He also really wanted strawberries with his fondue which meant the dinner menu as opposed to the afternoon menu at Taverne Interlaken. It came with marshmallow, banana, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries. He loved the chocolate fondue! We also had the cheese fondue starter which came with bread, pickled vegetables, pastrami and coppa. I loved it! My partner loved the salmon tartar. For entrees we had the flank steak, char and a burger. Everything was cooked perfectly. There service was great. This was definitely one of the best meals we had in Switzerland. It was expensive but everything in Switzerland is expensive.

Had the venison ossobuco which was stiff and not cooked long enough. It was served with mashed potatoes and covered in red cabbage which was flavorful.

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!

I got their nachos. I will admit I didn't like them, but I'm used to south Texas type of nachos. The salsa was sweet and the chips looked seasoned, but the flavor was lacking. I didn't try their beer. Prices are about the same as all the restaurants nearby. You'll spend $20-$30 for your dish.

But to summarize first, this place is amazing! The food was delicious and gave us a great peak into Swiss culture. We ordered coffee drinks to start off and they were great. A little pricy, but that seems to be Switzerland in general. The coffee was decent and other members of my family loved their latte macchiatos. These won't be the exact names of the dishes (since my German skills are non-existent ) but we collectively ordered the tuna sandwich, the pork sandwich with garlic cream sauce, the schnitzel plate, and the sausage with hash browns. Literally everything was incredible, although I'll say the sausage with hash browns meal felt most authentic, if that's what you're looking for. I'll attach pictures so you can get a peak as to what the finished product looks like. Just so you're aware, the sandwich portions are HUGE. So they will definitely fill you up. The service was quick and the waitress walked us through the Swiss (German) menu item by item, which was super nice of her. Also, the view of the lake and the mountains while you eat is just spectacular. I will never get over the views in this town. Loved this place and really glad we took the chance on it! Let me know if you do too!

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.

I was highly anticipating this…read morerestaurant because my paragliding guide, who has lived here forever, recommended it, but Interlaken surely has a few better Swiss food options and this is not one of them. If you care about the actual food, skip this place. I care about food far more than service, and this place was a huge disappointment. I ordered the beef stew, which my waitress recommended, and the meat was unbearably dry and chewy, not even the gravy could save it. Seriously, it was the worst-quality beef I can remember having at a restaurant. The Pinot Noir was excellent, but that was the only highlight. I had a reservation for 9 and showed up early at 8:45. On the phone they had said the kitchen closed at 9:30, but when I arrived no one attended my table until 8:58, when the waitress rushed over and told me the kitchen closes at 9. Meanwhile, the table next to me placed their order at 9:15 without issue. There was no silverware on the table, and I was never checked on once after my food arrived, which was very frustrating. The most frustrating part is that my meal for one person, including the dish and two glasses of wine, was $50 Franks. For that price, I expect far better quality. I expect better, truly. Please refer to photos for the dry beef stew meat.

There was always great craft beers on tap and every morsel of food was exceptional. The selection of beers to buy and takeaway is excellent as well.
