Aare, Korean restaurant in Interlaken, Switzerland.
Aare is a Korean restaurant in Interlaken, Switzerland, serving traditional dishes such as bibimbap, bulgogi, and kimchi made with fresh ingredients. Proteins and vegetables arrive marinated and are cooked by diners themselves on grills built directly into the tables.
When it opened, the restaurant was the first to bring Korean barbecue and Korean cooking to the Interlaken area. It introduced a culinary tradition that had not previously been available in this part of Switzerland.
Guests grill their own marinated meat and vegetables on burners set into the table, turning the meal into a shared and social moment. This style of eating is deeply rooted in Korean dining culture, where the table itself becomes the center of the experience.
The restaurant is on Strandbadstrasse and is open daily for lunch and dinner. Since cooking at the table takes time, it is worth arriving without a tight schedule so the meal can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.
The menu pairs traditional Korean drinks with local Swiss beers, something rarely seen in Korean restaurants outside of Korea. This shows how the kitchen has adapted to local tastes rather than staying entirely separate from its Swiss surroundings.
