Des Alpes Restaurant & Bar

Des Alpes Restaurant & Bar is a restaurant and sports bar at Höheweg 115 in Interlaken, Switzerland, near Interlaken Ost station. It occupies a long wooden dining room with a terrace of more than 300 seats, making it one of the larger venues in the Bernese Oberland and a practical choice for groups and tour parties. The cuisine is Swiss and international, with the Oberland cheese fondue as the signature dish at CHF 27 (~$33) per person, with potatoes and pickled vegetables available for CHF 5 (~$6) extra. Other items on the menu follow a broad crowd-pleasing pattern, with Swiss mains alongside international dishes. The dining room is informal and sociable, with sports shown on screens at the bar, so noise levels can be high during matches and busy evenings. There is no dress code. Beverages include beers and wines suited to the fondue. The kitchen operates daily from 11:30 AM to 9 PM on the summer 2026 menu, which suits visitors arriving by train who want a meal close to the station. Reservations can be made online through the restaurant website or by phone on +41 33 828 81 81. Because of the large capacity, walk-in tables are often available, but booking is advisable for groups and for the terrace on sunny summer evenings. The terrace gives open-air dining along the Höheweg, a quieter eastern stretch of the promenade compared with the central section. Prices are mid-range for Interlaken, and the restaurant carries a rating of 4.1. It works well as a convenient base for a fondue dinner, particularly for visitors staying near the eastern station.
