Overview
In this post, I’ll introduce Ox Restaurant & Grill, one of the must-visit eateries in Interlaken.
Switzerland doesn’t have an abundance of standout restaurants, with most places offering decent but not exceptional food. However, during our honeymoon, we found Ox Restaurant & Grill to be a delightful exception worth recommending.

Exterior and Interior of Ox Restaurant & Grill
Leaving the lush green center of Interlaken, we arrived in a more residential area where Ox Restaurant & Grill is situated, marked in red in the photo. The restaurant operates on the ground floor, with outdoor seating for those who prefer dining al fresco.
We were warmly welcomed by the staff, a pleasant change from the colder receptions we experienced in France. We chose to sit outside, settled in, and reviewed the menu.
Menu Highlights at Ox Restaurant & Grill
As is typical in Switzerland, the prices here are quite high. Expect to spend about 100 CHF per person for a satisfying meal without drinks. We recommend trying the Rösti, T-bone steak, and salad. The Rösti and T-bone steak are must-tries, while the salad can be a personal choice.
Food Review
After ordering, our server quickly brought out cold bottled beers, even pouring them for us. As we enjoyed our drinks and shared stories, the complimentary bread arrived, which we eagerly devoured while waiting for the main courses.
T-Bone Steak
We first fell in love with T-bone steak in Florence, and while Ox’s version wasn’t quite as memorable, it was still delicious and well worth trying.
Rösti
The Rösti, a shredded potato pancake, surprised us with its unique salty flavor and addictive texture. It pairs wonderfully with meat dishes and is worth a try.
Salad
We concluded our meal with a fresh salad, which, while not extraordinary, was a refreshing and enjoyable addition to our meal.
Conclusion: A Worthwhile Restaurant in Interlaken
Despite Switzerland’s reputation for having few remarkable restaurants, Ox Restaurant & Grill stands out with its friendly service and tasty food. Many positive reviews support this, making it a must-visit spot in Interlaken.
