What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Fischer's Fritz boasts a stunning lakeside location that creates a relaxed holiday atmosphere. While the ambiance and views are consistently praised, the food quality and service often receive mixed reviews, with some finding it disappointing for the price. Despite these criticisms, many return for the unique setting and the overall casual charm.
"We were too lucky to land here before a wakeboard session on the lake. Super cool terrace on the lawn, very tasty and healthy dishes to share, and the waiters were very numerous and friendly. Best place near the lake on summer days for sure."
Dries Roekaerts
"Cozy camping place. We got a Safari tent, for me and my daughter. The weather was cold and rainy, so we couldn’t enjoy the whole experience, but my daughter was happy. There is a small playground for kids.
The tent was cold at night, and it could have been a bit cleaner. It had many bugs inside, and spiderwebs… is understandable since it’s in somewhat in nature, but it feels that for the price of a Safari tent, it could be better taken care of."
Julio Angulo
"Despite the food quality is below Zurich average, the place is magnificent.
Perfect place to spend an afternoon having drinks next to the lake on a super cozy place that feels great.
Lots of tables so no need to make a reservation"

Throw a sweater around your shoulders, grab a glass of rosé, and park yourself at a picnic table for vegetable crudité, bowls of truffled pommes frites, and crunchy fried fish like pike, char, perch, and trout, all line-caught in Swiss lakes.
