Amazing Fondue with One Big Flaw - Edit
Fondue Villa & Garden is the pristine Swiss fondue experience for plant-based eaters. Located at the base of the Swiss Alps, Fondue Villa has a dreamy, magical quality to its atmosphere that envelops you as you sink into the evening engaging in a Swiss past-time.
Read moreThere is a delicious vegan fondue option that comes with the most varied dipping foods I have ever seen with fondue. There are breads and pickles and onions and tomatoes and potatoes, just to name a few of your choices they bring to your table. And make sure to ask for more if you run out.
The fondue itself is, honestly, better than a cheese fondue. It is savory without making you feel that bloated brick in your stomach, like cheese fondue does.
The scenery is magnificent. It is a real treat to behold. You have clear view of the Swiss Alps while rating outside by candle and twinkle light.
The biggest glaring flaw really hurts me to bring up. It honestly put a huge wet blanket on our whole experience. And that is that we were sat at a table with a different party of two. Not that we were right beside them, but that, we shared a table with them. My date and I were not able to hold a conversation between each other at all. What should have been a romantic dinner, felt like an intrusion in the other couple’s loud conversation with subjects we really did not want to hear about. It might sound silly to bring this up, but it really ruined what should have been an amazing experience.
I recommend a visit to Fondue Villa for a romantic evening, just make sure to ask for a separate table.
Pros: Vegan options that are varied, Gorgeous scenery, Friendly service
Cons: Not entirely vegan, Seating with other parties

Swiss Vegan Fondue FTW - Edit
This was such a treat and highlight of our stay in Interlaken. We didn’t realize we were supposed to make reservations, but they kindly seated us. There is original and several flavors of fondue to choose from. We got the spicy garlic vegan fondue made from almonds and it was absolutely delicious. It was served with bite size bread, peppers, pickles and onions, fingerling potatoes, black and green olives and pineapple. We also got a bottle of the house wine. The food was bottomless, but one round was plenty for the two of us. We had an incredible experience and loved everything. I would have loved to try the chocolate fondue if we had more time to come back!!

Must Visit, Amazing Vegan Fondue!! - Edit
Must visit for the authentic Swiss fondue experience! As of August 2024 they only offer one almond-based cheese fondue (no dessert option), but it is delicious! Beautiful restaurant with great views and friendly staff, need to reserve in advance.

Vegan Fondue, wow! - Edit
We were very surprised to find a vegan fondue restaurant. Our family loved it. The almond-based vegan fondue was excellent. After being vegan for 11 years, this matches or beats my memory of conventional dairy-cheese fondue. The staff were extremely kind and thoughtful. We highly recommend coming on a sunny day and eating in the front garden. You can enjoy beautiful views while you eat!
Read moreOn the website, it appears very hard to get a reservation, but definitely join the wait-list! That's how we got a table.
Pros: Vegan Fondue is rare to find!, Outstanding view from the front garden tables, Friendly staff
Cons: It's a very "heavy" meal. You'll feel it!

Vegan Fondue!!! 😍😍😍😍 - Edit
My wife was keen to try the vegan fondue experience (and it is an AMAZING experience!) and being a vegetarian, I was a bit skeptical but opted to try the vegan almond fondue - I am so glad I did, it was absolutely fantastic! It is “all you can eat” and we managed two bowls of the almond fondue and god knows how many bowls of potatoes, bread, peppers, pineapple, pickles and olives before rolling back to our hotel! Really nice, welcoming staff, a fantastic setting just outside of town but surrounded by mountains and brilliant to sit outside in the beautiful sunshine! You would not believe how nice the vegan fondue is!!This is a vegetarian restaurant serving cheese fondue with a vegan option
Read morePros: The vegan fondue, The setting in a garden in the mountains, The friendly staff
Cons: Absolutely nothing

Great vegan fondue - Edit
The place is very special, it is an old fashioned villa outside Interlaken center with a huge garden and a cozy room to have a fondue with friends. They offer vegan (almond based) fondue which is really good and even non-vegans will like it. Definitively worth visiting, probably it is the only place in Switzerland with vegan fondue, and even if there are other places, I doubt their vegan fondue is as good as of these folks.
Read moreAs a downside, the fondue is for at least 2 persons.

It's such a vibrant, happy place. Staff is super kind and gave us a super nice local experience.... a great place to go for families but also just with your boyfriend if you're searching for a local and informal dinner experience. OOOOH and the vegan fondue was just delicious and unlimited with 7 other side dishes, all included in the price :-)

You must go! - Edit
I was so happy I went for it and had their vegan fondue by myself as a solo traveler. It was my first time doing cheese fondue and it was great. Staff were friendly and offered guidance. Loved the options for dipping, especially the pickled onions. I did not expect the pineapple so I mostly ate that on its own— not dipped in cheese. Sadly raining this day, so I did not get to enjoy the outside dining area. Definitely recommend and would probably try the chocolate fondue next time as well!

Mind blowing - Edit
SO GOOD.
Read moreNicest staff—they gave us this adorable cubby to enjoy our honeymoon meal. What a view! The food is as reported: unbelievably tasty.
Refills of dippers, although we found ourselves stuffed and managed to lick the pot clean with what we had. It was a first fondue experience for me and the staff were happy to answer questions about how to navigate it all (including how to use the fondue seasoning-which was also vegan-And, the cherry schnapps for some fun… when you read the menu, you’ll understand). Do go if you have the chance, you won’t regret it.
Pros: Tasty, So much food, So much fun

This place is great! The atmosphere is chill and the staff Marc & Suzanne are really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. The vegan fondue is super good and unlimited with some cool twists aside, and for their prices, it’s 100% worth it.

Awesome vegan fondue! - Edit
Although we know fondue is a traditional winter food in Switzerland, we could not resist trying the almond fondue while visiting Interlaken. We are so glad we did! Mark et al have created a place with a cool vibe where we could try traditional fondue vegan style. They also offer additional spices (like the delicious curry which Mark let us have added half way). With the potatoes, bread, pickles, onions, peppers and pineapple for dipping this was a full meal. As I always use cashews for cheese replacements, I did not expect an almond fondue to be so creamy and delicious but it so good that the omnis sitting next to us were also impressed when they tried it. We loved this place!

Delicious fondue, stunning setting - Edit
Had a fantastic creamy vegan almond fondue & desert ice cream fondue in their lush garden with direct mountain views all around. The vegan fondue comes with sides of freshly baked bread, potatoes, pickles, silver onions, bell peppers and pineapple. Plus their fondue spices next to it makes It a wonderful tasting experience. It indeed is very creamy.
Read moreThe ice cream fondue as a desert was amazing too. It's a big like a giant affogato in a fondue pot. Instead of espresso you can choose a hot chocolate or hot tea too plus the cookie Dippers are just great with the ice cream.
They also gave a range of giant outdoor garden Games that you can play
Pros: Delicious vegan fondue, Stunning garden, Fun outdoor games
