Grand Café Restaurant Schuh

Grand Café Restaurant Schuh is a historic café and restaurant at Höheweg 56 in Interlaken, Switzerland, on the promenade facing the Höhematte meadow with views toward the Jungfrau massif. The house is known for its in-house chocolate making and pastry counter, and the terrace overlooking the green is among the most photographed café spots in the Bernese Oberland. Signature offerings are house-made chocolates and pastries, which are sold at the counter as gifts as well as served at the tables. The savoury menu includes Swiss and Asian main courses, reflecting the international visitor base of Interlaken. The room has the character of a traditional grand café, with high ceilings and a sociable, bustling mood, and noise levels climb in the afternoon when tour groups arrive. There is no formal dress code. Drinks include coffee, hot chocolate and wine, and the combination of coffee with a pastry is the classic order. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM, which allows both an afternoon café stop and a late dinner. Reservations can be made by phone on +41 33 888 80 50, and the restaurant also has a website. Booking is rarely required for coffee, but advised for dinner or for groups wanting terrace tables on sunny summer days. Prices are higher than in side-street cafés because of the promenade location, with a coffee and pastry typically around CHF 12 to CHF 15 and a main course from CHF 25. With a rating of 4.0 it is best treated as a scenic stop for sweets rather than a destination for fine dining.
