He also really wanted strawberries with his fondue which meant the dinner menu as opposed to the afternoon menu at Taverne Interlaken. It came with marshmallow, banana, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries. He loved the chocolate fondue! We also had the cheese fondue starter which came with bread, pickled vegetables, pastrami and coppa. I loved it! My partner loved the salmon tartar. For entrees we had the flank steak, char and a burger. Everything was cooked perfectly. There service was great. This was definitely one of the best meals we had in Switzerland. It was expensive but everything in Switzerland is expensive.

They have a mini fondue pot for one, which was around 30 CHF. This was super expensive, but expected. I got the fondue with beer in it, and I didn't like it very much, but I think it's because I just didn't like the taste of beer in the cheese. The bread they gave was soft, and I'm glad it was unlimited. The restaurant was quaint and gave off good vibes. The experience itself was worth it as I felt that I had to get fondue in Switzerland, and it was nice they had a personal-sized fondue.

So we showed up and asked to sit outside where there were several empty tables but were told that they were reserved!?!? Eventually they sat us outside. Our meal was delicious but when it came time to pay the bill, their credit card processing machine was not working. So they wanted one of us to stay there hostage while the other one went to the ATM about five minutes away. We had offered to mail them a check as soon as we got home but that fell on deaf ears. All in all a very poorly run operation despite the quality of the food.

The atmosphere was special, especially knowing you're dining at the "Top of Interlaken." The raclette and cheese fondue were paired wonderfully with the potatoes and bread. Service was friendly and efficient, even with the restaurant being busy. I wish our server taught us how to eat the potatoes with the cheese fondue. We realized too late that there were only 2 small pieces of potatoes in the bag, and there were 3 of us. There was a minimum order for us to get a table. The serving was light. It's a bit pricier than a typical meal, but you're paying for quality, tradition, and one of the best views in the region -- so it's worth it.

The funicular ride up is quick, unfortunately not too scenic, and never feels too high, and at the top the air is cool and comfortable, with no breathless feeling at all. We arrived in september and had very good weather.Amazing sunshine for what we thought would be cold and wet. We ate on the Panorama Restaurant terrace, looking straight down over Interlaken, both lakes, and the tiny homes scattered through the valley. Absolutely breathtaking.I know a lot of people say that, but until you've been there.You can't speak on it. THE GRUB: we ordered the cheese fondue with bread and potatoes serving for one as we don't eat a lot. We also ordered a pizza.I don't remember what it was because I only have pictures , and it was about three months ago. ,and it went down the gullet so fast I probably didn't taste it much. The cheese fondue with bread and potatoes was hot, flavorful, and filling, and the pizza had a crisp crust, melted cheese, and enough toppings to feel like a real meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and we never felt rushed. Bixby we dealt with two step particularly, and they actually seemed interested in where we were from, and what we thought about Switzerland and the restaurant. Harder Kulm gave us exactly what we wanted: an easy‑to‑reach viewpoint where we could breathe(elevation...Hello).,We enjoyed fondue for the first time in any country, and a well built pizza, as well as and soak in one what I would call the best of the best balcony‑style views over Switzerland's lakes and valleys.

Considering the location, the prices weren't outrageous compared to other places in the area. The actual fondue was fairly standard, but it's worth the visit for the views! Just to note, the fondue is priced per person, but at least 2 people must order to share the pot. They provided a good amount of bread and potatoes for dipping, but the pot of cheese was very substantial, and it was tough to finish. I also tried the ice cream (walnut flavor), which was good, but nothing particularly special. Come hungry!

The issues began when the gruff, stressed woman attempted to take our orders but couldn't answer any of our questions as her English was basically nil. We ordered a couple drinks and she returned for out order as we continued to struggle with the menu. She huffed and stood there actually tapping her finger on the table. We asked for the fondue and she asked 2 or 4 portions. We didn't know how large it was so we got it for 4 and it was huge but only came with bread... no potatoes, meat, veggies, etc. as we had heard was traditional. Then she took our menus away as though we were done but we wanted the fondue as a sort of appetizer, not our only meal, especially since it only came with bread. We hesitantly ordered a couple of dishes, beef tongue and a schnitzel plate and it was nothing like we expected . The beef tongue was tough and in a brown gravy as was the schnitzel which I expected to be breaded and fried. Our 2 friends only ordered 1 salad. We really should have left when we realized the communication gap was so problematic but I basically would leave this place for the locals.

It wasn't crowded when we went, it was very laid-back & chill with a few locals in there. Server was super nice, patient, and made us feel welcomed. She helped us out with which options were the best. I ordered a veal schnitzel, which was very delicious and piping hot. The breading was very light, buttery, and crispy. It wasn't oily. The veal was nice and tender. I like that the food wasn't too salty. The seasoning on the crispy fries were also very good. I also got to try the fondue, which was very delicious. To my surprise, it had a little bit of liquor in it, which gave it a nice deeper nuttier taste. The lamb was nice and tender and the accompanying vegetables weren't overcooked. This meal was filling, delicious and for a good price. looking at reviews of other restaurants in the area, there was a concern for quality and service. But this place was a nice cozy restaurant with great service and even better food. I would recommend if you're in the area and want to get away from some of the more busier places .
