Autumn is here. The days are getting shorter and the evenings longer. Outside, the forests are turning bright colors, the air is getting clearer, and cozy times are returning. It's the time to make yourself comfortable indoors, eat out, and discover new moments of pleasure. Whether it's a stylish dinner, traditional delicacies, or hearty regional specialties, there's something for every taste. We've put together five culinary highlights from our catchment area that are perfect for the season and will leave you wanting more.
VICO Brasserie
Brasserie VICO is a place where French joie de vivre and Alpine down-to-earthness blend harmoniously. In an elegant setting, dishes are served that are modern in their interpretation yet firmly rooted in the region. Creative menus, exquisite ingredients, and a touch of French sophistication make a visit here an experience for all the senses.
Culinarium Alpinum
Where Capuchin monks once dined in quiet contemplation, there is now a lively meeting place for connoisseurs: the Culinarium Alpinum combines venerable monastery walls with contemporary cuisine. With an edible landscape of over 250 rare herbs, berries, and fruits, an Alpine cheese cellar, a wine cellar, and a monastery shop, regionality comes to life here. A place that nourishes body and soul.
End of the world
From the train station to the “end of the world”: the walk to the restaurant combines nature, tranquility, and enjoyment. Along idyllic paths through woods and meadows, past a grotto and chapel, the route takes just over an hour to reach a family-run establishment that delights guests with its warm hospitality and regional cuisine. Once you arrive here, you'll want to stay.
Meringue
Crispy, light, legendary: meringues from Meiringen are much more than just a dessert, they are a piece of Swiss cultural history. This sweet treat has been delighting young and old alike for over 400 years. Today, heavenly light creations ranging from classic to surprising are made in the heart of Meiringen, inviting you to enjoy them yourself or give them as gifts.
Seiler cheese
Deep inside the mountain, far away from time and everyday life, up to 90,000 cheese wheels mature into incomparable specialities in the former military tunnel below the Giswilerstock. Using milk from the region, a great deal of craftsmanship and patience, Seiler Käse produces internationally acclaimed cheeses, from creamy raclette to innovative creations. A piece of Obwalden cheese artistry that is best experienced directly in Giswil.
