Jack's Brasserie

One of Bern's best restaurants, the bistro-style Jack's Brasserie is conveniently located opposite the railway station, and offers a busy and cosmopolitan atmosphere that somehow also manages to be calm, friendly and relaxing. The food is consistently of top quality. The fish dishes are particularly exciting, although the Wiener schnitzel, a house speciality, is sublime.

Altes Tramdepot Brauerei

This restaurant and microbrewery has an excellent location by Bern's BearPark and attracts quite a lot of tourists. The restaurant offers great views of the Old Town from its terrace, and it gives guests the chance to see both the in-house brewery in action and the chefs at work in the open kitchen. The atmosphere is lively, and the food is hearty, flavoursome and accompanied by the restaurant's own home-brewed beers.

Address: Grosser Muristalden 6, Bern, Switzerland

Schwellenmätteli

This is a trendy restaurant, bar and lounge complex on the bank of the River Aare. Dubbed the 'Riviera Restaurant' on account of its island-like setting by the river, it is a popular venue for al fresco dining in summer. The cuisine is mainly a blend of local and continental elements.

Address: Dalmaziquai 11, Bern, Switzerland
Telephone: (031) 350 5001

Kornhauskeller

Housed in the basement of a church-like, former granary building, with lofty vaulted ceilings and wall frescoes, this atmospheric candlelit restaurant draws the local smart set for excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Reservations are recommended.
