Our favorite vegetarian restaurants in Interlaken
1. Layaly Beirut
Layaly Beirut is a Lebanese restaurant, a cuisine that comes with many vegetarian options (best falafel!). It’s our favorite restaurant of Interlaken and we can highly recommend the LAYALY MEZA, especially when you are with multiple people as it consists of multiple small plates spread out over multiple courses. Just make sure to mention that you are vegetarian as the standard version includes meat. But they put a lot of effort into creating a delicious vegetarian version as well. Make sure to come with an empty stomach because they will serve you A LOT of food!
Last year at the end of the season, all the reception staff of Balmers ordered the vegetarian Layaly Meza with the money that we received from tips
