The act caused shock and sadness in Interlaken: on October 19, 2020, the well-known cult host of the Des Alpes restaurant, Thomas F. * († 61), was found dead in his apartment in Interlaken BE. Brutally murdered with a blunt object. His wife, kickboxer Viviane O. ** (34), is later arrested. She has been detained ever since on urgent suspicion. It is the presumption of innocence.
The Des Alpes restaurant, owned by the municipality of Interlaken, has been empty since the terrible events in October. Up to now. Now the community reports on an average: There should be a new beginning in Des Alpes, with celebrity chef René Schudel (44)!
A symbol for the hospitality industry
“We want to get rid of the tragedy and send positive signals,” Mayor Philippe Ritschard said in the message. In addition, they believe that a clear commitment is important, especially in the current tense situation in the restaurant sector. “The city council documents this with the desire to re-invest in the Des Alpes restaurant and give the popular meeting place a new look.”
Tenant Schudel already has plans for the venerable restaurant. The Des Alpes will reopen in the style of a brasserie with a café-bar, restaurant, grill and pastry shop. However, the entire Interlaken city council has to agree to this, as there are a number of investments to be made. The Des Alpes will reopen in June.
“You have to continue”
Doesn’t Schudel fear that, given the tragic history, fewer guests will come to Des Alpes? In front of BLICK, the cook definitively denied: “It is an incredible tragedy what happened there. But I think it has to continue and it would also be in the spirit of Thomas F. for it to continue. Doing nothing would be wrong “. (Fr)
