We were in restaurant magdalena as our highlight evening meal and a celebration of two birthdays. The 7 courses menu were indefeatable it was a mix of flavours and tastes. The chef have to have a huge experience in order to get to this level of creation. We enjoyed every bite and every course. It was worththe 3 hours we spent in the restaurant. Magdalena is a great adress for celebrations.

(Translated by Google) In Vitznau, all the decorated bosses must have taken off their hats to Dominik Hartmann for a long time. What a wonderful ambience and what ingenious masterpieces from the kitchen. Incredibly gifted and talented, the young chef, how subtle and precise all his dishes, finesse and elegance in their purest form. Mr. Heller was obviously just as enthusiastic and the Michelins will soon put two stars on Dominik and his wonderful wife. The wine list can undoubtedly improve a bit, the selection is pleasant and modest, also in terms of price. For such a restaurant, only open since May 2020, but completely adequate. The idea of ​​serving the Bordelaiser Cannelés with coffee was excellent. Only here is a need for action indicated, these are too stiff and glassy, ​​we missed the delicate and fluffy-rhumous something. The spirit in the house is simply wonderfully lovely, a heart-touching symbiosis. Dominik Hartmann took a moment to say goodbye to us - I was very impressed by his fine, modest, differentiated and lovely-calm manner. Trės très fin and can only be recommended, Grande Classe! 10.10.20: With so much quality and class, we traveled again from Bern to Rickenbach a week ago because of this magical enthusiasm from back then. The components in the menu have now of course been adjusted for seasonal reasons, but the brilliance and ingenuity in the dishes is unchanged and unforgettable at the highest level. Dominik Hartmann is a sauce wonder, for us a true guru and king. Such wonderful essences and combinations with their freshness, precision and loveliness are pure balm for the soul, which are only rarely found in so-called star restaurants, including in France and Italy. Stylistically just as he is, not loud and engaging, but fine, discreet, warm-hearted and profound. One of the best addresses for purists, service staff and food a true symbiosis, we will be back very soon. (Original) In Vitznau haben all die dekorierten Chefs bestimmt schon lange den Hut vor Dominik Hartmann gezogen. Was für eine wunderbare Ambiente und was für genialste Meisterwerke aus der Küche. Unglaublich begnadet und talentiert der junge Chef, wie subtil und präzise all seine Gerichte, Finesse und Eleganz in Reinform. Herr Heller war offenbar ebenso begeistert und die Michelins werden Dominik und seiner wunderbaren Frau sicher schon bald zwei Sterne aufkleben. Die Weinkarte kann sich zweifellos noch etwas verbessern, die Selektion ist sympathisch-bescheiden, auch preislich. Für ein solches Lokal, erst offen seit Mai 2020, aber völlig adäquat. Hervorragend die Idee, dann zum Kaffe die Bordelaiser Cannelés zu servieren. Einzig hier ist etwas Handlungsbedarf indiziert, diese sind zu steif und glasig, das zarte und flauschig-rhumige haben wir etwas vermisst. Der Geist im Haus ist aber einfach wunderbar-lieblich, eine herzberührende Symbiose. Dominik Hartmann nahm sich kurz Zeit um sich von uns zu verabschieden - seine feine, bescheidene, differenzierte und lieblich-ruhige Art haben mich sehr beeindruckt. Trės très fin und nur zu empfehlen, Grande Classe! 10.10.20: Bei so viel Güte und Klasse reisten wir vor einer Woche nochmals von Bern nach Rickenbach wegen dieser magischen Begeisterung von damals. Die Komponenten im Menu wurden saisonbedingt mittlerweile natürlich angepasst, die Brillanz und Genialität in den Gerichten ist aber unverändert und unvergesslich auf höchstem Niveau. Dominik Hartmann ist ein Saucen-Wunder, für uns ein wahrlicher Guru und König. Solche wunderbaren Essenzen und Kombinationen mit ihrer Frische, Präzision und Lieblichkeit sind purer Seelenbalsam, die auch in sog. Sterne-Restaurants, auch in Frankreich und Italien, nur höchst selten anzutreffen sind. Stilistisch so wie er selber ist, nicht laut und einnehmend, sondern fein, diskret, warmherzig und tiefgründig. Für Puristen eine der besten Adressen, Service-Personal und Essen eine wahre Symbiose, wir werden sehr bald wieder anreisen.

Magdalena was wonderfull Experience, Young Chef Dominique Hartmann at his Best,with Very Efficient Team Excellent preparations of Courses with different Vegetables,infusing Modern techniques...super presentation,Textures & Taste... Great Experience...Not to Miss.

The interior of the restaurant is very modest and simple. I did not expect much because i saw some pictures on Google before coming and wasnt even sure if the vibe will be good for a romantic dinner with my husband, but when we entred and wow. I was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant has a beautiful view on mountains. The food looked amazing. Every dish looked like a small garden on a plate and tested delicious, we had alcoholic paring as well as non alcoholic. Both were great and really complimented the food perfectly. The funny thing is we did not know that Magdalena is a vegetarian restaurant. After the main course we asked the waitress if there will be any meat dish so she told us they are a vegetarian restaurant. We did not even mind. Honestly the food was delicious and we were so satisfied that we did not even missed the meat.

(Translated by Google) It was incredibly good, we would love to come back (Original) Es war unglaublich gut, wir kommen gerne wieder

It is definitely worth the drive, the money, and the 5* it already has!!! Unique culinary experience! :) Super polite staff, a magnificent combination of flavors and colors 🎨 Amazing job 🙌🏽

Incredibly creative cuisine in a beautiful setting. Talented young chef extracts complex flavors from organic, local produce. Wine pairings are excellent and there is also a non-alcoholic pairing available. A superb and very friendly team made our dinner a truly wonderful experience. Definitely worth the visit!

It was a perfect combination of customer service, and waiter and waitresses’ knowledge of the menu, meeting the chef, the artistic design of dishes and packaging and the local sourcing of ingredients. There were many creative and artistic dishes. Everything was well appreciated. We didn’t realise it was a pure vegetarian though that was not a problem at all.

I visited this place on 15th May 2022. It was a very pleasant and unique experience. Staff of Restaurant was very polite and knew in minute details about their very innovative drinks and preparations and delightful presentation. They were keen to explain ingredients and sometimes they asked us to find out ingredients of non alcoholic beverages by tasting it. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Strongly recommend to visit.

Top in every respect - relaxed atmosphere paired with highest culinary sensations. Thanks to entire team for all the pleasant evenings we could enjoy here so far!

I've visited this place last night. The experience was amazing. 6 course surprise menu was exceptional! Also the service is the best class. I strongly recommend restaurant Magdalena!

Very modern, high-end fine dining experience with flavourful food and excellent service.

Absolute perfection! Thank you for such a fantastic evening, our family had a lovely time.

Amazing, crearive and delicious dining experience at this 2-Michelin star vegetarian restaurant. We also really enjoyed the non-alcoholic drink pairing.

I am always impressed in Switzerland to see how high the level is and at the same time how young the chefs are. Magdalena is one of them. We are not vegetarian, but we enjoyed the veggie experience. The food was excellent, the setting super nice with a beautiful view to the Schwyz region. The Chef came at the beginning to serve and present the canapés and at the end to check whether we liked the experience (which we did, and it's always a pleasure to exchange a few words with the Chef!). Great options of non-alcoholic or alcoholic pairing (or you can get a mix of both, so you don't get drunk before driving :-) ). Special mention to our waitress Melanie who was super kind, efficient, and friendly: everything we love in such kind of restaurant!

The views are amazing and service was flawless. I did the 7-course lunch menu with the alcohol-free pairings. I normally do the wine pairing or nothing at all but in this case, the alcohol-free pairing is my recommendation. Instead of sugary mock-tails, these are designed to compliment each course and it works refreshingly well. Head Chef Dominik served a few of the courses. His aura is very much a skilled artisan vs the typical head chef persona you can sense from a mile away. Prompting for some feedback I struggled to come up with a favourite dish or the weakest one. Everything was just so very impressive and the amount of taste he manages to extract from humble ingredients is at another level. If you have never done a vegetarian tasting menu then this is the one you can start with. Just like the drinks are not normal cocktails with the alcohol removed, the food here is not meat-based recipes with meat removed. The dishes are crafted from the bottom up as vegetarian and promote the individual ingredients perfectly. Nothing feels like it is missing. One of the snacks served before the courses somehow even tasted like a tree I was admiring the scent of the previous day. Getting there is simple from Zurich with two trains and a bus and worth doing just for the views along the way. There is a gondola station just around the corner that takes you up the mountain but it was closed at the time I went (outside of tourist season).

Would say this was an amazing experience ! We had the 7 course menu and enjoyed from the beginning till the end. Great taste experience and had a wonderful evening. Only feedback I could give is that the service could pay a bit more attention on refilling your wine. Never the less it was perfect thank you 👍🏾

Brilliant restaurant that serves amazing vegetarian food. Service is top notch.

Tl;dr: exceptional food, great service and atmosphere; in the running for the best dining experience of my life. If you have the means and opportunity to eat here, do so. My partner and I dined here to celebrate her birthday. It was our first time at a 2* restaurant, and both of us got the full 7-course menu. Every dish was meticulously crafted and balanced, with intense, complex flavor profiles and impeccable presentation. Highlights included the cheese and fig mustard pate a choux (part of a snack to start), the fennel amuse-bouche, and the corn & chanterelle soup. That being said, a first-rate quality was maintained across every single dish, making it nearly impossible to pick favorites. I am not vegetarian but did not miss meat or fish once, so I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to any (non-vegan) food lovers. The kitchen was extremely generous in serving us multiple additional plates or courses beyond the listed 7. If the quality wasn't so incredible it almost certainly would have been more than either of us could have eaten in a single sitting, but we happily cleared every plate. We both opted for the wine pairing, but were encouraged to try each wine first, and were able to skip some glasses at our leisure. We only paid for the glasses we actually drank, which is an idea I hope to see more in the future. The wines we did drink all had unique backgrounds as explained by our server and paired with the dishes well. Our servers were kind and attentive, and we are grateful that they were willing to speak English with us as my partner is still learning German. The head chef Dominik Hartmann personally served us the first and last dishes. He seemed friendly and approachable, and we were happy to be able to personally thank him for this outstanding meal. Of course such a meal does not come cheap, but given the sheer quanity of unique dishes and the high cost of restaurants in Switzerland the price of the food genuinely seemed fair. My one criticism would be the practice of charging a significant amount for water, which has less to do with this establishment and more with Swiss (or nothern/central European?) restaurant culture in general. I don't expect bottled water to be free, but 9 chf for an unlabelled carafe of still water is a lot, even (or especially?) when you are already paying several hundred for dinner. The restaurant decor is simple yet sophisticated, with and understated refinement completely devoid of pretentiousness which allows the food to always be in focus. The beautiful view of the Vierwaldstättersee and surrounding mountains were a perfect backdrop. Overall, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. It was a true joy to experience the many unique flavor combinations from this exceptionally talented and innovative team. Given the right occasion we would be thrilled to come back!

Flavourful fantasy world!! Who could imagine that food (let along vegetarian) could be crafted and curated so meticulously?! The sweet swirls with the spicy while the sour dances with the umami - an evening of sheer satisfaction, unique discovery, magical tastes. Thank you for giving us a night to remember - right from the very first booking, confirmation email, prompt communication for the kids and our group, to the actual dinner with impeccable and friendly service - thanks to you we will surely be sending loads of recommendations and hope to be back someday for more! It was truly an honour to dine at Magdalena 🙏🏻

We had a great dinner at ‚Magdalena‘! The restaurant offers a surprise menu either vegan or vegetarian and can be accompanied with a wine or alcohol free pairing. The food was very delicious, freshly made and all dishes were prepared in a creative manner and in a surprising composition! The plates were lovely decorated and each dish was a piece of art! The service just lovely, as they explained the food very well and made good recommendations for the drink pairing. The restaurant has a great interior design and the view is absolutely stunning when the weather plays its part.

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, perfect service, allow enough time and enjoy the evening. The young team is professional and friendly. Solid ambience.

(Translated by Google) A great asset for the canton, the restaurant was recommended to me by a connoisseur and exceeded my expectations. The food tasted wonderful, but the kitchen is also very creative, so I can recommend the (still very cheap) surprise menu. Very friendly and attentive service, beautiful location with a view of the valley. (Original) Eine grosse Bereicherung für den Kanton, das Restaurant wurde mir von einem Kenner empfohlen und hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Essen schmeckte wunderbar, die Küche ist aber auch sehr kreativ, kann dementsprechend das (noch sehr preiswerte) Überraschungsmenü durchaus empfehlen. Sehr freundlicher sowie aufmerksamer Service, schöne Lage mit Sicht auf das Tal.

(Translated by Google) An all-round coherent experience. Price / performance is right, a real feast for the taste buds. But you have to take the whole evening to enjoy all the courses. You can tell that young, fresh people are at work who create masterpieces with high-quality and regional products. 6/5 (Original) Ein rundum stimmiges Erlebnis. Preis/Leistung stimmt abaolut, ein wahres Fest für die Geschmacksinne. Man muss sich aber den ganzen Abend Zeit nehmen um alle Gänge geniessen zu können.
