Eiger Guesthouse Restaurant

Best place to eat in Murren during the off season. Reasonably priced, great staff, delicious food. The salad was amazing.
Also, the quaint little bar is fun and great place to chat it up with the other folks staying Murren.

The old lady owner of this inn is a fraud. I booked a room from USA but once I got there, which is located up the mountain where no cars can access, she tells me that she overbooked it. How can you overbook if you didn’t sell the room at a higher price to someone else? This may have happened because I was expected to pay at the hotel and perhaps she felt that I might not arrive, so just gave the room away. She transferred me to another place from which she may get a referral fee for it because the other place didn’t participate with Expedia. Wondering if she overbooks intentionally to shift business to other hotels for a referral fee. Not sure but in all my life, overbooking has never occurred to me. But this owner told me that it’s no big deal as if she does this often and just wanted our family to go to another place. I was a little upset but having a little kid with me, I just wanted to get a place to rest so had no choice but to oblige to her master plan.
When I returned home to USA, I called Expedia to complain about this hotel’s over booking incident. Expedia was surprised that happened since this hotel had an agreement with them etc.
Few days later, I was told by Expedia that this old fraudulent owner named Ema, told them that she didn’t overbook at all and that it was me who didn’t want to stay there. Imagine that. A complete lie. Had she told the truth about overbooking, surely Expedia will not work with them. But because this old fraudulent lady named ema wants to keep attracting unsuspecting guests from Expedia for her to financial by conducting shady practices, she decided to tell a complete lie. This lady is a disgusting person and wonder if she will be happy with the way she lived her life and the person she was on her deathbed. I just can’t get over the way she lied. She’s really a devil in disguise. Any person with some morals or conscience would not have resorted to the lie she told Expedia, unless they are consumed and obsessed with making money at all costs. Live your life right lady! Are you proud of the way you make money? Are you proud of yourself when facing your kids or grandkids of who you are as a person? You are not going to live forever. Live your life with some morals. You can’t take the money with you.
I feel sorry for you that need to resort to those shady tactics and lie to make a few bucks. Your behavior is really reprehensible and you as a person is ugly inside and out. I really hope you respond to this because I curious what other lie you’ll come up with to defend yourself.

I still dream of the Caprese salad that I had at the Eiger Guesthouse Restaurant. We had the nicest dinner here after a wonderful day at the Jungfrau. Our waiter was most attentive and helpful. I had had a huge lunch so, I was only wanting a very light meal. I was so happy to see a small Caprese salad on the Eiger’s menu. I wish I had dined at the Eiger before my last night in Murren, so I could have another Caprese salad. The Eiger’s Caprese salad had the best mozzarella I’ve ever tasted drizzled with the most delectable balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil. Switzerland has some of the best balsamic vinaigrette’s I’ve ever had. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Switzerland to have a dish that has balsamic vinaigrette. I also loved the bar at the Eiger Guesthouse and highly recommend it as a place to spend a quiet night in Murren.

We just got back from a week stay at the guest house and it was wonderful! We had drinks there almost every night and ate dinner there a few times. It defiantly is one of the best in mürren and priced right. The staff is amazing, and extremely helpful. I would defiantly recommend them for the restaurant and for staying in the hotel!

If you do dine here, know that it’s one of the better restaurants in Murren, no doubt about it! I had the Rosti on one occasion and linguini on the other. Both times I was satisfied, I found the food to be very savory and filling.
On the first night, service was exceptional and I really enjoyed the atmosphere… on the second night I felt forgotten and my original perception of the appeal took a very inconsistent turn. The food almost made up for it until another mishap… on the first night I was not charged for water (tap water), on the second night I was charged for the tap water (2 francs total).
It was my fault that I didn’t catch it until later in the hotel room. Maybe it’s a cultural difference but if the restaurant had advised me that tap water was going to cost money or if the communication was better the food would more than make up for the slow service (I am patient after all, ha!)
HOWEVER, because of the slower service and lack of communication, Eiger’s restaurant left a semi-​sour taste in my mouth – and that’s the difference between the 3 stars and a ⁴⁄₅ stars.
