues aus und auch wenn man kein Fleisch ist, kommt man voll auf seine Kosten. Sehr lecker sind auch die Rösti Gerichte und die Pommes frites sowie die Currys. Herzliche und aufgestellte Mitarbeiterinnen und Pierre hat immer ein paar Minuten Zeit für einen kurzen Plausch.
