moment — Restaurant in Bern

I recently had the opportunity to dine here and while there were some definite highlights, the overall experience fell short of expectations—especially given the price point.

To start with the positives, the sourdough bread was exceptional, setting a high bar from the outset. The 48-hour cooked pork was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, and the apple vinegar drink was both refreshing and well-balanced. Service was also a strong point; the staff was attentive and professional throughout the meal.

However, some elements of the menu left much to be desired. The starter salad was particularly disappointing—it lacked any discernible flavor, and the combination of ingredients didn’t offer a clear highlight. Neither the flavors nor the textures stood out, making it difficult to understand what the dish was meant to achieve. Similarly, the soup broth lacked depth and complexity, making for a rather uninspiring course. The pine needle dessert, unfortunately, missed the mark entirely—it had an overwhelming, almost artificial quality that reminded me more of a bath bomb than a dessert. The catfish dish was a simple no from me.

Despite a five-course experience, the meal as a whole did not leave a lasting impression. The concept behind the menu was unclear, and it felt like an ambitious attempt that ultimately failed to deliver. The dining setup also played a role in the disappointment—uncomfortable seating made for a less-than-relaxing meal, and the table setting was surprisingly bare, which only added to the underwhelming atmosphere.

Finally, the pricing felt excessive for what was offered. Even at half the price, it would be difficult to see the value, especially considering that the majority of the ingredients were readily available local vegetables. The execution simply didn’t justify the cost, leaving me questioning what the restaurant was aiming to achieve.

Would I return? Probably not. However, for those who appreciate great service and well-executed individual elements like the bread and pork, it might still be...

I enjoyed the evening, and appreciate the effort of Chef sub-chef and personnel, but this place is yet a wannabe.

Some things are really good like the home made sourdough bread and the idea to fuse the apple pure with the grilled radicchio, but majority of dishes and details of the service are raw and not in line with the high price tag.

Let me simplify: we booked but waited 45' to get the bread... the starters are really bad, the beetroot tartare was ridiculous, not to speak of the parsinp. portion are on the really small side serving chicken breast and handmade nuggets is not what you would expect nor were they excellent dessert wanted to be Tarte tatin but was not, not either from faraway. -wine was avarage. price was high (125 CHF per.perosn)

I'll try to come back as...

A hidden Michelin Guide gem in Bern’s Old Town! The restaurant has a sleek, minimalist interior with soft lighting that creates a calm and stylish vibe. It has two floors — we were lucky to get a table as it filled up quickly. You can choose à la carte or go for the Carte Blanche (4 or 5 courses), including a vegan option. The chef creatively and playfulness with locally sourced ingredients creates a delectable journey.We really enjoyed the smokiness in the dishes and loved the pastries. The mains weren’t quite our taste, but that’s personal. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive as well as chefs engaging by describing the dishes served— a lovely...
