Bern (CH)
A very traditional setting with a bit unsettling service staff: Restaurant Kornhauskeller (26. June 2023)
The restaurant used to be a place to store grains, hence, the atmosphere is a bit like in a cellar, but in an appealing way. I went for the “cold tomato watermelon soup with lemon balm” (CHF 12.00), which was a nice combination of the sweetness of the watermelon and the tomatoey taste of the […]
Simple place with a nice view over Berne and decent dishes: Restaurant Veranda (26. June 2023)
What I absolutely enjoyed about the restaurant Veranda was the little garden patio. If you’re early enough, and you get to pick your table, you can sit in the shade under the trees in the garden outside, which is, truly, quite lovely. The staff is friendly and attentive, and makes sure you have everything you […]
Better than other Moxys but still very average: Breakfast Bar @ Moxy Bern Expo (13. February 2023)
Not exactly what I call amazing when it comes to breakfast, but definitely decent and better than in other Moxys. There is a selection of egg and bacon to get started as well as a variety of different breads … … cold cuts, cheese, milk, yogurt, and vegetables … … as well as tea and […]
Quite a good Chinese food find: Restaurant Glückskeks (12. February 2023)
Since the Restaurant Glückskeks had a rating of 5.0 by 32 people on Google Maps, I decided to give it a try! The entrance is not easy to find, since you need to find the stairs and go down there to be able to enjoy the food. The place was absolutely empty when I arrived, […]
Beautiful location and exquisite service: Restaurant Schwellenmätteli (24. August 2022)
Since I had to be in Berne anyway, it was time to have a nice lunch. I went for the “beef tatar (spicy, roasted toast, butter)” (CHF 21.50) as a starter, which was quite lovely, but the size of the starter was a bit disappointing. What was great though was the speed and the friendliness […]
Amazing view over two lakes with a hearty cordon bleu: Restaurant Harder Kulm (27. June 2020)
If you go up to the Harder Kulm, the only reason you go there is the view and the restaurant. I mean, there is not really much to do up there, but there is a cute little funicular which takes you up the hill and down (CHF 40.00) for an 8 minute ride each way. […]
Amazing dishes but no Swiss German speaking waiters: Restaurant 1903 @ Hotel Schönegg (14. September 2019)
There aren’t too many outstanding restaurants in Wengen (which is kind of logical due to the fact that Wengen is rather small, highly touristic and the majority of the tourists do a one-day trip) but the 1903 is one of them. As a starter I went for the “fitness salad bowl “Schönegg” – salad leaves, […]
Solid and swift lunch offering: Restaurant Il Grissino (11. June 2019)
Sometimes simple dishes are the best – the “risottino carciofi e burrata (white wine risotto with artichokes, pancetta and burrata)” (CHF 24.50) was creamy in consistency and the combination of the pancetta which provided the dish with the necessary saltiness and the smooth buttery taste of the burrata was a great combination. In terms of […]
