Cafe de Paris Interlaken
Only thing in common with cafés in Paris and Café de Paris in Interlaken is the cigarette smoke and the obnoxious waiter. That's about it. A lot of smoke. So choose to sit inside.
First clue, the ashtrays on the tables outside. Hey, if you still smoke in the XXIst century, time to get the memo! If you promote it, worse!
The food. The Greek salad is some concoction with too many ingredients, cubes of cheap feta cheese, all floating in a deluge of balsamic vinegar. Which is Italian... not Greek... And not cheap.
Service. First, the greeting was strange, and kind of no time for you. No name, no introduction, some vague non acknowledgement.
Interlaken is known for its pristine high quality water, tap of course. So asking for water should return some answer if you prefer the local cru, or a choice of bottled water.
No, the answer was that the water is listed in the menu, with a sarcastic look to make you look stupid, while the waiter picks up the menus, meaning, too late sucker. Rude, not necessary.
Time to pay. The same waiter dropped the bill on the table and went away. It is common in Europe for the waiter to wait as they are all equipped with portable devices that can process cards and print receipts on the spot. But no, he preferred to go around and disappear. And another waiter would not process the transaction. So after waiting, and being tired of the smoky environment, we had to chase him. Clearly! And guess what, he told that he only had 2 hands. Obnoxious.
Location is so so, on a busy street, so expect traffic noise, and its inherent pollution.
So thank you faux Café, you deserve the truth.
In Interlaken, walk a little, out of the tourist traps and you'll find much better food and service.
