Restaurant Briand AG - Albinen

Situated at midlestation Flachen lift. Suggests good offers and very tasty on daily menu, 3 types of soupes and pastas, entrecotes, steaks, sausages, salad, 2 dessert types. Excellent terrasse with view on mountains.

Der Selbstbedienungsbereich sieht sehr schön und einladend aus. Doch leider ist der Boden mit den Skischuhen kaum begehbar. Er ist extrem rutschig und ohne mich an der Theke festzuhalten gab es kein durchkommen. Meiner Ansicht nach müsste eine Antirutschmatte gelegt werden um mögliche Ausrutscher zu verhindern und sicher durch die Selbstbedienung zu gelangen.Leider war die Dame an der Kasse sehr unfreundlich.

The best feature is the amazing panoramic view and the convenience to have a meal half-way between Rinderhuette and Flashen. The food is ok, the roestis a bit too oily and not crispy and the menu altogether lacks originality.

Albinen, resp. Flaschen ist insbesondere im Winter stark frequentiert, so auch das Restaurant der Familie Briand. Hier kocht der Chef persönlich. Der Service und auch die Gerichte sind von bester Qualität. Die Terasse ist sehr schön, mit wunderbarer Aussicht.

There are two restaurants on the slopes at Mittelstation - the Alpengruss and Briand. On a day in peak season the Alpengruss, with its table service, was full, so we visited Briand. Here there were quite a few tables available (a clue, maybe....). It is self service. Being busy, the staff on the counter were rushed off their feet and it all felt a bit stressed. You order, pay and then wait for your food. Unfortunately my order went missing and when I left my tray to look for someone on the restaurant floor to help, the tray was whisked away, and I can only say that the response to the mini debacle was rude (my fault, I shouldn't have left my tray unattended) - the female staff were kind, the male member in charge was clearly stressed and rather short on charm. 25 minutes from ordering to having the order fulfilled... it doesn't really work, Briand! However, the food when it came was fine.
