Interlaken Restaurants

  1. Belvéderè Brasserie

    Although attached to the boring-look Hapimag hotel village, this brasserie has upbeat contemporary décor, with excellent international cuisine like monkfish medallions in saffron sauce and veal in merlot sauce, alongside a handful of Swiss stalwarts. It's closed on Tuesdays from December to May and for all of November.

  2. Goldener Anker

    Its interior rebuilt after the 2005 floods, this well-respected establishment continues to serve interesting dishes, ranging from chicken fajitas and red snapper to ostrich steaks. It also has a roster of live bands and international artists.

  4. Pizzeria Horn

    This quirky old-fashioned restaurant looks like it's been the same for decades, with pink tablecloths covering wooden tables, dried tobacco sheaths hanging from the ceiling and four romantic alcoves. But why should it change? The atmosphere is wonderfully warm and familiar, while the tasty pizzas emerging from the central wood-fired oven are the real deal.

  5. Schuh

    Also works as a Viennese-style coffee house. Skip dinner here, however, as the tinkling, Barry Manilow-style piano and overwhelmingly pink interior can feel like being trapped in a 1970s B-movie.

  7. Steinbock

    While there are dozens of phoney and/or overpriced Swiss restaurants lining Höheweg, this humble tavern is one in which locals also eat. Another good option for Swiss food is the Hirschen.

  9. Top o' Met

    For coffee and cake, or a cocktail, try Top o' Met on the top floor of the Metropole Hotel, which has excellent views.

  10. Welcome India

    Decorated like a true curry house with carved wooden statues and a garish mixture of black, orange and yellow, this is the best of several local Indian restaurants. The menu includes Punjabi and northern Indian specialities.

  11. West End

    Amuse yourselves with the wine list and remember that good things come to those who wait, as you survey the incongruous Swiss interior of this buzzing, congenial Italian restaurant. Many of the pasta and other dishes are freshly homemade and can take a while to arrive at your table, but when they do, they're usually delicious.
