Adelboden Bars & Restaurants
Adelboden has nearly 20 restaurants in the centre of the village, serving traditional Swiss and Italian dishes including pizza. For the best food and fine wines in Adelboden, the Bellevue, Cambrian, Kaminstubli, Alpenblick and Hohliebe-Stubli are highly regarded.Adelboden Apres Ski
Scott’s Bar at the Cambrian hotel is Adelboden’s best bar and an ideal place for après-ski from 4pm, pre-dinner drinks or a beer while watching major sporting events on the big-screen television. It’s also a fun place to chill out or shale a leg late in the evening with visiting DJs hosting regular parties until 1am.
The World Cup Bar in the main street is also quite appealing if you are lucky enough to find a vacant stool at the bar, but Adelboden is a relatively quiet traditional Swiss village – definitely not a party town – and there are not very many bars in the village other than hotel bars the best of which, in addition to the Cambrian, are the Adelboden, Baren, Beau Site and Bellevue hotel bars.
Time Out Pub is a quite popular bar, despite its cheap unappealing exterior. The Alpenrose Fumoire bar in Dorfstrasse is frequented mainly by local youth and noteworthy only for getting around anti-smoking laws by installing sliding glass screens to separate the bar staff from the smokers.

The restaurant Kaminstübli at the boutique Hotel Beau-Site is also worth visiting and the restaurant Alpenblick, awarded 14 Gault Millau points, is recommended for speciality meat dishes and creative desserts.

The restaurant at the 3-star Hotel Adler serves reasonably good food and has a large sun terrace which is busy at lunchtimes and for après ski later in the season. The restaurant at the 3-star Hotel Baren offers a selection of local and international dishes and over 160 wines to choose from.
