Bebbis Restaurant is a casual Swiss restaurant at Dorfstrasse 130, 3818 Grindelwald, on the main village street a short walk from Grindelwald station. Opened in 2015 as the third branch of a family business that founder Bebbi Boesch started in Interlaken in 2001, it pairs cheese fondue and Alpine comfort food with folklore entertainment and a roof terrace facing the Eiger and Wetterhorn.
What to Expect at Bebbis Restaurant
The dining room follows the look Boesch created for all his restaurants. It has warm wood paneling, Swiss paintings, and traditional folk instruments on the walls. Guests leave notes and mementos behind, so the interior feels like a scrapbook of visitors. The kitchen focuses on classic Bernese Oberland dishes: cheese fondue, raclette, rösti, sausages and schnitzel, followed by ice-cream desserts from a dedicated dessert card.
Lunch is relaxed, with coffee and mountain views. Evenings are livelier, with fondue dinners and folklore programming such as alphorn playing. Seasonal special offers rotate through the menu. The restaurant caters to everyone from honeymooners to large tour groups, so expect a busy, sociable atmosphere rather than quiet fine dining. Vegetarians are well served by cheese-based classics, but confirm vegan or gluten-free needs with staff.
- Cheese Fondue: The signature dinner, served communally with bread and potatoes.
- Roof Terrace: Open-air seating with views of the Eiger, weather permitting.
- Folklore Entertainment: Alphorn and traditional music, mainly in the evening.
- Rustic Interior: Wood-clad rooms decorated with folk instruments and guest mementos.
- Dessert Card: Swiss chocolate and ice-cream coupes for a sweet finish.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Tour groups often arrive around noon and 7pm. For a terrace table, come at 11am or mid-afternoon. Call ahead for evening fondue in peak summer and in the ski season. The Berner Oberland-Bahn runs from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald roughly every 30 minutes. From the station, walk east along the level Dorfstrasse. Drivers should use the paid village car parks, since street parking is scarce.
The street-level dining room is the easiest area for wheelchairs and strollers. Ask staff about access to the roof terrace before booking a seat there. Afterward, walk to the First gondola valley station, about 10 minutes away, or visit the Grindelwald Museum near the village church. You can also stroll Dorfstrasse’s shops and bakeries.
