The most spectacular view anywhere near Bern or Thun absolutely stunning! Be sure you get a seat in the gourmet restaurant (Cayenne) and allow yourself enough time to sample his gourmet menu.
Rolf Fuchs won a world cooking championship as a chef and has worked with and been coached by some of Switzerland's best chefs, including Philippe Rochat, Daniel Bumann and Robert Speth. His cuisine is based on a classical French foundation, augmented by modern technology and his boundless creativity. He's an artist: His paintings adorn the gourmet restaurant, hinting at his culinary artistry, which is as colourful as his paintings.
In a word, his cuisine is surprising. You don't really know what you're getting into when you first visit the Fuchs family's restaurant, but you'll never forget the food or the view.
They don't have a dedicated pastry chef, but make very good desserts. His crème brulée beats all others in terms of beauty and creativity, a real eye-catcher! A molecular (i.e. frozen in liquid nitrogen) ball of yoghurt, flavoured with ginger, orange and mint was another spectacular surprise. His brownies, made with Valrhona Grand Cru couverture from France, are the best we've had so far even better than mine!
Order the special pralines you'll be surprised!
The service in the gourmet restaurant is absolutely perfect, flawless in every way.
