The 45 best breakfast and brunch in Bern Mittelland District

We just for coffees and enjoyed the vibes. Not crowded at all but enough people to feel the good atmosphere. Loud because of the river but it allows for conversation. Recommended!

We went there for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. I had the lunch set. First, there came a vegetable soup, which was like a vegetable soup is. It was followed by a small fresh salad, which contained different kind of salad leaves and a French dressing. Then came the main dish: Suckling pig with a jus, Risotto and cucumber vegetable. This was an explosion of tastes. The suckling pig had a nice crust, which gave the dish its roasted aroma. The meat contained also fat, which contributed to the great taste. And the jus was a masterpiece! As dessert, I had an Affogato - espresso with vanilla ice. The service was friendly and was flexible when I arrived a little late. Then there's the incredible view. We really enjoyed our visit to the Schwellenmätteli Bern.

The location and atmosphere is amazing. The food is hit or miss. Very much overpriced for rather small portions. Moules Frites were great. Cordon bleu was good too. Lamb was very fatty and not up to the expected quality standards for the high price of it (and it is not even swiss lamb). The rice that came with it was bland and boring and way too much of it. I kind of don't know what they tried to do there. A risotto would have been much better. But this was bland rice with some tomato paste. Waiters were all very busy and basically did not pay us any attention unless we waved at them.

I visited Restaurant Terrasse Schwellenmätteli for coffee, and the experience was truly memorable, largely due to its stunning location right above the Aare River. The terrace offers breathtaking views of Bern’s Old Town, with the Parliament Building and Minster in sight—perfect for a special evening out. The ambiance is unique, with the modern pavilion design and the sound of rushing water creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. It felt like dining on an island! Service was generally attentive and friendly—our server was kind and accommodating with dietary requests. Overall, Schwellenmätteli’s terrace is a must-visit for anyone in Bern looking for great food paired with an unforgettable view. Just book ahead, especially for the terrace, and come ready to soak in the scenery.

The burger was just not worth the price. CHF 33 for a dry bun, pickled vegetables and a little bit of sauce on the meat. Fries tasted with an old oil. You'd get a better burger and fries in McDonald's even though McDonald's should not be set as a standard here.

The food is simply ordinary. As good (or as bad) as what you get from the frozen section of Aldi. However, the price is as if it were from a real chef. The service is ok, it is hard to feel welcome in this restaurant. Paid €48.70 for the almost empty plate you see in the photo. The atmosphere, if you ignore the service, is nice thanks to the river, that is absolutely beautiful.

the main attraction is the location over the river! spectacular view around the water easy to access a very specific point from the city there is food and drinks worth visit finishing a tour by the river

Nice place! I love Tibits at most locations. The sandwich was tasty, drinks were refreshing, and the buffet had great options. A fantastic vegetarian spot with a lovely outdoor terrace!

One of my favorite restaurants in Berne! Delicious food and the buffet style food makes it very suitable for getting a quick bite. I love the interior and the staff is very friendly. There is always a great variety of food options and everything is vegan.

Nice family brunch. For 49 you get whatever you want + 1 cold and 1 hot drink. Not a big choice for picky eater kids, but still managed to find something.

One of the two branches of vegetarian franchise restaurant Tibits in Switzerland's capital city. If you're vegetarian and craving a meal, look no further than here (or its nearby sister restaurant) to satisfy your appetite. But it's also a great spot if you're a meat lover and just up for a centrally located drink or dessert while in the city. Please note that there's no table service and that things can be slightly pricey, including some expectations (for better or worse) to round up your tip when ordering / paying at the counter. Also, be sure to be considerate of others, especially when using your laptop, as the place can get crowded quickly (the staff may also kindly remind you ;-). Otherwise, it's a fancy and conveniently located establishment that offers good-quality dishes and drinks.

The restaurant is great to enjoy a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian buffets. The selection changes every day and you can enjoy a variety of cuisine there. I take a little bit of almost everything and weigh the plate to pay. The prices are in line with the Swiss standard. Also, you get a free bread / buns to the buffet 😃

Being a vegetarian since the 70's, this place is a total enjoyment. I love this restaurant since the first time I stepped into it. The price is very good in relation to the quality. My best girlfriend and I come everytime we have the opportunity. We love the buffet modality because we can chose whatever we like in the perfect amount for us. With the pandemic we had to make a pause, it's been a loooooong wait, but now we are coming again keeping all the security messures. The different areas gives you the option of choosing also where to sit, whether it is in the main floor, upstairs, or outside. They keep growing and offering more services all the time. Forty years ago, a place like this was my dream, today is real. I just love 💘 it!!!

My wife loves the food here. Choose froM a variety of vegetarian dishes: cheese, falafel, potatoes, gebratener Rosenkohl or spinach. Enjoyed the dessert buffet. Location just next to the central station. On two floors. Service above average i.e. super friendly and effective.

The restaurant got a nice atmosphere and the staffs are friendly and helpful. The soup is very creamy and smooth, the taste is surprisingly good. The pork loin is lean, with aid of mustard butter, and spaghetti, it is delicious. The dessert is good and not overly sweetened, we had a good time, thank you.

Went there for the Sunday brunch, which was excellent. A bit pricey (52chf) but everything is high quality and tasty. Make sure to have a reservation as the place is quite popular.

The staff on the terrace was extremely rude and because we didn't give the tip, the lady didn't even say thank you and good bye. We were asked to leave our luggage by the gate even though the terrace was not busy at all and there was enough space. The coffee we had was good but no alternative milk options which is a shame. It was also very pricey for a place that has such bad service.

I came in and had to wait 3 minutes before one waiter paid attention to me. Told him I was sitting outside and would like to order a drink. He said he would come. After 20’ still no one came!!! Very deceiving! Hospitality at its worst!

A charming restaurant conveniently situated next to Bern's train station. 🇨🇭 🚂 🍽️ Offers tasty food, great coffee and attentive staff. The cozy couch corner is a favorite, so securing a seat there can sometimes be a challenge. ☕️ 🛋️

Nice decoration, great choice of wine from Switzerland, Italy, France… The food was very good, in the seafood dish we had a lot of shrimps and it was delicious. For the entrecôte it was also delicious but I would not say no to more veggies.

Romantic and intimate atmosphere in a garden, friendly service, delicious food. We had a great lunch there! For the dinner reservation might be required as it’s quite popular. Central location next to the train station. Recommended!

Beautiful venue - old, classy building, nice ceilings! Very delicious delicate desserts from the house pastry chef!

Every time we visit the Casino Bern Restaurant it feels like a little treat. It’s family-friendly, great for groups and even for a relaxed team dinner. The staff are always so friendly, caring and patient – we really feel looked after. The cuisine is excellent and allergies are taken into consideration with great care. Many thanks for the consistently attentive and thoughtful service and for always making us feel welcome! We’re already looking forward to the next visit.

Casino Bern has truly felt like my second home — and that feeling is all thanks to Leo! Over the past five years of visiting regularly, Leo has always greeted me with the warmest smile, making every visit special. His professionalism, respectfulness, and mindfulness shine through in every interaction. He is, without a doubt, the most incredible employee I have ever met. I also want to give a special mention to Carmiella — another wonderful member of the team whose kindness and attentive service always brighten the atmosphere. Together, they help create an environment that is welcoming, uplifting, and filled with warmth. The mood among the clients is always relaxed and joyful, and I feel genuinely cared for every time I walk in. The coffee is exceptional, the cakes and food are consistently top-notch — fresh, high-quality, and beautifully presented. Everything is incredibly hygienic and clean, and the soft classical music in the background adds a touch of elegance to every visit. Casino Bern isn’t just a café or restaurant — it’s the best in Bern, and a place I will cherish forever. Thank you, and for Leo and Carmiella, for making it feel like home every single time.

We were delighted with absolutely everything! Food, presentation and service were excellent. Small but fine selection of wines by the glass. Highly recommend Coq Au Vin (best of my life!) and beef shoulder mains. Salads are wonderful, diverse, and large enough to share. We were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was relative to the quality of the dishes. We walked in around 6:00 p.m. and were seeded immediately. Highly recommend!

Grand place reminding of an old establishment hotel in a big city. Came for dome afternoon refreshments—did not like their homemade chocolate, was too thin.

Service was great, very friendly. The food we had were too salty for my friends and my taste. I had to drink lots of water. The cabbage soup was way too sweet for me and wasn't able to have more than 3-4 bites. LOVE the food presentations though.

Today, October 19, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., my family and I were discriminated at this restaurant. We arrived and were told to wait for a table, but the waiter passed by several times but never took us to a seat. Then we decided to sit at a table that had become vacant, and the same waiter grabbed me by the arm without saying a word and pulled me out of his way. We sat down and no one served us or greeted us, even though they spent the entire time in front of our table. We left without ordering. We were very embarrassed by the situation.

Service was great. Food was served after 30minutes from order yet was not warm ( Egg Benedict and avocado toast) The toast was written on the menu toasted but it was NOT toasted at all. Eggs Benedict was overcooked, more like 8 minutes egg. No runny yolk at all and the Schnittlauch as decoration were not fresh. It would be better off not to put it on. Food quality was better before they moved.

A quiet little 💎 gem! Had a lovely brunch here with my bestie and it was such a treat. The Eggs Benedict was amazing — great quality and surprisingly generous portions. Honestly, we could’ve shared it and added waffles to split too… next time for sure! 🍳🧇 Service was quick, efficient, and super polite. Well worth every franc — this just became my new favorite spot! ☕🥂💛

Very tasty brunch place in Bern! Used to go to their old location and they have made some changes to their menu, the old brioche bread and avocado was slightly better before but still would recommend for a Sunday brunch, vegan options available too. The staff are really friendly 🫶

the food is very delicious, perfect service (very fast, attentive and super friendly) and a very cute ambiente.

the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely, but the overall experience felt rushed. having to leave after a strict two-hour limit, combined with the high prices, made it feel less like a relaxing brunch and more like a timed event. I'd love to see a more flexible policy for guests.

BACON EGG BENEDICT is delicious and the service attitude of the store staff is great.

Very nice and cozy cafe, with a nice brunch menu 😍

Seating options are great and the bar by the window has wireless phone chargers as seen below. Prices are the only reason it gets 4 stars and not 5. But then again it is Switzerland so it’s kind of expected. Capuccino was strong but that was to be expected.

The waitress/barista was rather bored and unfriendly (and was on the telephone). She did the order wrong and derved me later a too hot matcha latte. I expected more quality for 6.50 CHF :'(

A cozy café that is also great for working at the university or job. The coffee is very good and there is a great selection of açaí bowls and avocado toast. The coffee can also be taken to go. The prices are a little higher, but in the normal range for Switzerland.

The coffee usually is pretty alright. This time i got a matcha latte and the matcha wasn’t properly prepared and thus full of little clumps. Pretty unsatisfying for 7.-

Yummie bowls, sandwiches and coffee! Healthy and trendy menu. It's just the type of café Bern has been missing. Love that they are opened on Sundays.

Good place for coffee: comfortable simple and tasty

The barista seemed bothered with our visit. Even more so as we asked a few questions about the drinks. It’s also very expensive for Tchibo and compared to other places in town. Drinks and snacks are 5 or 6 CHF. I don’t recommend this place.

Went there with my company. We were about 200. It's nice, alternative, and kind of original. Check your meat.

Some people will definitely like this place! It's very special indeed. If you want to see something you haven't seen before, I highly recommend this place. For me however it was a bit too extravagant. People were very nice. -1 star because of personal preference.

the chill atmosphere of this place blends with the bold taste of its delicious cuisine....

One of the most amazing concert locations on this planet

I loved being there! I felt very much like at home! 😁An artistic mecca for all kind of art lovers and positive craziness... 👍

i ate there 3 times when the vegan food project 'habakuk' had an event. great concept and delicious food!

Food was nice, service was ok considering, that it was an event and a lot of people

It is unclear for people who don’t speak German that there’ll be waiters serving you at the table when you decide to eat / drink in. So staff was a bit rude when we ordered at the cashier (which is usually the case in most Specialty Coffee places). Besides that, the coffee was quite good and price is fair for Swiss standards (CHF 6 per coffee on avg.). I liked the fact that they serve the coffee with water by default and plant-based drinks are not charged on top. The toilet sink was clogged though (ladies’ room) and it was a bit dirty.

They roast their own coffee and have many options but I did not try it. We went inside to order but they said we would be served which I thought is nice but when we had to wait I wish they would have taken the ordered already. The brownie was good (dry if you like fudgy) but I did not like the apple tasche as it had amaretto and I don’t like such fake almond flavor. I just wished it said it there and if it had cinnamon instead :)

I came many times here and still think is one of the best coffees I tried :) the waiters are really kind. Peaceful environment

I visited the establishment to purchase my daily matcha beverage, but after tasting it, I had to discard it. I was pleased that they did not charge extra for oat milk, but the matcha was unfortunately very watery. I noticed that they used a bamboo whisk, which initially gave me confidence in the quality of the matcha, but upon tasting it, I found that it was more like water with a hint of matcha flavor, which was disappointing. Would not recommend

These coffee from Blaser are some of the best across europe.

Very good coffee. Chill atmosphere. I took a cortado and it was really well made !

Great cappuccino, clean cafe and a lots of seats to sit. Service is nice.

We visited the history museum in Bern and started to get hungry so we popped next door for lunch. This restaurant is quite nice and the service is great. They are helpful and attentive. The lunch menu has classic favourites of modern society. I ordered the burger with a salad and my husband got the ramen. The salad was wow! I haven’t had a salad that good in a long time! I thoroughly enjoyed it. When the burger came I was also pleasantly surprised. Meat was cooked perfectly to medium as asked. The burger was juicy and easy to cut in half. A little squeeze bottle of sauce was also provided so you could add more sauce to the burger. I am unable to comment on the ramen as I did not eat it. The only thing that would be helpful is to have a little allergen icon. My husband has a peanut allergy and when the salad came it seemed to have peanuts on it, he didn’t have any but I also try to avoid peanuts to be extra cautious. At lunch time, it seems like you can walk in without a reservation. However, I am unsure about dinner as I understand it becomes a fine dining restaurant. I would make a reservation if going to dinner just to be safe. A great spot and highly recommend!

We visited the museum in Bern and saw this restaurant on our way out. We sat in the nice seating area outside with a view of the grassy area - it was great weather so it was overall a great vibe. We ordered the ramen and the salad. The salad was really good and it came with sourdough as well. The ramen was very salty but otherwise good ramen texture - however beware as they ask if you want kimchi as well which we found out afterwards it was an extra 5CHF (it’s actually stated on the menu but there wasn’t an english version provided so we were confused haha)

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Steinhalle in the beautiful historic museum of Bern. We had the full gastronomic dinner and I could only stay until main course due to early train back home. That being said, most items were really delicious and above what gastronomic experience you would expect wandering on this side of the Sarine river. 😆

We visited from the USA and enjoyed the veggie-forward menu currently in rotation. The food was quite tasty and the sauces with the dishes were the stars of the show. The sauces were so tasty I’ve questioned whether or not I deserved something so delicious. The presentation of the dishes was lovely and a lot of care went into them. I think the serving sizes were maybe 20% too small. The small size, even for an upscale restaurant, paired with the somewhat unengaging atmosphere made me rate this 4 stars instead of 5. For context, one course was 3 partial asparagus. Definitely worth a visit and piqued my interested in trying other up scale restaurants in the city

High end restaurant with excellent periodically changing multi-course menu, that will be adjusted to your specific dietary needs. Very attentive and friendly service. Great seating under shady trees, with restaurant integrated into beautiful historic building. Pricey as you would expect from this type of restaurant. We found the service to be a bit pushy for additional menu options as well as drinks, you just have to say no multiple times.

One sentence review: Tasty, but (supposedly) elitist. Longer review of the prepaid Japanese tasting menu. We were greeted by a polite server and shown to a table outside where we had an appetiser and a drink (paid for separately). We weren't offered a napkin even though all appetisers were creamy or had liquids in them. Afterwards we proceeded inside for the main meal. The space inside is pretty tight, the decor minimal and the lighting is pretty dim, but it still doesn't feel particularly cosy (or chic). Now the food. The great thing about it is that there aren't any *dishes* on the menu. According to the chef (who greeted everyone in person) all the items are inspired by traditional Japanese tastes and ingredients and are invented by the chef himself, so you can't just find them in a Japanese cook book. Now the size of each portion is really really small. Half the elements of every dish are a (tea-) spoonful big. If you came to the restaurant... hungry, you'll likely only be less hungry after a five-course meal. Another deal-breaker for me is the price. This place is titanically overpriced. The amount we paid (meal = 159, sparkling wine = 21, red wine = 29) could buy you two (or almost two) similar dinners anywhere in the city. Yes, the restaurant was full, and there are enough people who don't care about prices in Bern, but a family with regular jobs would struggle to afford dining in a place like this and therefore they'd miss out on trying out a new experimental cuisine. Mind you that we spent three hours in Steinhalle and we only saw one person of colour in the whole establishment, and that was one of the waiters. That to me is a good indicator of how elitist a place might be. The service. There's no one designated waiter that'll serve you your food throughout the evening and that's probably a good thing -- less waiting. Every waiter knows how to present each dish, but the way they say it sounds like a recital. They just say their text and leave promptly. Every time they clear the table the servers ask how you've liked the previous dish, but it does come off slightly superficial, like they're programmed to ask certain things at certain times. That is the least of my concerns though, I'd much rather know why you didn't foresee a hot towel at a Japanese style dinner or quiet Japanese music in the background or, quite frankly, better value for money. Yeah, it's a business and it's legal, but how cool is it?

In addition to being a well-known and expensive place to have a multiple-course dinner, the Steinhalle is a low-key, lovely, and delicious spot for an inexpensive lunch. Sitting outside under the enormous trees in the park in front of Bern's History Museum, I had an excellent bowl of vegetarian ramen soup. I recommend the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The menu has only a few choices, but all are vegetarian or meat.

Coffee is delicious. Matcha cookie is also good but I would prefer it to be less sugary. Nice place to have a coffee while waiting for the train.

Great spot overlooking Bern Bahnhof square. Self service with fresh sandwiches, tee from Längasstee and yummy desserts. Tee+sandwich+panna cotta= around 15 CHF. Wheelchair access and it is super close to the train station.

What a wonderful place with a large selection of tasty salads, bites and amazing desserts! A must try is the Toblerone mousse!!! Also very friendly staff!!

Refreshing frozen yoghurts and freshly made juices right next to the train station. Good place to stop off.

Nice modern restaurant, I love their vegetarian menu's. Staff could be a bit more customer friendly.

Food was phenomenal! Very healthy portions and staff was incredibly friendly and polite! 10/10 if you're looking for a great meal! Beer wasn't expensive either!

I bought a coconut fresh juice, spilled it almost immediately and the lovely cashier cleaned it up and gave me a new one. I felt really bad but she was so sweet.

This place offers a special brunch on Saturdays. We come here often to buy an assortment of specialty cheeses. The staff are most friendly and accommodating.

Nice place to buy quality cheese while you are in town (bern). Located in the Bern's Old Town, this place provides so many variants of cheese with very reasonable price.

Probably the best cheese shop in terms of the incredible wide cheese selection they have. But when it comes to fondue , it’s terrible ! It’s like buying finished fondue from migros in a packet ! Extremely disappointing for such an important cheese shop in the old city of bern. @chäsbueb , you only have to try the fondue in Heugel to know what I mean

Great place for a diverse selection of local cheese. They can give great recommendations. This is a treat, since the cheese is more expensive than the supermarket.

Amazing cheese and even better service! The staff was extremely friendly and helped us find cheese we enjoyed!

Great cheese and realy nice saturday brunch with a great service. But the products are quite expensive.

Great Cheese for decent prices. Highly recommend the Stilton!

Great friendly service, nice ambiance and good food - wouldn’t say that the food was exceptional but proper food, to me it was a bit too much oily. Tap water is served cold and free which I appreciated a lot on a hot summer day.

Sitting outside gives you a feeling of being somewhere high up in the Swiss Alps🗻 amazing place to have a cup of coffee! We also tried a very special Kürbissuppe, cooked on orange juice! Very special taste. I strongly recommend to try it!

Great and quick service even though there were a lot of people and the restaurant was full

Great value, great location within the Alpine museum, a nice spot for lunch! Tolles Restaurant, günstig und gar nicht weit vom Stadtzentrum. Perfekt zum Mittagessen! Très bon restaurant, assez bon marché, central, idéal pour une pause midi !

Good value lunch, varies dishes a bit from the usual

At 32 CHF Sunday’s brunch is rather expensive for its limited variety

Good swiss food

Disappointing and overpriced—avoid this place. I rarely leave negative reviews and this is actually my first one star, but this restaurant earned it. The cheapest steak on the menu was €40—and it wasn't even good. Thin, overcooked, and nowhere near medium rare like we asked. Even the water cost €8. That’s right, water. We waited over 15 minutes for just one steak because we couldn’t afford two (that should tell you enough about the prices). For what they charge, you'd expect quality food and decent service. Instead, we got mediocrity and a bill that felt like robbery. Save your money and eat literally anywhere else. Even a 10€ meal in McDonald's is better for the insane price that they charge

Great place to enjoy a good meat dish. The staff is very knowledgeable and the place has a good atmosphere. Depending on your preferences, if you're craving meat, this is a good place. I gave the food 4 stars because I found the amount of butter on the meat a bit excessive and I didn't quite understand how the sauce could go well with the already excellent sides and meat served! A praise also to the drinks and wines👌🏻👍🏻. The price is fair and the service was great.

This was perhaps the most disappointing dining experience I’ve had in a while. We went for dinner on a Friday night and after sitting at our table were told they were completely out of Swiss beef. Instead, I got the Irish filet which was just OK. The risotto was wet instead of creamy and the fries were the worst I had on our trip to Europe. EDIT: While I appreciate the restaurant’s response, the claim that the Swiss beef sold out quickly that night is not true. They simply didn’t have any because of either poor planning or some issue with their provider.

If you're looking for a steak in Bern, this is the place! It is a Canadian restaurant in old town Bern Switzerland and the food is legit. I had a draft beer and a beef short rib with green peppercorn sauce and grilled asparagus. My colleague had the rib-eye steak with sautéed mushrooms with steak butter. They have a humidor to buy cigars from, seating upstairs and bar seating in the back. This place is excellent but they do close the kitchen at 2pm to switch over to dinner. Stop by when you visit Bern.

If you are a meat lover and visiting the very beautiful capital of Switzerland, Been. you definitely have to stop by in this nice Restaurant. the meets is very tastefully and you definitely have to take a look into the wine menu. They will serve the meat with different kinds of sauces and you will enjoy the taste of different cuts. Reservation with a large group of people is definitely recommended if you stop by with a party of two, maybe there is a table available. there is also a very nice bar at the ground floor where you cannot eat but still be able to have a nice drink.

Was brilliant food, quality of food n service was really great👍🏾. Felt healthy

What to say about The Beef. You want amazing tender beef than you have to go their. Nice beef selection from all around the world and the bison is great too. The side are really good. Service is tip top. The home made bbq sauce is really good. The 4 peices trail menu is a go to for sure. Would go back in a heart beat for sure.

One would be making a huge mistake not dropping by this incredible bakery. It's worth dropping by even if you are in town. I understood that it was highly rated and it did not disappoint. I recommend trying their apple strudel. The sweetness of the apple goes so well with the flaky outside crust. Their breads are fantastic, basically I could go on and on. I didn't love their coffee however. Or at least avoid the milk based options.

Lovely pastries and soup. I appreciate the unlimited bread which you can select and cut yourself. Really nice atmosphere.

Sandwiches, bread and cake made with love and tenderness from the best bakeries I have visited .. Each type is distinguished from the other .. I recommend trying all its products because you will not regret it. It is worth visiting many times

Great place in Adelboden with lots of delicious take away food and best barista coffee in town!

I had a Chocolate Mousse (CHF 4.50), very good 👍🏻 And coffee is also good & strong

Best bakery in Adelboden. Everything is very good. Had a special preference for the strawbery tart. Will come back!

After a long day in the mountains, you absolutely need a Crèmeschnitte and I think this one is the better in town.

Absolutely awful people I booked the hotel last night as id planned a trip next week but then I had an emergency come about so I won't make it I asked if I could cancel and have my booking fee refunded Lady on the phone was extremely rude to me with zero compassion and very aggressive about her policy of 100% fee for cancelling I said so you're just taking my money? She said yes she is talk to your insurance after you cancel I then canceled the insurance through bookings.com and instantly got an email saying my insurance was also cancelled? I will be sharing this with my far reaching social media presence so everyone knows what awful people are out there in the world no respect for anyone only greed Basically stole my money

I did not stay here but my friend and I are staying in Iseltwald down the road and decided to try the restaurant here for our first night. It is in a great location and we wanted views of the lake, so after a long travel day we were just happy to be here and excited to try a new place. We walked in and sat and then our waiter came over already with an attitude (mind you we had just been in france for a week so we are used to the attitude, but this was obviously directed toward us). My friend ordered a tap water which she had to pay for, and I asked if they had white wine, as the menu was in a different language and I couldn’t read it. He nearly rolls his eyes and responds “yes? we have white wine??” in that tone. I was waiting for him to tell me options of wine but after a long pause he just turns around to put in our order. Try to brush it off but then I get my wine and it is the tiniest glass i’ve ever received at a restaurant (i know this sounds dramatic but i swear). So anyways we order our dinner (splitting a steak because of the prices) and he tells us that it is an extra charge to split food and we have to pay for the extra plate and napkin?? As we are waiting for our food another couple receives their glasses of wine and i wish i had taken a picture because they were double, if not triple the size of mine (i was not given an option for sizes if that was the case) and they also received bread before their meal and condiments with their meal, neither of which we received. It just became clear they were getting better service, and I should also add that we were the only two groups in the entire restaurant the whole time, being served by the same waiter. The only good thing i have to say is that the steak was good. However the prices are crazy and the service was truly disappointing as a visitor and having done nothing to provoke it.

We came to Strandhotel for dinner for our first night in Iseltwald. What was supposed to be an exciting evening turned disappointing very quickly. We were the only people in the restaurant so the server came over right away. My friend asked if they served white wine since unfortunately we cannot read the menu and our server was rude when telling her they did have white wine. I ordered water which he informed me that charge for tap water (?) never heard of that before but I didn’t want to not have a drink for my whole meal. When he came back he gave my friend the SMALLEST glass of wine I’d ever seen in my life. We ended up deciding on getting the sirloin for to share but then we were informed that we would be charged extra for a plate, fork, and napkin because we were splitting. I’m from the US so I know all about up charging but this was truly ridiculous, especially at the price the meal was already. It was more disappointing to see that the one other table in the entire restaurant was getting prime treatment with lots of check ins, condiments & bread brought to their table. Not to mention actually HUGE glasses of wine. I’m not picky by any means, I’m staying in a hostel but we were really disappointed by the price & service. On a more positive note, the steak was very very good!

We were trying to get a dessert at the restaurant, none of the waiters lead us to a table so we sat down on our own. We waited a while and they didn’t even acknowledge us nor gave us the menu. The female waiter rudely told me to wait despite me asking politely, the male waiter kept speaking to me in german. we got a table that was directly hit by the sun so when another guest left we moved to their table and the male waiter straight up told me “I’m not taking orders from you.” The whole town is pretty much rude to any non-white tourists

Our room, on the third floor, of the Strandhotel in Iseltwald is just delightful. Clean, bright, spacious and comfortable. The small private balcony with a view of Brienzersee is a real plus. With an exceptional restaurant downstairs you could stay inside, but the lure of the outdoors is strong here.

Rudest experience in whole of Europe. The waiter firstly did not seat us so we had to find a place ourselves. Since ours was a large party we had to add chairs to the table which was not possible at that table so we then had to change the table and shift to one which someone had vacated and was yet to be cleared. When we raised our hand to get the waiter's attention since he had not come to our table even once he suddenly got really offended and said "do you think I don't understand English?" with a scary look in his eyes. He then loudly lectured us about how we left a perfectly clean table and shifted to a dirty one ourselves, were pointing at the menu like we thought he didn't understand English and that we raised our hand to call him when it was obvious that he will be coming to our table. He "warned" us not to wave at him and when I say warn, I mean I was confident he will humiliate us the second we did something he didn't approve of He was so loud that the other tables stared at us which was honestly very embarassing. The restaurant at that point was not crowded at all so it was not like he was overworked or overwhelmed. There were totally 4 other tables being waited on by him and his colleagues. Looking at the other reviews, it is clear that this place is racist. I'd highly recommend that people from Asian countries not visit this place.

Location is beautiful with the pier of “crash landing” a famous Korean film right outside and the huge lake packed with activities. The service in the in-house restaurant is wonderful with a special shout-out to Marc the most friendliest employee there who will always give you a good laugh and is extremely helpful and hardworking. The rooms are clean with a daily cleanup crew coming around who also restock your tea bags milk and sugar all complimentary.

This place was a great fines! All of the food is directly from the farm so farm to table concept. Everything was absolutely delicious. Had a great view which was definitely a bonus. Breakfast was amazing.

Such a lovely little cafe that is part of a hotel. The kitchen closes at 2pm so be sure to get there before this but they have many options such as sandwiches, avocado toast, pancakes and salads. Had a lovely croissant sandwich with salami and cheese. We loved the atmosphere so much that we also stayed for coffee and tea after lunch, including a delicious pistachio cake. Very friendly staff too.

Great view with chill vibe! Love the fresh flower arrangement on the table! Also very happy with the quality of food and presentation.

A must for brunch when exploring Spiez. We had the three course brunch for CHZ 39. It included a smoothie and unlimited coffee options. The food is made fresh and all comes from the surrounding hillside. I’ll be dreaming about this brunch for a long time!

we had breakfast on their rooftop bar and it was an amazing experience. The staff was so kind and the food not only tasted but also looked amazing. 10/10 experience would totally recommend!

It was a very wonderful experience with breakfast and coffee.

We stopped here for coffee which was lovely and a cheese and ham croissant which quite possibly the best thing i’ve put in my mouth for days. Very yummy.

Excellent panini with fresh ingredients and nice crunchy bread. Interesting beers, too!

Nice cozy coffee place with decently priced beverages. Limited seating and usually full.

Still loving it after 6 years...

It's my favourite and two good 💯💯

Super cute bar with great coffee, various snacks and drinks. Friendly crew and atmosphere in an old townhouse located next to Gelateria di Berna. Swedish „bullar“ (buns) 😋

Indeed a nice place and thus usually quite busy. Great for drinks, coffee or sandwiches.

Super sweet bar with hot drinks / snacks and a little but delicious wine selection

👎 We ordered two latte machiato, one with oat milk, and can say both weren't our favourite. (We didn't ask for a replacement because we didn't like either of them) 👎 The place is a bit too small for my convenience and narrow. 👍🏼 the marble chocolate cake was great, a must have! 👍🏼 Location is great, easy to be found 👍🏼 Service was nice, the lady who handle us was sweet

It had been raining in Bern since morning, so I was craving something hot. A quick Google search led me to Coffee Fellows, which had good reviews. My colleagues and I decided to check it out. The cafe is located on a lane opposite the Parliament House and has a beautiful interior with a cozy vibe and plenty of seating. Here’s what we ordered and our ratings: • Hot Chocolate – 5/5 • Latte Macchiato – 3.5/5 The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, a great experience!

We decided to try the avocado bagel sandwich, toasted. The combination of creamy avocado, perfectly toasted bagel, fresh cucumber and hummus made it a delightful choice. The croissant had a flaky exterior and a soft, buttery interior—a true treat. As for the coffee, the espresso was rich and robust, while the cold brew leaned slightly on the sweet side but remained refreshing. The cozy coffee shop offered ample space, both indoors and outdoors, making it an ideal spot for hanging out. Overall, a great experience with a friendly staff.

Have the best time here. We have the freshest breads, heavenly sandwiches, and great service. Recommend it💯

Nice café for breakfast. Fresh bagel and good coffee. It's expensive but this is switzerland. The service us slow since it's only one person running the place.

Staff are a mixed bag of experience baristas and confused texters. The coffee is consistently fantastic. But sometimes service doesn’t match demand…

Friendly staff and fast service. Nice ambience and plenty of seats. They have delicious vegan food. A lot of cakes too. Chai latte can be a bit thicker but it is still nice. Good cup of cappucino.

Amazing funny concerts happens here. Inspiring place runned by a group of amazing folk. Great plating. Outside area

amazing little spot! don’t miss it if you’re in bern - everything is delicious and their staff are soo kind

Feeling like the right pub for me 👍🏻

This was one of the nicest dinners I had for a while, glad I was not put off by some bad reviews here. I sat in the garden area that was very nice on a warm summer night. The vibe was welcoming and laid back, as was the waiter, Food very good, quite surprised given that it's a collective. Prices also very reasonable.

Spot to be, great ambiance besides good beers and good food. Friendly atmosphere and friendly service......

We had a lovely time, good vibes and decent prices for lovely food. The menu changes, so I'm sure the experience varies, but there were plenty of pasta options that would suit most diners - and it was good quality!

Chilled local spot with great coffee and an affordable menu. Can get quite busy on weekend nights, but the vibe is always exceptional. Staff are exceptionally friendly and really go out of their way to help when possible. One of my favourite spots in the city.

We came here for a late lunch this Sunday after having visited the Paul Klee museum just behind the restaurant building. There are two sections, the modern orangery and the old style decorated part with intimate little rooms where we were directed. The menu is restricted with good vegetarian options. The food is good, cooked to the minute and decently priced. Like in many restaurants in the German speaking parts of Switzerland you have to pay for tap water, even when ordering wine which we consider an abuse. The choice of open wines is restricted but well selected. Recommended.

I really loved this restaurant. The ambience is great, the food creative and delicious, the service super kind and attentive and the price really reasonable. Thank you Schöngrün team!

If you like fine dinning put don't want to spend as much as a michelin star restaurant - Restaurant Schöngrün is your place. They have a wonderful garden at the backyard, perfect for long summer evening. In the front yard you have the entrance to the Zentrum Paul Klee which is a great art museum with pieces of Paul Klee and other exhibitions.

spot -close to paul klee museum

Best restaurant we went to in Bern. You can have a pre-fixed menu or order individual entrees. Everything we had was good.

Such a charming, refreshing, beautiful setting and overall ambience! Very friendly staff! And the food: very good!

Beautiful glass restaurant with the 19st atmosphere. Food is very good, staff is nice, unique experience.

Reasonable prices. Fast service.

Great place, nice service

(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant, very inviting and cozy, the food is very tasty, especially the salads and the cordon bleu are highly recommended. You can tell that the dishes are prepared with a lot of love. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The boss personally welcomes you to the table and asks whether you enjoyed your meal. We can highly recommend this restaurant. (Original) Sehr schönes Restaurant, sehr einladend und gemütlich, das Essen ist sehr schmackhaft, vor allem die Salate und das Cordonbleu sind sehr zu empfehlen. Man merkt, dass die Speisen mit seht viel Liebe zubereitet werden. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Chef begrüsst einem persönlich am Tisch und fragt nach, ob es geschmeckt hat. Wir können dieses Lokal sehr weiterempfehlen.

(Translated by Google) The food was quite large. I thought the signature dish, chicken wings, was a bit dry, so it didn’t surprise me. Maybe I had too high expectations. If you want to eat authentic traditional Swiss dishes, it is worth coming here. (Original) 食物蠻大份的，招牌菜雞翅我覺得肉有點略乾，沒有讓我很驚艷，也許期待太高。如果想吃道地的瑞士傳統菜餚很值得來。

(Translated by Google) 5 stars for a very local and good restaurant cooked with love. Service was very good and service was very tasty. (Original) 5 Sterne für ein sehr lokales und gutes mit liebe gekochtes restaurant. Bedienung kst sehr gut und bedienung sehr lecker.

(Translated by Google) I have been visiting the restaurant for several years and every time I am amazed by the food. Peter's in Sörenberg not only serves excellent food, but also offers a warm and personal atmosphere. The extremely personable chef is characterized by his attentive nature and likes to take the time to ensure that every guest is satisfied. His personal welcome and his interest in the well-being of the guests give the restaurant a special touch. The pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant invites you to indulge in culinary delights. Every dish, be it the Lucerne Chügelipastetli or the classic Cordonbleu, is prepared with care and attention to detail. The desserts are real culinary delights and provide a successful rounding off of the meal. The apple strudel with warm vanilla sauce seduces with its perfectly balanced taste, while the chocolate cake with its liquid center is a true taste experience. But for me the real highlight of the restaurant is undoubtedly the garlic soup in the homemade bread cup. This unique creation is an absolute must for foodies. (Original) Ich besuche das Restaurant schon seit mehreren Jahren und jedes Mal bin ich von dem Essen begeistert. Im Peter's im Sörenberg wird nicht nur exzellentes Essen serviert, sondern auch ein herzliches und persönliches Ambiente geboten. Der äußerst sympathische Küchenchef zeichnet sich durch seine aufmerksame Art aus und nimmt sich gerne die Zeit, um sicherzustellen, dass jeder Gast zufrieden ist. Seine persönliche Begrüßung und sein Interesse am Wohlbefinden der Gäste verleihen dem Restaurant eine besondere Note. Die angenehme Atmosphäre des Restaurants lädt dazu ein, sich kulinarisch verwöhnen zu lassen. Jedes Gericht, sei es das Luzerner Chügelipastetli oder das klassische Cordonbleu, ist mit Sorgfalt und Liebe zum Detail zubereitet. Die Desserts sind wahre Gaumenfreuden und bieten eine gelungene Abrundung des Mahls. Der Apfelstrudel mit warmer Vanillesauce verführt mit seinem perfekt ausbalancierten Geschmack, während das Schokoladenküchlein mit seinem flüssigen Kern ein wahres Geschmackserlebnis darstellt. Doch das wahre Highlight des Restaurants ist für mich zweifellos die Knoblauchsuppe in der hausgemachten Brottasse. Diese einzigartige Kreation ist ein absolutes Muss für Feinschmecker.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty, children's pool available (great idea). Changing table should be optimized/renewed as it looks unkempt. Rather expensive. (Original) Sehr lecker, Kinderbecke vorhanden (super Idee) Wickeltisch Sollte man optimieren/erneuern, da es ungepflegt aussieht. Eher teuer.

Very friendly neighbourhood coffee place with disappointing drinks. Casual, industrial look vibe, with outdoor seating in front, and back courtyard. Unfortunately on out last visit the drinks were very disappointing: the coffee was so sour as to be undrinkable, and the Chai latte was so watery it had virtually no flavor. Won't be coming by again soon.

My favorite café/bar in Bern: great atmosphere, super friendly staff (you can tell that they enjoy working there and in that team), tasty, locally produced food with some vegan options, great drink choices with and without alcohol.

It was my first time visiting the cafe, and it honestly left a bad impression. The food was okay and the look of the cafe was nice but the service was atrocious. You can only order at the bar. At the time we went, it was very busy, so that meant waiting for quite a long time, but that wasn't so bad yet and I generally didn't have a problem with that. When it was finally my turn to order, though, I was first ignored and left stading there for quite some time until someone asked what I wanted. After I ordered I wanted to pay and I was told I should pay later. Big mistake - ask them to pay immediately if you visit this place! I say that because, after we were done, I asked to pay and was told I needed to pay at the bar, meaning I again had to wait in the huge line. That was quite a negative surprise. Very unorganised. I strongly suggest that they figure out another system to attend to people or at least don't tell people to pay later so we don't need to wait twice !

Super friendly and helpful staff, and inexpensive but high quality options for food and drinks

Charming little vegetarian/vegan café. Pie was excellent. A little overpriced.

A very cozy place in Lorraine. Staff is very friendly, I feel very welcomed every time I visit. For me the perfect place to have some Granola and a cup of coffee and chill at the backyard :)

great cold brew and pastries :)

Great place with innovative Vegan food! 10/10 recommended. PS: go early if you want 50% discounted foods.

Really nice place & employees. I was welcomed by an employee who was well versed in English, and was able to explain all the menu items to me, 10/10 would recommend

Hands down the best place for a vegan brunch! The “Friends Combo” comes with a lot of different dishes so you can try a bit of everything. I really love their filled croissants! So good!

Tasty croissant, very nice and cozy atmosphere, good service. Thank you!

Make sure you order the vegan brunch! Lots of great options included and it's enough to fill you up for the day. Everything was prepared fresh, and you can choose sandwiches and pastries to go if you don't have the time to sit in.

Great place, great food, love it.

Very nice bakery in Bern. Very tasty croissants with cookie dough and cinnamons rolls!!!

Hands down the BEST coffee in town! They offer lots of delicious sweet and savory food options as well. My favorite coffee place in Bern (if not in Switzerland!)

Loved the place, amazing coffee.. nice staff also! We don't speak german and they spoke perfect english to us! the chaï cake was very very good!

There is already a lot of coffee culture in Bern and also in Breitsch, but this is certainly not one too many. Embedded in the neutral new façade of the large new building center, a modern yet warm spot. Cozy. The Flat White is the best I've had in Bern so far. Excellent.

Excellent coffee shop with bowls and toasts daily. Delicious food! We ordered the Energy Boost bowl-greek yoghurt, nuts, honey and the Berner toast- cottage cheese, avocado, prosciutto, dried tomatoes, and balsamic. Love the flavor combination of the Berner. Great portions to share. The espresso and cold brew were perfectly balanced. 10/10

With seating indoors and outdoors, this little cafe churns out great espresso drinks in a quick, yet elegant manner. The service is friendly and timely. Highly recommend trying the Classic Bowl.

This coffee place is fantastic! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, making it a great spot to unwind or catch up with friends. The coffee is top-notch, rich, and well-prepared, with a range of flavors to suit any taste. The staff is warm and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable spot with great coffee and friendly service!

At first I wasn't really happy of the portion of my smoothie bowl, later I realized that the amount was about right. Coffee is incredible. Highly recommended

I have mixed feelings about my stay. While the location is fantastic and it’s likely the only five-star hotel of its size, the housekeeping could improve. The rooms aren’t thoroughly cleaned or tidied unless you specifically request it, and the floors often seem overlooked. However, the service is exceptional, and the staff are highly attentive.

A beautiful and high-quality building with very comfortable beds. However, the bathrooms are on the smaller side with an uncomfortable layout, even in the Tower Suite. The suite itself has a lovely terrace and spacious living room, while the Superior Rooms are decent but feel a bit overpriced for their size. The concierge team is extremely friendly, and the spa is excellent, special mention to Rike for an amazing massage. The gym is large and well equipped. The restaurant serves delicious food with an impressive wine selection, though the coffee could be better prepared.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel in Interlaken, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel itself carries a rich sense of history, with its origins dating back to the 19th century, and you can feel that timeless elegance the moment you step inside. The architecture is grand yet warm, with beautiful detailing that perfectly complements the surrounding alpine charm. The location is simply unmatched—set right in the heart of Interlaken, it allows you to stroll through the city with ease, all while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Jungfrau mountains. Waking up to those views is something I’ll never forget. Service at the hotel was excellent in every sense. The staff were professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and memorable. From the warm welcome to the fine dining experiences, every detail was handled with care. The Victoria Jungfrau perfectly blends history, scenic beauty, and modern luxury. It’s the kind of place where you feel both pampered and inspired, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Switzerland.

We have the pleasure of staying at this property for 4 nights in July 2025. It was one the best experiences I’ve had ever. Entire staff is very friendly including the reception, restaurant, spa service. We booked spa treatment for entire family and it was the most pleasant experience. Spa location is very private and peaceful. I had my back massage done with Sonia and she was really good. I highly recommend her and entire spa staff.

This hotel is fantastic! The rooms are beautiful, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the location is perfect. The gym is a major highlight, with a full range of modern equipment and weights. I was particularly impressed to find dumbbells that go up to 32.5kg, which is rare for a hotel gym. Highly recommend it for anyone who likes to get a good workout in.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It feels like home, very comfortable and welcoming. Special thanks to Mr. Philippe for his kindness and great smile during check-out, and also to the young housekeeping team who were very friendly and professional. This will definitely be my hotel every time I visit Switzerland!

Truly Heartfelt and Exceptional Service Julia Borecka at Victoria Bar provided an experience filled with genuine warmth and heartfelt care. Her humble and kind nature made me feel incredibly welcomed and valued from the moment I arrived. Julia’s exceptional service, combined with her polite and gracious demeanor, created a lovely and memorable atmosphere. It is rare to meet someone who serves with so much love and attentiveness. I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing her wonderful hospitality it truly touches the soul.

Bellevue Palace Hotel offers an exceptional stay with impeccable service that makes you feel truly welcomed. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and elegance. What truly sets it apart is the breathtaking view of the famous river, which adds a serene and luxurious touch to the experience. Every detail, from the attentive staff to the peaceful ambiance, reflects the hotel’s timeless charm and dedication to excellence. Whether for business or leisure, Bellevue Palace is a perfect choice for those seeking quality, comfort, and unforgettable scenery. Highly recommended for a memorable and relaxing stay in the heart of the city.

Nice little tea time outside on the terrace with a beautiful view! Staff was very professional and attentive - true old school hospitality spirit. The atmosphere inside was beautiful, made us wish we stayed longer. Will come back to stay in the hotel

My stay at the Bellevue Palace Bern was exceptional. The newly appointed rooms feel both refined and authentic, keeping the charm of a grand palace while offering every modern comfort. Waking up to the views over the Aare and the Alps is simply breathtaking. The location could not be better; right in the heart of Bern, steps from everything yet perfectly quiet. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, making me feel welcome from the first moment. A timeless hotel that continues to impress.

My stay at the Bellevue Palace in Bern was truly exceptional. The hotel is a landmark of elegance and history, offering a unique atmosphere that perfectly blends tradition with modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, beautifully appointed, and many offer stunning views of the Bernese Alps and the River Aare. The service is outstanding, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, making every guest feel special. Its central location, right next to the Federal Palace, is perfect for exploring Bern while enjoying the charm and exclusivity of a grand hotel. Dining at the Bellevue is another highlight, with refined cuisine served in an elegant setting that reflects the character of the hotel.The Bellevue Palace is not just a place to stay, but a true experience of Swiss hospitality at its finest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bern.

We truly enjoyed our stay at your hotel from August 7 to 8, 2025. I would like to express special thanks to Chiara at the reception, who was exceptionally professional, friendly, and welcoming. Thanks to her attentive and kind approach, our check-in and overall stay were very comfortable. Thank you for the warm atmosphere and your care for guests. We left with only the most pleasant impressions and will definitely return.

The service and staff here are amazing! Very professional. What we loved about the room: magnifying mirror that slides for taller/shorter people, spacious and sufficient space for two peoples' suitcases and hanging clothes, clean wood floors, plenty of outlets, good wifi, plenty of places to hang towels, outlet in the bathroom for curling irons, beautiful view. Suggestions: bathtub shower with high sides to step over was tough for my 85-yr old Mother.

I never leave reviews, but I was incredibly disappointed with both the hotel and service during a one-night stay on a tour of Switzerland. Our room was 203. Common areas are deceiving—they hide very dated hotel rooms—old red worn carpeting, dust ruffle from the 1980s, shower curtain, inconvenient plug location, TV on an awkward stand. Shower curtain was too small and bathroom became wet, no hot water in shower (although there was from sink), sink not draining well with water accumulating in bowl. Air conditioning in rooms cannot be lowered below 19C, but the beds only have super thick comforters. We were offered a fan, which was never delivered. We were told to leave the window open, which did not seem safe on the second floor in a metropolitan area. Dinner at the hotel was marginal at best—we were waited on by multiple servers who didn’t know what we had told the last server, food subpar, mismatched pool furniture on the terrace (best part of the hotel was the beautiful view from here). Morning breakfast below the quality of other hotels in Switzerland. Overall, staff seemed overwhelmed trying to care for other important guests (some type of delegation) and could not provide service to regular travelers. Definitely not 5-star.

This was a really cool experience but note for the hot summer days. There is no air conditioning or fans. Otherwise it is quite lovely

Fairly nice castle and enjoyable to walk up there. I liked the free access to the public toilets too 🙂

Beautiful castle and museum in a medieval setting. What's not to like?

This is probably the best museum I've ever seen in a castle. There's not much more to add here. Those who haven't seen it won't understand. The castle also functions as a hostel. I was thrilled by the punk staff behind the cash register and in the restaurant. This castle has its own unique style.

Very nice that they use the historic buildings for daily needs of residents 🫶

Very unique experience, cosy little town. Prices were reasonable given the location and the fact you're staying in a medieval castle. Free castle- museum tour included. Excellent proximity to Bern and Interlaken. Offered breakfast was good but rather basic.

Beautiful castle with clean rooms and a great museum. The dinner was simple but delicious, the staff super nice. Very pretty hiking in the woods nearby. We loved our stay!

Its a great place to stay in Bern. The hotel has an excellent location, close to the station and walking distance from the city centre as well. The staff are incredibly sweet. The concierge was really warm and helpful with her tips to sightsee in Bern. They have free coffee and a free welcome drink (alcoholic/non alcoholic of your choice) which is amazing (and not seen in Switzerland tbh). Great place and value for money.

Great Location. Friendly staffs. Vera and Baljit are super friendly and helpful. Air-conditioner works great. Something to note that there is no fridge inside the room and water pressure is a bit too slow. However, these doesn't bother us we still enjoy our stay.:) thank you.

We had a wonderful stay. The family room was spacious, featuring a connecting door in between. The staffs were friendly and it was just 7 mins walk to the train station. They even gave my son a football as a welcome gift, along with welcome drinks. They are definitely 4-star.

Very nice hotel on an excellent location. Very friendly and helpfull staff, good rooms, a lot of choices for breakfast and the "Bären" theme through the hotel was adorable 😊 I can't think of anything I didn't like except the noisy street in front of the hotel. Apparently supply trucks and market stalls are busy there quite early in the morning. Obviously this is nothing the hotel can do anything about, they have isolating windows(when opened the noise is a lot worse) and even provide earplugs for the guests, which is very thoughtful. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to ask for a room not located on the street side. All in all a great hotel which I would certainly recommend!

Personnel and service are 4 star. No bicycles to use, but with the traffic dont get a bike. Everything is within walking distace! Grocery and pharmacy next door to hotel. Location is 5 star. Our room is extremely small! A cruise ship room is bigger!

Our stay was 100% outstanding!!! The breakfast was amazing! The best part was the staff…I want to send a special thanks to Baljit the receptionist who went above and beyond and made our stay so very special.

cannot fault this hotel. 100% will return Walking distance to train station Big rooms Kitchenette with microwave and sink! Free washing machine and dryer! Free local travel pass Free tea/coffee/hot chocolate Can borrow umbrellas if needed Supermarkets/shops nearby Right inside historic Bern Clean, quiet, friendly staff Lift Very comfortable beds

Cozy, small bar with very friendly staff.

Had brunch there. Open buffet for 25CHF, coffee or tea included. I didn't know they offered brunch until a friend invited me to go. It was pleasant. The buffet consisted of various cheeses and dry meats as well as yogurt, various compotes and jams and oats. You can also ask for some eggs for 5 Chf additional. All in all, I liked it. The mood was laid back. It's not a place you go to discover innovative/non Swiss food but for the price and the quality, I recommend it. You might need to reserve in advance as space is on the limited side

Chill, Quite place where you can sit down and discuss philosophy and meaning of life. Also the staff is incredibly accommodating, compassionate and very patient. Highly recommended!

very cosy, attentive staff, small but good selection of drinks, great decor

nice and cosy place to grab a drink or coffee! Great breakfast on Sunday aswell

Very cozy little bar in central Bern. Serves decent drinks but the selling point is definitely the atmosphere in this place.

Decent coffee and good chocolate cake. The ambiance is quite cosy.

I visited Treff Asian Restaurant and Café and had a good dining experience. I ordered the Ginger Beef and the Grilled Salmon with vegetables and rice. Both dishes were well-prepared and tasty. The customer service was good. While the overall experience was positive, there is some sections for improvement that keeps me from rating it higher. I give Treff Asian Restaurant and Café a solid 3 out of 5 stars. Worth a visit if you're in the mood for some Asian flavors.

They offer a fantastic selection of Asian and local dishes, along with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Their Asian cuisine receives high praise from customers, Additionally, they incorporate local ingredients into many of their dishes, providing a delightful fusion of flavors

The place is right on the main road through old town. The atmosphere was good, and I enjoyed sitting having a beer watching people come and go. The food was ok. I had spring rolls and chicken satay. The chicken wasn't bad. My colleague had the duck and said it had a flavor like it had been frozen and reheated.

Very tasty and nice terrace. They have wifi

The restaurant itself have a variety of stuff (pizza, pasta, burger, sushi) and usually that’s the kind of place I avoid for sushi, but I was surprised and pleased to see that the sushi is done in a entirely different kitchen with a cook just focusing on that. The waitress was very friendly. Sushi was very fresh and yummy. And the dessert was very pleasant too.

Loved Thai restaurant. It was a bit weird to have a combo of Italian and Asian food in the menu, but that didn’t take away from the quality and taste. Plus the owners Siberian husky is a pleasure to visit with for lunch.

Popular restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a large menu of western and Asian dishes. We visited with a a group of friends. Overall we were not impressed, the inside of the restaurant looks worn, the service was mixed with one server apparently on her first day, and with no clue about the menu to answer questions. The food was mediocre, standard fare you can get anywhere. So, overpriced for what you get, in our view.

great atmosphere and lovely set up with the big mirror. staff was very friendly, a cozy spot in the heart of the city.

Chill atmosphere, great place to relax and unwind before exploring Bern and the old town. Cakes were average, coffee were the better ones I had in Switzerland. Initially staff wasn't very friendly and helpful as we obviously looked like tourists (Asians) and were looking for seats. Thankfully another staff was very friendly and make sure we had our orders taken and checks in with us. I would say the service quality is not very consistent across all the waiters, definitely need more training if they brand themselves as related to Einstein and a tourist place to visit.

Was a nice leisurely place to start a holiday weekend breakfast. Food was good, but wish it had more options! Ambience and service was great

Unfortunately my experience was not good in this place. Unfriendly service and rude answers from the waitress made me frustrated. I am in Switzerland since 2 weeks and I never felt this in any place. I was thinking to order a cake too but I didn't want to spend more time here and the cold coffee that I drank was only ok. 14/08/25 (time- 11:50)

What a delicious place! We got the cheesecake (absolutely perfect) club sandwich (WOOOOW) and the coffe is amazing! 100% recommended! ❤️

This cafe is located in a very nice location in Bern. The interior is cozy and spacious. Cappuccino was delicious. The drinks are pleasing to the eye and very exciting. The service was very polite. We came as a group and chatted. I think this cafe is also very attractive for studying. Love <3

Great service and antipasti was incredible! Perfect macchiato!

Nice bakery with cozy and quiet seating area

My favorite chocolate in Switzerland. I keep checking back to see if I can get them shipped to the USA.

Today I had Kaffee in this lovely Tearoom. The promblem is that we got warm Kaffee. Asked if we could have hot kaffee....still got warm Kaffee. What a pity..

Absolutely delicious. Went two mornings in a row. The pastries and milkkaffee were incredible.

The service was not that great. The chocolate mousse had a lot of alcohol, it should be pointed out.

Very nice and cosy tearoom, and the pastries are super yummy. Cheers

The sandwiches are really delicious.

As soon as you step in you breath another era. The hotel is packed with furniture, paintings and objects collected during centuries and has much personality. Staff is very kind and helpful. Good breakfast. The room was clean and very well kept though there were no plugs next to the bed. With Bern ticket Bern is just 10/15 minutes away by bus and Koniz is very nice, full of shops and restaurants and close to the park. I had to keep the windows more closed than what I wanted because of traffic but once closed the noise stopped disturbing me. Good wifi.

Definitely one of the worst hotels I've stayed in due to its location and design. Continuous stream of unpleasant street noise makes sleep impossible. Excessively warm room due to lack of AC and need to keep windows closed due to the outside traffic. Expensive. Avoid. My only relief was that I booked just one night here.

Great place to stay! Excellent staff and service! Bernardino provided excellent professional service!! Great price too! I highly recommend the Banana split which I call the "Titanic" Great cheat dessert for me after 5 months of Spartan training! Thankyou all!

Amazing experience , the staff was realy good , the room was realy clean & with a nice coffee , amazing hotel , thanks for the staff

warm bed, good breakfast

Fast and qaulity. I Love it.

(Translated by Google) Cozy restaurant with first-class service! Very pleasant. Tables are far enough apart to provide a nice level of privacy. The atmosphere is cozy, middle-class. The food was really very tasty and freshly prepared. Price-performance is also right! We'd love to come back! (Original) Gemütliches Restaurant mit erstklassigem Service! Sehr angenehm. Tische weit genug auseinander das eine schöne Privatsphäre gegeben ist. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich gut bürgerlich. Das Essen war wirklich sehr sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Preis-Leistung stimmt ebenfalls! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

This place screams I love coffee. It is the proper representation of what a modern coffee should be like. They ask questions when ordering a coffee. They give to taste when buying beans. They have high quality products. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very nice vibe in general. What a great find.

The place is really cool and the staff is very kind The pastry was kind a dry, the coffee is really on the bitter end with no different coffee options

I like it. Not so many options for deserts and salty but atmosphere and the staff are great. Emily faces and clean toilets.

very friendly staff, competent and fast serving. Great coffee and sweets with it. Get your coffee and enjoy there cosy place, or go around the corner in the park, as I did. Coming back, for sure 🙏

Very nice coffee shop with friendly and experienced staff

This is the best coffee place in Bern. I go there all the time and never, ever get disappointed, the service is really great they have an amazing team of baristas and they know their clients. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming, you can also go there with your laptop and work with no problem, the food is good and they have vegan options on the menu. Super recommended!

Amazing coffee, friendly staff and great atmosphere. 100% recommend.

Every night a free live music concert, not bad but sometimes id love to sleep, too

Cool vibe and hosts of interesting indie music from around the world. Wish they had more of their great looking food during the daytime, but it’s a small scale operation so I understand. Hope to come back, and see the cat, for whom they have built an entire network of ramps and steps going up the building’s corner (worth going for that alone)…

We stopped here for coffee while waiting for our washing to be done next door. The lady was so lovely and helpful. She actually changed a note for us to use in the laundry next door as well. So thankful. They didn’t take our card so we actually paid for coffee in euros. We only had enough local cash for our washing.

We went for late breakfast while our laundry was going next door. Lattes were amazing and breakfast while small was delicious. I had the fried egg with beans and sausage, and my husband had the fried onions with hummus and toast. Server was friendly and spoke English (just ask first). A fun vibe and neighbourhood.

Very lovely latte Food not served until 12 sadly

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. We found this place when everything else was closed and we were very pleasantly surprised. Even the cook came to speak with us to make sure all the ingredients used were appropriate.

Unbelievable, making a concert on a Monday evening and then playing the music so loud we can hear it four blocks away. Horrible place which I wish wouldn't exist in our neighbourhood.

Asked to charge my phone after buying a coffee,I asked 3 times in German but the waitress keeps ignoring me,at least give me a “no” or something Jesus Christ ….happened last year on 14.September.

Good croissant and fresh food Nice coffee Good staffs manners

Good place for coffee and pastries. Located in the main station of Bern, Switzerland. Reasonable price also.

Best Italian coffee you can get in Berne’s bustling train station. 🇨🇭 🇮🇹 🚂 ☕️

I dont understand all the bad reviews. I kept going there the whole week while on my business trip here in Bern. The staff was always very polite, nice and fast. The croissants are really good and the cappuccino too:)

Avoid this place. As others have said, the staff was extremely rude. I ordered a cappuccino (which was below average) with my friend here. After 5 mins a staff member told us if my friend did not order anything she could not sit at the table with me. Switzerland is such a friendly place so I was really surprised by this terrible customer service.

Unacceptable - in the Focaccia there was a knot of hair... 🤢😡

I was there yesterday for the first time in the evening and it was really cozy. I can also recommend coffee! The co-working space was always a bit crowded and the cafe itself is also rather loud.

My wife and I recently spent a day at the Effinger Coworking Space and we really enjoyed it. Centrally located, it has a real sense of community which you can feel and sense when you walk in. Really nice and kind people, a great adaption of workspace in a building with character. We highly recommend you visit and spend a day here. We will definitely return during our next visit to Bern.

Part café, part co-working space, this is a great place to have a drink, work on your startup, or answer a few emails. The atmosphere is modern and chill. Besides the ground-floor, there are also co-working spaces on two other floors. A daypass for the co-working space is 30 CHF. Several rooms can be rented for workshops or meetings (from 17-100m^2). The bar offers a selection of locals beer as well as vines and liquor. The food menu is small and mostly finger food. There is an outdoor seating area.

Super friendly staff serves you great coffee and delicious food. I had a vegetarian quiche with a small side salad and both were really good. The place is very comfortable indoors and has outside seating as well. Highly recommended to hang out, have coffee and to have lunch or breakfast.

Coffee and coworking in a relaxed but stylish environment, very close to main station and the city center. Make sure to visit Effinger. The coworking is insanely expensive though.

Pleasant and very friendly coffee place with co-working option. Modern and light layout.

Looks like a great co-working space! I mainly went there to grab a quick coffee before heading back home. The coffee beans are more on the light and smooth side, so not too flavored. Perhaps taking an espresso macchiato will give you the most flavor.

Every time I've past this place it's always been full but my husband and I lucked up today! The drink and food we had was most tasty and satisfying and the staff was super friendly and the place was very clean.

Nice atmosphere, great place to take your computer and work. Tasty breakfast and friendly staff!

Great coffee, the outside space is nice to get some fresh air. Really friendly waitress and good service. Also this place is pretty good for studying since it's quiet and there aren't too many people in the morning.

Great coffee, great Portugese pastries, great staff. Whenever I am in Bern, I am definitely spending an afternoon there. Don´t forget to try the wine and the local beer! Oh and the homemade ice tea in Summer!

I had to wait for so long for someone to appear so that I can order a coffee to go that I decided to leave and find another place.

Good coffee, good chai latte!

Very relaxing place, good coffee and service.

Very pleasant cafe and restaurant with friendly service. We had an excellent piece of raspberry cake and coffee. A good experience.

Latte macchiato : ok average ( you can see the coffee machine 😅.. so no surprise ) On the street u can have tables Service: very friendly

The blonde waitress was very rude. I was going to get a coffee, but I used the bathroom first. She assumed I wouldn't get anything and started speaking to me with contempt and rudeness, treating me like I was a criminal. This place is highly unadvised.

Nice breakfast and a good coffee ☕ I like the outdoor patio very much

Stopped by here cause it had a crowd and a pretty good selection on the menu. We had pasta, some ravioli something, and it was very good, fresh, and delicious. The bread that came out was great too. The salad that came with it was pretty good too. For desert we had an amazing black forest cake, awesome. Service was very good, attentive without hovering or leaving us on our own. If you're in the area this is definitely a place to check out.

We were so happy to find a restaurant that didn't close by 2pm! We got sidetracked sightseeing and the place we had planned to go had closed at 1:30. This was a blessing with excellent service, great food, beer, wine, and friendly service. I highly recommend it.

Came here for breakfast, staff very friendly . Small round tables seat 3 people. Delicious gourmet chocolate cake ! My cappuccino tasted like a watered down coffee with a little froth on top, I guess to be expected as it's not an authentic Italian coffee place. A little on the expensive side for what we had.

Decent drip (batch-brew) coffee. Medium-bodied, no dryness, low acidity, flower/leaf-like taste (but not floral or sweet).

Not too bad for the area. I wouldn’t specifically come again for it but it’s still better than the average for Bern.

Well, Bern is expensive so we are not going to be taking the price into consideration. Love the vibes and the aesthetic. It is super clean and neat. They are fast and friendly. I wish they have more food options, but I cannot complain, so overall it was a pleasant experience. Nice outdoor seating for summer and a few high tops facing the window. Keep the good work !!

Yesterday, I wanted to enjoy my coffee and an amaretti biscuit on the terrace in the sun. Then two naughty girls sat down next to me and started smoking weed. I find it very borderline that the café allows such inconveniences.

Great! Specialty Coffee No 1 of Bern! Amazing Good Taste! Traditional Arabica

Very good cappuccino, 5.40 CHF, it is so nice that they give a glass of water with it.❤️

What more do you need!? Coffee and vermouth! Brilliant combo and lovely space. I'd be a regular if I lived in Bern.

One of the best places to get a delicious dessert in Bern, 100% recommended! 😍

Nice confiserie in the old town of Bern. The staff is very nice.

Pretty bad cappuccino and average service. The lady asked us if we will use the sugar and took it away from our plates. It was just not nice and made us feel not welcome.

Must go there, they had amazing sweets

Lovely and friendly staff. The Cafe Fredo with caramel was perfect on a hot day. Free toilet with purchase or else only 1 CHF

Chocolate Mousse was very good. But, I have to say charging tapped water, in a city that has public fountains with drinking water is not a god thing.

One of the few cafes open on the Sunday morning we stayed in Bern. Sat outside with a decent coffee, a tasty pastry and a few delicious chocolates.

Excellent coffee. Nice place. However when I was there I felt there were some bad vibes between boss and employee. I don't like that. If the boss is not happy about something, he should ask the employee to come in the kitchen and tell him there (and hopefully in a more polite way). Always treat your employees with love and respect. Happy employees = happy customers.

Excellent specialty coffee, very well roasted and extracted. Had a Rwanda coffee on the espresso, which was really nice - creamy and not very acid, and a hand brewed coffee from Colombia which was very very sweet and fruity. The service is very good and the ambiance is cozy. On summer you get to sit outside and enjoy the weather!

Very nice specialty coffee :) You can also buy the locally roasted beans from them.

Perhaps is one of the best authentic coffee shop in Bern. They serves lots of coffee variation with many variants. The price also not too expensive, and worth to your bucks. The barista also a very nice and helpful person.

approx 1 year ago I bought green mk studio coffee server here and some of their roasted beans online. They are pretty nice people. Got my answers replied rapidly. If I could visit Swiss during working or casual life hours I will definitely drop by this store some day. Sending love from China

Worth the hype! This is a beautiful small coffee shop with delicious coffee. I tried an espresso from Éthiopie and a tropical V60 from Colombia, both recommended by the baristas and it was a perfect experience. Went back home with some beans ✌️ can’t wait to taste them. Be back soon

How to use Drip Roasters: 1) take all the cards of coffee they sell from the shelves. 2) wait in the line , start reading them. 3) order your filter by choosing one of the showed descriptions at the casse. Better if you got familiar already while waiting with some of them. As additional: avocado toast is 5 star , so well made. 4)sit outside if hade place. If not wait outside to get the place if someone left. And read the cards with coffee at the same time. 5) enjoy your filter and continue reading. Also you can ask chat gpt what are the scores of each sort. 6) after you finish your filter, choose what coffee you want to buy for home. They had best of the best El Pacer. But was sold out. Every coffee they choose is wow. With your cup they give you the card for the coffee you have chosen. I loved the Batista was paying enough attention even it was so peak time. Atmosphere is young people. Only: I’d love to have better view there!!! Like next to the Bern art museum location. Or have a river!!!! That would be a dream place. You need a decent visual accomplishment to these tastes experiences. But anyway, you come for a good filter here first. They use wave filter for pour over .

The kurkuma latte was good but the cookie could have been better to my liking. The decaf coffee was very good. The staff is very fast and professional. They have many options, and bread too. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the price. The space is very nice and they open on Sundays

Freshly backed breads and cookies. I had croissant and bread. Good ambience. Close to station 🚉. Good customer service. Would visit again.

Customer service is bad, slow servers, they take forever to complete an order. The items are all overpriced for what they are (mediocre). Moreover, there were wasps flying in the pastry area when I visited. Don’t go there.

Absolutely amazing staff and pretzels! The cinnamon roll was a little bit underwhelming, which, with that price tag, was a bit disappointing. Nice, cozy atmosphere, with comfortable chairs. Get the iced tea/cappuccino and a butter pretzel ;)

best iced coffee & slowest service in town. Except for when a few competent people are working, you'll stand in line 10+ minutes for a coffee, and the line won't have moved forward even 1 person. So go when you're not in a rush, the food and beverages are great!

Great Beverages and Food, great location and Ambiente. Sunce its close to the University it tends to be quite full, yet a great place to study. Theres many seats and poweroutlets (also free Wifi) So far the workers were always friendly and polite even if it was packed and busy, will definitely come by again.❤️

best café i've visited in Bern! so cozy, delicious matcha and sweets.. all vegan!! ♡ they even have lovely playroom for children :))
