Pier17, Lakeside café and restaurant in Oberhofen am Thunersee, Switzerland.
Pier17 is a restaurant and café positioned directly on the shore of Lake Thun in a building with a distinctive past. The dining areas both indoors and on the terrace offer views of the water and surrounding mountains while serving food and beverages.
The building began as a ticket office and waiting area for boat services on the lake. Its connection to the lake's maritime heritage remains through ferry services that continue to operate from this location during the summer season.
In summer months, locals and visitors gather on the terrace to watch the lake and spend time together, creating a social hub for the community. The artworks by local creators displayed throughout the space give the venue a personal, artistic feel.
The venue can be reserved for groups up to 25 people and stays open during bad weather with covered indoor seating. Visitors can drop in anytime to enjoy food and drinks without worrying about how the weather might affect their visit.
The venue operates its own shop nearby and partners directly with producers from the Bernese Oberland region. All ingredients are prepared without artificial additives or flavor enhancers, giving dishes their natural character.
