This place has an awesome setting with a great view of Zurich and the lake. Our group arrived by cable car and had a short walk to the Restaurent. Our meal was a pre-selected one that included an array of traditional canapés outside on the patio(that has the great panoramic view mentioned earlier). For mains we had a mixed salad followed by cheese fondu. It was a fun experience but had to call it a day after filling up on fondue coated brown bread cubes. A variety of options were available to finish off but given we were the last table to order in our large party, they had run out of apple strudel. The view is worth the visit and sure more options are available on the menu that would provide you with an authentic dining experience, fitting with the great surroundings.

Wir waren gestern zu Gast im Felsenegg für ein Fondue mit Freunden. Leider war das mit Abstand, das schlechteste Fondue, das wir jemals hatten. Von Käse keine Spur, dafür sehr viel Maisstärke im Gaumen und die Zusammensetzung war so flüssig, es glich einer Suppe. Wo blieb der Käse lieber Koch? Für einen stolzen Preis pro Person von CHF100.- inkl. Vorspeise und Wein, erwartet man doch etwas Qualität. Das einzige wofür es sich gelohnt hat ins Felsenegg zu wandern, war die atemberaubende Aussicht.

Don’t go here for food. I thought it would be a great idea to take the cable car up with my husband and eat at this restaurant… total ripoff. First, you need a travel card/pass that’s worth a whole day: 20 $ for both of us. Then the cable ride is cool. The hiking options, also cool. This restaurant: you might need a reservation if you go during a busy time. We ordered: a beer, glass of wine, and the fondue. Note: the menu states the fondue is 29.50, that’s for one person… so for us two it was 69 $ only for the fondue. It was a bowl of salty cheese that was barely edible. It tasted like a drunk guy vomited cheese into a bowl. It came with stale wheat bread. It was our worst experience in Switzerland… expensive even for Zurich standards.

We moved here about a year ago and discovered this relaxing restaurant during one of our hikes along the Uetliberg trails. Felsenegg is south of Uetliberg, closer to Adliswil. You can hike there or take the charming gondola ride from the small town of Adliswil. We have now been several times and enjoy sharing this restaurant with our friends who never knew it existed. It has great views looking down onto Lake Zurich, and on clear days can easily see the Alps in the distance. They serve typically swiss/german cuisine with the standard raclette and fondue in the winter. But we love all their summer options as well. One of our favorites is the fried fish. Perfectly cooked, not too oily and soft tender white fish. They have so many great swiss dishes, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Check it out! It’s beautiful, inside and out!

The journey up to Felsenegg is the key reason to enjoy this restaurant. After hiking up or taking the gondola, you can enjoy beautiful views of Zurich, the lake and the Alps from their patio. However, be prepared for an expensive menu. Entrees are about 26CHF. The much touted apple strudel with custard is 14CHF. The apple strudel was delicious with a flakey crust and raisins, drowned in warm vanilla custard. Quick tip: unless you’re prepared to pay for water(we were charged for tap water at 5CHF per 750ML. Bottled water is 6CHF per 750ML.), bring your own water to the restaurant.

Getting there is on its own a good reason to reward yourself with a good cheesy meal. It can get quite busy inside, but you can wait outside having a been and enjoying the splendid view, or on sunny days, stay outside to eat, it’s a must ! Service is nice, and if you are not a native Schwyzertutch speaker, make the effort and say a few words, the staff will love it !

Wir waren hier mit der Firma zur Feier des Jahrsauftakts. Empfangen wurden wir mit einem Apero(Glühwein, Zwiebelringli und Gemüse-Crostini) auf der verschneiten Terrasse. Leider war es zu nebelig um einen guten Ausblick auf Zürich zu erhaschen. Dies hat sich erst in den folgenden Stunden gelegt und der Blick ist echt phänomenal. Im Restaurant gings dann mit dem Fleischfondue weiter. Hierzu gab es 4 verschiedene Fleischsorten und einige Beilagen, wobei letztere ruhig reichhaltiger hätten ausfallen können. Ebenfalls hat der ausgeschenkte Weißwein überzeugen können.

Sehr schönes und uriges Restaurant, erreichbar u.a. via Seilbahn. Schöné Aussicht auf Zürich. Sehr schmackhafte Speisen, u.a. natürlich das unvermeidliche Käse-Fondue. Guter Wein aus der Schweiz. Nette Bedienung.
