Nico's

Abdolutely delicious food, very fresh and surprisingly fast service! Always a house (free) appetizer, the home-made bread is great as well as the wine. A feast! And if you sit outside, the magnificent view is included. I don't understand how this restaurant doesn't have Michelin stars, unless it's above them! Recommended wholeheartedly.

We were very happy that we chose Nico's for our dinner in Kandersteg. First of all, they were open until late, which cannot be said about any other places in the town. We really appreciated the kind staff, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful view through the window, and good house wine. It's very expensive, as most places in Switzerland, but here at least you have a chance of enjoying the meal as it's quite high quality. As a lovely surprise we received a wonderful soup apetizer with some bread and butter. Our main dishes were fish from Frutigen, which, sadly, was not very flavourful, but the meat dish (schweins-duett) from the 2-dish tasting menu was incredible, so I highly recommend going for that one! House wine was also perfect, the only thing that shocked us was the price for water (8.50) so probably best to stick to wine 😀 P.S. The candle did not come with the dish ;)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Had an unforgettable dinner here! I ordered the steak — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The atmosphere felt cozy and authentic, and the service was friendly without being rushed. The highlight was definitely the view: stunning Swiss mountains all around, especially beautiful at sunset. A place I’d gladly come back to!

I celebrated here my birthday dinner and the food and wine was very delicious. Especially delicious we found gnocchi 😻

Great restaurant merging some old Swiss options with a modern flare to the food and the entire ambiance of the place. We shared a Burrata Salad that was excellent - might have been the best of the two month trip in Europe. Both ordered a chicken dish as the main and it was above average. We would come back and eat here again for sure.

Excellent modern food that pays homage to the local traditions while also providing a refreshing departure from the typical Swiss fare. The soups were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Staff was friendly but service was slow. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more upscale meal (and have some time to spare) - you can do a la carte or build your own tasting menu.

Amazing views and excellent food. The service was extremely friendly but a bit chaotic. We enjoyed our evening there 😁

A fine dining restaurant (probably the best in Kandersteg) with a small menu. The dishes were convincing. We were here during the game season and especially the venison stew (Hirsch-Pfeffer) from local game was excellent. The prices are also reasonable. However, the service and ambience do not quite keep up with the cuisine.

We strolled the town on a brisk evening near 9pm looking for chocolate fondue. We had already called several restaurants in the area and all had said no. The maitre d' at Nico's greeted us warmly and after a brief chat with her chef came back with a smile and assured us the chocolate fondue would be out shortly. We sat at a table against a decorative bookshelf lined with books and had a nice view of the outdoor landscape through a nearby window. We each ordered a minestrone soup made with herbs from the garden! Fresh and so flavorful. The fondue came as promised and we were elated a dal glad we ventured out and stumbled upon Nico's!
