Restaurant Alpina

We visited Rigi Kulm over Easter and on our way down decided to have lunch at Kaltbad. Not having much of references we liked the friendly cozy look of the terrace of this restaurant near the train station with beautiful views of the mountains which also looked decent but not posh. So we took the only big table (we were 5) on the terrace. We were immediately greeted by the waitress who brought us the menu and nicely clarified some questions on the same. As we made up our minds regarding what we wanted to order, we realized that despite of being a very sunny day it was slightly cold for us, so we moved to the restaurant inside and took a big table there. The waiter inside came to take our order and then we explained him that my nephew is allergic to eggs, so the mixed salad should not have any eggs. He said that was no problem and went inside. Food came relatively quick. When he came with the salad he then realized that the dressing could contain egg (probably some kind of French sauce,) so he decided to take it inside and bring a new one with a different dressing (Italian.) Salad and soups (Goulash and Gersten) were very tasty and well prepared. Main dishes (Schnitzel, Rösti and Sausages) were big portions and again tasty. Although at times the 2 waiters seemed to be very busy (one was taking care of the terrace, the other one alternating inside dining room and terrace as well) you could tell they payed attention to all their customers and tables. Prices are as per Swiss standards (in our case, around 160 CHF for 5 people.)

eating was not a highlight, but in order. that you have to pay for a glass of water 2.50 chf, we found quite nicely happy. the fitness plate with pouletbrust was quantity (salat quantity) rather small, the rösti were ok. the top plate, which was not on the map, has quite beaten to book at 10.50 chf (a few apple carvings, 3 melon carvings, a kiwi, half a banana, half an orange for 3 people.) and that was not exactly the same with the praised "regional and seasonal cuisine".

After a nice hike up to the top of the mountain for amazing views. Four of us had Rosti and beers on the outdoor dining area and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The weather, low crowds, service, and especially the food was great. We did not stay in the hotel.
