Stadtkeller Swiss Folklore Restaurant is undeniably geared towards tourists, but that’s what makes it fun. The Swiss people rarely practice traditional customs like yodeling in their everyday lives anymore, so the Stadtkeller is a must if you’re looking for a taste of traditional Swiss folklore and culture. The Stadtkeller, dating back to the 12th century, is the only place in Switzerland that offers this unique experience.

The four course meal is authentically Swiss, serving a Swiss cheese fondue appetizer, fresh salads, veal sausage and bratwurst with Swiss Rösti potatoes, and meringue with applesauce and strawberry ice cream for dessert.

The food is great, but everyone comes for the entertainment. Talented individuals dressed in traditional Swiss outfits singing folk music, yodeling, flag throwing and blowing ten-foot alphorns will be a show you won’t soon forget. The upbeat, interactive atmosphere might even land you on stage to dance or try to yodel. Authentic experiences like the ones you’ll find at the Stadtkeller are crucial if you want to have fun engaging with the culture around you and get the most out of your adventures in another country!
