    Restaurant Engel in Kuessnacht am Rigi is a place I can highly recommend for various reasons : First of all it is a lovely half-timbered house with a long history dating back to the 14th century. It was also the place, where the "Eidgenossen" had their meeting first in 1424 and afterwards several times again untill 1712 A.D., so it was some sort of a "parliament" of the new union of the swiss counties (Kantone).
    In October 7th, 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe spent the night in the hotel.
    Take a look at my pictures , this hotel has a really beautiful architecture and great decorations under the roof !


    Favorite Dish: Restaurant Engel is a really beautiful old wooden building with cosy hotel-rooms and a great restaurant, with quite high prices. In general eating in a restaurant is quite expensive in Switzerland, one of the cheapest dishes I found on the menu was a porc-Cordon-bleu with french fries and vegetables for 28 sfr / 18 Euros !!
    A very fine 6-course-menu is available for 94 sfr / 62 Euros
    a simple pumpkin-soup with curry wass 10 sfr / 6,50 Euros

     Interesting the way you put so many different countries and cities on on e Europe page... I spent 3 nights in Brugge and could have stayed for another 3 with pleasure.
