Onkel Tom’s Hütte

Today we’re off to Grindelwald to see Val’s colleague Wil. Grindelwald is home to a pizza restaurant called Onkel Tom’s Hütte which has acquired something of a cult following. It’s very small, they don’t take table reservations, and people happily wait an hour until it’s their turn to be seated. It’s a lovely spot.

Wil lives a couple of hundred yards away, and he’s known the owners since he was a child. He is therefore allowed to reserve a table on special occasions. There are only two things on the menu, salads and pizzas. We ordered one of each to share, and Wil had his usual pizza. Of course they sell beer too.

It was all delicious, and very reasonably priced. On our way back to the station we stopped off at the Avocado bar. The weather’s still really warm, so we sat in the garden watching avalanches crash down from the east ridge of the Eiger.

The pub was really busy. Tomorrow they’ll be closing for a month before starting their summer season.

We’re due one more day of this warm weather, before temperatures return to normal on Tuesday.
