The best restaurants Interlaken

Just a 10-minute walk from the town center is this excellent traditional address. Wood panelling, beams, authentic mountain furniture, bells, open fire and gingham tablecloths... the setting is set! It's in this warm, typical setting that you'll enjoy good food with family and friends. The à la carte menu features gourmet seasonal recipes: venison with Brussels sprouts, chestnuts and homemade spätzli, veal liver in Madeira sauce served with Berner Röstis (bacon and cheese)... Vegetarian dishes are also available. Pleasant terrace.

If you're looking for a lively, friendly place to stay, you've come to the right place in the heart of Interlaken. Run by a Dutchman, it belongs to the Happy Inn Lodge youth hostel, but doesn't just welcome backpackers! Locals love coming here too, not least for the unbeatable value for money in the restaurant, the live music, the screens on which major matches are projected and which draw crowds to the terrace... Not forgetting the famous fresh Dutch mussels served throughout November.

Housed in a magnificent maison-chalet with a frescoed façade, this trendy Parisian brasserie-style restaurant-bar livens up the market square. The service is friendly and the decor extremely tasteful. When the weather's fine, it's great to sit out on the terrace for a drink or lunch in the sunshine. On the à la carte menu, you'll find a selection of sandwiches for a quick bite to eat, as well as a range of daily menus and dishes, including röstis, the famous grated potato pancakes.
