Stern is located on the peaceful but central Franziskanerplatz and specializes in modern Swiss cuisine, using products from local farms. It offers a menu per season and has a starter and dessert 'shooting star' concept, which is presented in taster jars. This provides the opportunity to try various dishes, such as Engelberg sausage salad with grapes, nuts and brie or for dessert pear sorbet or vermicelli (sweet chestnut in a spaghetti form). The atmosphere in Stern lingers somewhere between casual and smart and the service is both professional and friendly.
