Zimmermania — Restaurant in Bern

When a place like this has such amazing reviews you almost always disregard the more negative ones. Unfortunately the negative reviews were right about this place. We were greeted at the door by a woman with a look of disdain but figured it was maybe because we were huddled at the door.

I was sitting outside & all seemed very hectic, waiting time was long, but still the service felt very heartly. The sauce for the entrecote was extraordinary! The Cremeschnitte was quite solid. I‘d try to sit inside next time with reservation. It‘s good but don‘t expect too much...

Simply - the best restaurant in Bern.

But Zimmermania was always this firm 1, #1 - love from the first visit. Wine, snails, open fire meat meals, friendly, experienced and understanding staff - all plays a symphony that pretty much compensates for the general lack of good restaurants and general problem with public catering in Bern / in...
