Impressive building overlooking the valleys and the mountains. The interior is very modern looking as well and you can see the chef and the cooks work from the open kitchen.
Of course, the views are amazing.
Took 10/15mins to give us the menu but then everything was more than fine
Got to spend 30ish€ on the cableway if you want to eat there clean and fresh

Most scenic lunch I’ve ever had. Fantastic view, amazing food and great service.
Would 100% recommend, but be mindful of only being able to get there through a cable car and not by driving.

The location looks great, the drinks were good, but the employee who served us has a lot to work on customer satisfaction. I wanted to take a picture with the view and he said that I should stay in the part which served only drinks. Not even a smile, he was not at all happy with the fact that the kids have not decided quickly what to order.
