After a long day hiking with 22K steps and approx 31 flights of stairs, I was ready for a hearty…read moredinner and cold beer. I arrived when most tables were full and yet was quickly seated within 10 minutes. The servers were all super friendly and as I knew already what I wanted to eat, it was choosing my beer flight from Hüsi brewery that was "hard." I ordered a flight with the Helles, Hefeweizen, Strawberry Cider (sadly they were all tapped out it's so popular, so I went with traditional hard cider) and the Double IPA. I love beer. Especially when it's served super cold on a hot and humid day with exercise. There wasn't a beer (or cider) in this bunch that I did not LOVE. Mind you, if I wasn't so tired and a lightweight, I would have tried more of the offerings on the menu. The Helles was so light, clean and crisp-as it should be. The Hefeweizen had all the right aromas and flavors. The Cider was very good: not too dry, but definitely not sweet. The double IPA was also excellent. I am not a huge fan of IPAs (often taste like the pith of a grapefruit to me due to the Hops), but I do like doubles and triples and this one hit the spot, with a gentle citrusy taste and crisp mouthfeel. While I waited for my ribs, I saw a couple near me got the Schweinhaxe, aka Pork Knuckle. Mind you, this is one of my favorite Bavarian Dishes that I can also get in Rhineland and it never disappoints. The one I saw served (and took a photo of), was the LARGEST I have ever seen. The skin looked perfectly brown and crisped and the meat was fork tender (from my observation). The German man seated between the couple and me, said it was the largest he'd ever seen as well. It looked amazing and the couple offered me a taste, but I politely declined-I knew I had a large meal ahead of me. I joked that it must have been some large pig to have had a knuckle that large. My ribs came and they were piping hot (no complaint). The sauce was excellent, as it was tomato forward and not sweet with a hint of spice. The ribs themselves were PERFECTLY cooked. I know someone else who reviewed said theirs were tough (I ordered them anyway) and they were so tender and moist that they literally fell off the bones. The coleslaw was vinegar based (THANK YOU) and refreshing. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. If you can't tell by now, I loved everything about this meal. It was also clear I was starving because I inhaled the entire plate of ribs and downed the beers in about 20 minutes. Not very European style of eating, but hunger took precedence. The music was fantastic: a lot of 90s grunge and also some U2, a few other cool bands that ahem, you know, was from my youth. The servers hustle and do a thorough job of being both friendly and helpful. One stopped to have a quick chat with a couple and their cute dog. Two came by to see if my meal was okay. I watched them rush around with food, drinks, and also two different servers cleaned a table after a couple left (the one cleared and cleaned while the other cleaned it again even though it was bare)-so there's no hygiene issues here. I was surprised to see the place cleared out by around 19:15-I expected it to be slammed all night. It was a Monday though and I'm sure the late night crowd was still napping. I would have loved to sit and drink another one of the amazing beer offerings, but as I said, I was beyond tired and worried someone would have to roll me back to my hotel, an 11-minute walk away. Lastly, the prices are unreal for this area. My meal, beer flight and 10% tip (come on, people, 5-10% is welcome in Switzerland-don't forget to show your appreciation), came to 51CHF. That's a bargain. I would absolutely come back here in heartbeat. It's truly a gem. Now to see if they sell their beers in the COOP or Migros so I can take them home...

The pork knuckle MADE this meal worth it! The pork skin…read morewas crunchy and yummy, paired with mashed potato's, red cabbage sauerkraut, and gravy... you could tell that it was with great technique! Not to dry and my parents loved it -- they are the kind who are pretty picky when it comes to any sort of American/german/etc food. The pork ribs were yummy with a tangy bbq sauce on it but a bit dry. The fries/chips were so yummy though! The bratwurst was not that great and $22. It came with a weird potatoes square salad and the same red cabbage sauerkraut. Overall, it was a meal well spent. $122 for 4 people which is so worth. Odd thing is they did have a "restaurant" tax of $8 which I have never seen at other Swiss restaurants. Service was good. Ambience felt like a sports bar, and the wait before 5pm was not bad at all Would recommend if yall like meat and potatoes!

Shocking level of unprofessionalism from the staff of waitresses…read more I urgently ran in during a medical emergency and said, "Hey, where's your restroom?! I'll even buy something, I just need a restroom!!" I did greet the employees. "Hey" apparently wasn't the greeting she expected, and she stopped to scold me, "We say HELLO first..." Rather than immediately directing someone in obvious distress to the restroom, she chose to scold me on "etiquette," was reluctant to point me in the right direction, and treated me with unnecessary attitude. Every second spent policing a greeting was a second taken away from helping someone dealing with an urgent medical emergency. After handling the emergency, I returned to make a payment and calmly explained that I had not meant any disrespect and was simply in a difficult situation. Again, I was met with the same lack of empathy from the remaining staff members taking my payment. Everyone is entitled to a basic standard of politeness. What surprised me was the inability to recognize when common sense and basic compassion should take precedence over petty formalities. Uncalled for pettiness and attitude IS bad service AND poor treatment. 0 stars from me. I absolutely started with "Hey!"

We were in Switzerland for my birthday and we had to have lunch at hooters. A family joke. This…read moreplace is nice you can eat outside and watch the paragliders glide through the alps.

Yelp Review 2026 #126:…read more I go to McDonald's in every country I visit to try things we don't have in the US. When I went to McDonald's in Switzerland, they had World Menu Heist - menu items from countries around the world. They had empanadas from Chile, a chicken teriyaki burger and Sakura Sprite from Japan, etc. I went to this location close to Interlaken West on a Sunday because the restaurant I planned on going to for lunch was closed. I was going to try the empanadas but they didn't have them. The Swiss menu also had Nutella doughnuts, McPops (doughnut holes with filling), Biscoff McFlurry, some locations have Nutella sundae, Cailler sundae, and a cheese truffle dipping sauce. I ordered from the kiosk since I don't speak the 3 official languages in Switzerland. I got the chicken teriyaki burger, fries, cheese truffle dipping sauce, and a Biscoff McFlurry. My sister wanted to try Swiss McDonald's too so, we went for dinner. Still no empanadas and they ran out of the cheese truffle dipping sauce! I got nuggets, popcorn McFlurry, and fries. My sister got a chicken sandwich, fries and Biscoff McFlurry. Her McFlurry had waaay more Biscoff than what I got from lunch! No quality control. Booo!!! This is the only McDonald's in Interlaken so, it gets busy.

Delicious and crispy curry chicken sandwich!! Everything came out incredibly fast and there were…read moremany vegetarian options as well.

Dishes ordered (+drinks): -House specialty drinks -Rioja red bottle of wine -Sweet potatoes vegan dish -Spinach salad -Green salad w French dressing -Pan-fried trout -White chocolate cheesecake -Lemon sorbet -Chocolate lava cake All of the dishes were delicious, seasoned as described on the menu. I really appreciated that they had a section on the menu dedicated to those with food allergies. What a brilliant idea!! Waitress was attentive. Since it was New Year's Eve, we were entertained by a traditional bell march of about 15 individuals banging huge bells. It was pretty cool. Lasted about 2 minutes. The staff could have been a bit warmer. Perhaps the language barrier was a factor. Also, adding small plates for the bread on the table would be a good idea.

The food really wasn't good here. I had come to Interlaken for the day and was hoping to have an…read moreexcellent local meal. But instead I had a very mediocre meal. The staff was nice enough and accommodating but the food just wasn't what I expected. The veal escalope was deep fried and super oily. The batter was so thick and not tasty at all. When I cut the veal the whole thing came apart and the batter didn't even stick to the veal. Since it was so oily I left the coating and ate the veal which unfortunately had no taste. The rosti was also same very oily and not cooked through so the potato was soft and not crispy. And it smelled like oil that had been reused multiple times. The only acceptable dish was the salad with balsamico dressing. Was super disappointed and had to eat lunch again after an hour because I was most dissatisfied. Find another place.
