The best Pizza you will ever taste! Salad, pizza and beer. Great way to end a hiking day. Super cute, warm and inviting dining area - great atmosphere. The pizzas are very good if you like your pizza with a very thin crust (crisp base, fresh ingredients) . They are very popular and don't accept reservations so sometimes the wait for a table can be long.

An absolute MUST-DO while in Grindelwald
If you visit during the day for a snack and drink, you will want to come again and again. Most importantly their coffee is delightful and their cakes divine! It seems like a family affair and the team are all polite, friendly and the place has a warm feel to it. The restaurant sits on the pretty Terrassenweg, a quiet road which runs along the ridge above Grindelwald with lovely views of the mountains opposite. They have an outside terrace and a café with lots of character inside. Open from 08.30 am till 06.00 p.m., but on Friday and Saturdays they open late for evening meals and barbecues.

Drinks & Nightlife
Don’t miss a visit to this family favourite of ours. If you are after a real bar with character then you have to visit AVOCADO ! Great bar, fantastically friendly staff, easy going atmosphere, playing some great music and interesting locals. Alex, the owner is an absolute legend, makes you feel very comfortable and he loves what he does which makes it a better experience. The highlight here is a large beer garden and bar out back, perfect for summer days. You can’t beat having the view of the Eiger Mountain while having a delicious beer. It is simply awesome!

On a clear day you can't beat the view from Bussalp and is one of the attractive destinations in Grindelwald, with a sensational view of the beautiful mountains of the Bernese Oberland.
Easy access by bus, by bike or on foot on the many trails ... Treat yourself to a rest on the sun terrace of the mountain restaurant and enjoy in the face of the "Eiger", "Mönch" and "Jungfrau".
Enjoy a very traditional Swiss cuisine, set in a rustic atmosphere. The best "Chässchnitte" (Melted cheese over backed on a slice of bread).
In winter it will be the starting point for a fabulous toboggan run down to Grindelwald.

Fantastic hike along the Mettenberg, at times a bit steep but worth ever drop of sweat. Simply the most dramatic view ever.
