2 Best Restaurants in Berner Oberland, Switzerland

Restaurant Glacier

$$$$ Fodor's choice

The inviting restaurant inside Boutique Hotel Glacier has prime views of the Eiger mountain and puts a contemporary twist on seasonal and local ingredients. Choose from a three-, five-, or seven-course fish, meat, or vegan menu, with beautifully presented dishes using Alpine sturgeon, veal, Grindelwald honey, elderflower, and other regional products. Wine, a passion of the hotel’s owner, is a huge part of the experience, with more than 150 wines—many organic and biodynamic—available by the glass; pair wines or juices with your tasting menu for a memorably delicious experience.

Leonard’s

$$$

In an airy dining room modernized with contemporary art, Chef Francesco De Bartolomeis prepares sophisticated Swiss cuisine with a twist, such as cheese and onion tart with raspberries and côte de veau cooked in hay from Gstaad, available as part of a four- or six-course menu or à la carte. The dishes change once a season, with many ingredients sourced from local producers, and can be paired with a fine selection of international wines (with plenty of Swiss choices, too).
