Definitely the best meal-for-the-value we had in Interlaken. The prices were lower than pretty much every other place we looked at (if still not cheap), and the food was actually flavorful. 3a is the ground floor of a hostel next to the Interlaken Ost Bahnhof, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. What is interesting about the setup is that after you order at the register, they give you a ticket with your order on it, which you take to the counter. The cooks will then make your food right in front of you while you wait, and will ask you if you want more ore less seasoning, more or less vegetables, which type of pasta, etc. Then make sure that you grab your side salad (seems to be included with every meal, but we forgot to grab one from the end of the counter), and dig in.
The food is never going to get a Michelin star, but in comparison to the blandness of literally every other meal we had, the pasta dish here was a solid performance. The pasta wasn't over cooked, the vegetables were fresh and cooked enough to heat them without losing their crunch, and the quantity was perfectly decent. If we are back in town, we would absolutely stop here again. read more
