Switzerland Tea Room Gallery, in alphabetical order by name of city or town.
Basel
Ringhallen Alkoholfreies Restaurant Tea Room, Basel, Switzerland, RPPC postcard front; as is common in European establishments, the term "Tea Room" is given in English, presumably to attract English or American tourists. The fact that this establishment advertises itself as "Alkoholfreies" (Alcohol-Free) would seem to indicate a further interest in attracting customers who were friendly to the Temperance Movement. The date is not fiven on the card, but t is probably prior to the First World War.

Vevey
Hotel Château Tea Room, Vevey, Switzerland, interior, RPPC postcard front. The town of Vevey is on the shore of picturesque Lake Geneva, and the use of the English name "Tea Room" to describe this delightful establishment indicates that it catered to Anglophone tourists during the era before World War One.
