The Interlaken table — what to order and where the locals point.
Fondue properly
Moitié-moitié (Gruyère + Vacherin), kirsch on the side, lose your bread and buy the round.
Rösti
The crisped-potato national dish, topped with alpine cheese or a mountain sausage.
Alp cheese from the source
Summer dairies above Grindelwald sell hobelkäse aged in mountain air.
Picnic economics
Switzerland's restaurant prices are alpine too — the Coop picnic with a lake view is the local hack.
Meringues & double cream
The Berner Oberland invention, drowned in thick alpine cream.
