Swiss Cheese


Idyllic green pastures, snow-capped mountains, Sridevi dancing passionately through the flowered fields. If you grew up watching Bollywood movies, you know this scene.

Ah, Switzerland the backdrop of many an 80’s Bollywood film, affected an entire generation of movie goers with visions of blue skies and plump cows, (okay, there were plenty of cows in India too).

Of course, Switzerland soon became too common, and dream sequences moved to more exotic locals in the Caribbean. However, Switzerland will always have a fond place in our hearts.

Which is why the Bollywood Restaurant, is soooo perfect.

After dancing around a few trees, you can climb (or take a train) to the Jungfrau mountain (aka “The Top of Europe”), pose for pictures with the ice sculptures at the top and treat yourself to lovely delicious Indian meal at the very summit of the mountain.

Yes that’s right. The Bollywood Restaurant is in fact located at the top of one of the highest peaks in Europe. Dedicated to all things Bollywood and covered with posters of your favorite stars, the restaurant can help indulge your old school heroine fantasies, while feeding you copious helpings of desi food.

Chandni, oh meri Chandni….
