Dining in Interlaken and the Berner Oberland

We lived in Interlaken for 4 years and I suggest:

Gasthof Alte Post
3764 Weissenburg
Tel. +41 (0)33 783 15 15
Fax +41 (0)33 783 15 78
On the road from Interlaken to Gstaad. Old coach stop. Very charming dining room. Very good food, served table side and you get seconds. Prices are moderate.

In Interlaken there is a good wine bar near the "West" train station:
Vineria Grapperia "Per Bacco"
Rugenparkstrasse 2
3800 Interlaken

Have had many very fine meals at the beautiful
Grand Hotel Beau Rivage
Höheweg 211
3800 Interlaken
Tel +41 (0)33 826 70 07
Fax: +41 (0)33 826 70 08

The best wood-fired pizza in Interlaken is definitely:
Pizzeria Horn
Harderstr.35
3800 Interlaken
Tel. ++41 33 822 92 92
Fax ++41 33 823 50 80
A bit off the beaten path, but worth it. Be sure to order the antipasti.

A must is:
Restaurant Bären
Seestrasse 2
3800 Unterseen (by Interlaken)
Telefon: 033 822 75 26
Fax: 033 822 75 28
Traditional Swiss food in a tiny ancient chalet.

Another must is the Restaurant Hirschen
Hauptstrasse 11
3800 Matten (by Interlaken)
Tel. ++41 (0)33 822 15 45
Fax ++41 (0)33 823 37 45
They grow most of their own meat and veg and source everything locally.

One tip in Interlaken...skip all the restaurants on the main strip in the center of town. They are expensive and packed with tourists...except McDonalds which is full of locals. You probably already knew that though.
