Very disappointing. It had promise as it is fitted out in a traditional swiss style and sits away from the city centre so you get the impression that is a place used by the locals. However, the food was below average and expensive for what you got. From a service perspective I don't think they care whether you return or... More

We always seek out local, non-touristy places when we travel (and we travel a lot) - so this place seemed like it was the perfect choice for our ski weekend in Interlaken. We couldn't have been more wrong. The place looks very cute from the outside and seems like a really homey, local restaurant upon entering. Perhaps a little too... More

Was looking for something non-touristy in Interlaken and tried this restaurant according to TripAdvisor reviews. It was obvious that everyone in there was local, knew the waitress or other patrons in the room, and we were the only tourists. The restaurant was dog-friendly, another thing I am not used to, being from the States, but I think it is cool!... More

After seeing this on TripAdvisor we decided to check it out. Overall very impressed with the meal and the service. It was a little on the expensive side but so is all of Switzerland. After we were done our waitress even called a cab for us, once she figured out our very poor german. Highly recommend going here.

Interlaken is woefully lacking in decent 'Swiss' restaurants. If you want a chinese or Indian, you've come to the right place. Needless to say, we came to Switzerland and wanted Swiss food. Laterne was recommened by our hotel and it was a bit out of the way. Sat nav in the car found it for us. What a lovely ambience.... More

My husband and I really enjoy good food and a trip can be made or broken based on this fact. On our most recent trip, we started in Lake Como, Italy and every meal we had was fantastic. From the simple to the more complex it was all good. Our second stop was Interlaken and I had been warned that... More

We were looking for some "authentic" cuisine and atmosphere so a little after 8pm we started walking...and kept walking... It was dark and we were relying on the little blue dot on our iPhone to take us to our destination because there were no other people around. I think we saw two cars during our 20min+ walk. We arrived at... More

nice spot but nothing special, food was pretty good but would not go back. Not sure why all the good reviews, maybe because there are not a lot of great places to eat, but certainly not impressive by any streatch of the imagination.

We wanted some good traditional swiss food off the beaten path and the Laterne was perfect. They had a much bigger menu than we anticipated. My wife wanted fondue and they had several cheese varieties, but also several meat options. She ended up with traditional swiss cheese and I had the Rosti with veal sausage, bacon and fried egg.

My girlfriends and I ate here in 2010 at the suggestion of a local woman in Interlaken. It was around the holidays and the atmosphere was so picturesque and beautiful. The service was ok, but the fondue was amazing. It was a fun evening!
