Aare Korean BBQ Restaurant

Aare Korean BBQ Restaurant is a small Korean dining room at Strandbadstrasse 15 in Interlaken, Switzerland, near the Aare river and Interlaken Ost station. It serves grilled meat and rice dishes and has built a strong reputation among visitors, with a rating of 4.7 that is among the highest of the Interlaken restaurants. The menu covers well-known Korean dishes: bulgogi (marinated beef), galbi (short ribs), bibimbap (rice bowl with vegetables), japchae (glass noodle stir-fry) and kimchi. Bulgogi and galbi are the dishes most visitors order first, while bibimbap suits those wanting a single-bowl meal. Japchae and kimchi work well as shared side dishes. The dining room is small and intimate, with a friendly, informal mood and low to moderate noise, and no dress code applies. Because seating is limited, tables can be hard to get at peak times, particularly on summer evenings when Interlaken is full of visitors. The restaurant advises calling ahead on +41 33 822 88 88, and visitors should do so for any group or for dinner. Walk-in lunch is more likely to succeed than dinner. Beverages include soft drinks, beer and tea, alongside other items on the menu. Prices are mid-range by Interlaken standards, with mains typically between CHF 25 and CHF 40. The Strandbadstrasse address is near the riverside, a short walk from Interlaken Ost station and the start of the Aare walk, so it is easy to combine with a stroll along the river. For anyone looking for a change from Swiss fondue, it is one of the town's most praised alternatives.
