Café de Paris

Café de Paris is an all-day café and brasserie at Marktgasse 14 on the Marktplatz in central Interlaken, Switzerland, housed in a turreted building on the main square of the Bernese Oberland resort town. It serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon cakes, and its position makes it a natural meeting point for visitors walking between the stations and the Höheweg. The menu pairs café fare with brasserie classics: schnitzel, entrecôte and hamburger for main meals, and cakes and ice cream in the afternoon. Breakfast is a draw for visitors who want a relaxed start before excursions to the Jungfrau region. The dining room and outdoor tables have a lively square-side atmosphere, with the mood shifting from quiet in the morning to busy in the afternoon peak, and there is no dress code. Coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer and wine are served, with the focus on straightforward drinks rather than a destination wine list. The venue has a rating of 4.3, and prices follow Interlaken norms: expect roughly CHF 20 to CHF 40 for a main dish and CHF 8 to CHF 12 for cake and coffee. Reservations are accepted by phone on +41 33 821 69 10 or by email, though for coffee and light meals none is needed. For dinner on summer evenings or for larger groups, booking a day ahead is sensible. The central address means that Interlaken West and Ost stations, the Aare riverside and the Höhematte are all a short walk away, which makes it a convenient first or last stop of the day.
