Richard and Yvonne Stöckli's commitment to their 400-year-old inn has not faltered even after over 40 years. In the charming little space, the lady of the house cordially and competently heads up the service – and also has up her sleeve some excellent wine recommendations from a great selection. Meanwhile, her husband draws on select ingredients to cook up meals with a well-rounded, harmonious taste profile. His modern, seasonal menu comprising four to seven courses demonstrates a strong allegiance to the region; some produce comes from their own garden or from the Alp Nessleren – and the chee

In his kitchen in the restaurant of the time-honoured Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel, Stefan Beer uses only ingredients sourced within a 50km radius (the clue is in the name!). There are two set menus – conventional and vegan – plus a "Sommelier Menu" with wines from the surrounding area. Diners are talked through the pleasingly uncomplicated dishes – sometimes by the chef himself. Produce that they harvest themselves is used alongside local shrimps and caviar from the region. The high standards of quality are also reflected in the tasteful, upscale interior decor. Friendly service from the kno

The restaurant of this family-run chalet hotel presents an interesting concept in a friendly atmosphere. Classic cuisine is on offer at lunchtime and in the evening; in addition there is a lunch deal and a "close-to-nature" gourmet set menu every evening from Tue to Sat. The top-notch ingredients are almost exclusively sourced locally, many of them harvested by the chefs themselves.

Befitting the elegance that characterises the Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, which is steeped in tradition, a classically refined atmosphere awaits you here. The location against the impressive backdrop of the mountains is a real draw in itself. In summer, make a beeline for the terrace on the promenade! The menu includes a broad assortment of Arab, Asian, Mediterranean and Swiss dishes – flavoursome food made from high-quality ingredients.

This restaurant's stylish historical setting alone, in the hotel Victoria-Jungfrau, is worth a visit: wonderful hardwood floors beneath your feet, impressively lofty painted ceilings complete with mouldings overhead. When the sun is shining, you should definitely dine on the terrace and take in the magnificent view of the mountains. The cuisine is Italian – the pizzas are a must!
