What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Faulensee Lakeside Promenade for its serene beauty and the welcoming atmosphere of Bistro Promenade. The homemade soups are a standout, complemented by friendly service. While generally a peaceful spot, it can become busier during peak times.
"We went there at around 4:30pm and afraid they won’t have us as they close at 5, but the waitress welcomed us. And she’s super friendly and nice. We ordered pumpkin soup and mushroom soup all served with bread. Both are really delicious. She said it’s all homemade soup, and there aren’t many soup restaurants in Switzerland. I’m very happy that I came to this place."
