The Best Restaurants In the Jungfrau Region, Switzerland

A historic hotel affording some of the finest views of the peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, Restaurant Hotel Bellevue des Alpes is situated in one of the key areas of Jungfrau.

Their desserts are especially delicious; try the apple fruitcake with raisins.

Located at the peak of Schilthorn, the Piz Gloria is a rotating restaurant that gives you a 360° panorama of the Alps. The restaurant is James Bond-themed as it appeared in the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

To enjoy the best of the views, it’s best to reserve a table by the windows, as those may fill up quickly (particularly during better weather).

Enjoy the views of Jungfrau from a cozy, warmly-lit banquet room during winters or eat in a south-facing, sunlit terrace during summers – it’s all up to you at Restaurant Caprice, Wengen.

A small restaurant in the hill-station of Mürren, La Grotte Blumental is part of the Hotel Blumental.

A cafe-bar-restaurant, C und M (C&M) promises a variety of food and drink to look forward to, and usually fulfills the high expectations of its customers.

An atmospheric, rustic restaurant set in the charming car-free town of Wengen, Da Sina promises an inviting, cozy meal.

There’s also a pub inside, which is a popular place in Wengen to enjoy a drink.

A delicious Asian restaurant, Tham Kok Keong is a local favorite, especially as it is very reasonably priced for the area. The owners, Tham and his wife, are a very friendly couple who see individually to your needs and are always happy to take your feedback, as well as customize the food at your request. The dishes are prepared freshly in front of you by Tham, who was a five-star chef before coming to live in Mürren – and this is evident in his creations.

As traditional a Swiss hotel and restaurant as it gets, Hotel Alpenhof is located in Grindelwald and offers magnificent views of the peaks.
