Reviews of Ottoburg
Robert B
Sat down here randomly, checked the google reviews after. Very surprised. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. Had a very tasty rosti with ratatouille. Veggies fresh, good sauce with a crispy and buttery rosti. Perfect after a long hike.

Sorry to say this but food in this place used to be good and tasty. Today we were disappointed. The meat had no taste and way too overcooked. The käsespätzle was ok but also missing some spices. Service was unbelievably bad. Completely ignoring us and when she actually came to the table her face was so angry that I thought we should pay and leave before I make a scene. You need to smile and greet ...
