点评:The setting is not fair at all. This restaurant café is perched on the side of a mountain beneath a towering cliff, with spectacular views across the valley. Aescher is worth visiting for the scenery alone.
Not surprisingly, it was quite crowded on the Saturday afternoon we visited. Ever since it appeared on the cover of National Geographic, the secret is definitely out. I first came here years ago when there were only a handful of tables and a very limited menu. Those days are gone, but in this case some of the changes have been for the better.
The menu is now much more extensive, and, more importantly, the food is genuinely good. They have Appenzeller beer and much more, but I opted for a hot chocolate with a heavy splash of liquor that was absolutely perfect during the hike down to Seealpsea.
The highlight was the chocolate cake with beetroot. I know that combination sounds questionable, but it was rich, moist, and delicious, served with both whipped cream and ice cream. It may have been the best surprise of the day. Waaaay better than my airplane granola bar.
You'll probably have to share the experience with plenty of others, and finding a seat can take a little patience. But if you can grab a table, this place is absolutely worth the stop.
Few cafés in the world can offer a view—or a slice of cake—quite like this.
Oh. And they have bathrooms.
They also had colourful chickens and a rooster roaming around the tables, scavenging for food.

不出所料,我们周六下午去的时候,餐厅里人头攒动。自从它登上《国家地理》杂志封面后,就彻底声名鹊起了。我几年前第一次来这里,当时只有寥寥几张桌子,菜单也十分有限。如今,情况已大不相同,但有些变化却是朝着更好的方向发展。
现在的菜单更加丰富,更重要的是,食物也确实美味。他们供应阿彭策尔啤酒和其他许多饮品,但我选择了一杯加了大量烈酒的热巧克力,在徒步前往西阿尔卑斯山的途中,这杯热巧克力简直是完美的享受。
最令人惊喜的是甜菜根巧克力蛋糕。我知道这种搭配听起来有点奇怪,但它口感浓郁湿润,味道鲜美,还搭配了鲜奶油和冰淇淋。这或许是当天最大的惊喜。比我飞机上的格兰诺拉麦片棒好吃太多了!
你可能得跟很多人一起分享这份体验,找个座位可能需要点耐心。但如果你能抢到一张桌子,这家店绝对值得一去。
世界上很少有咖啡馆能提供像这样的美景——或者像这样美味的蛋糕。
哦,对了,他们还有洗手间。
他们还养了一些色彩斑斓的小鸡,一只公鸡在桌子周围溜达,四处觅食。
