Café du Cerf — Restaurant in Neuchâtel

First visit and not the experience I was hoping for. Firstly, a nice bar with a friendly bartender. Asked for a local beer and was offered 3. Chose a blonde beer by the bottle, it was nice but CHF 9 for a 330ml bottle of local beer was in my opinion expensive. Go to pay by card and told a minimum of CHF 10 was the minimum for card payments but she suggested I top it up and give the extra as a tip! I did. Next up I ordered a draught beer but asked if I could pay for 2 and for the second beer to be poured when I finished the first. No chance! If every customer asked for that her head couldn't handle it! I was about to ask for a food menu but I overheard her say that the kitchen is closed on certain days of the week. This is a weekend in August and this town is a tourist hotspot! Now, in Ireland, we pay for everything by card, coffees, taxis, buses etc and no mention of a minimum spend. If we open a business 7 days per week, we open the entire business! Lastly a man walked behind the bar wearing a T shirt with a shamrock on it and spoke to the young bartender in a way that he should never have done, even if there were no customers around. Not acceptable! I think this establishment needs to move into the 21st century. I may try it again but much improvement is needed...

I ordered beer which was 6.50 CHF and guy who worked there told me that I can pay by card but they will charge me 10.00 CHF (he didn't explain me why). Of course, as a tourist I didn't have anything except the card so I paid. On the receipt there was only 6.50 CHF even if they charged me 10.00 CHF. Beside that beer was good, music ok, but user experience was 0 because of this. Of course, guy who worked at the bar didn't suggest me to buy 2 beers and to save the money, because minimum for card payment is 10.00 CHF. I traveled a lot and never had this kind of situation. Unfortunately if I come again in Neuchatel I will...

Very delicious foods and nice behavior Like most european restaurants , this restaurant has two parts, inside and outside. There is a summer menu and main menu, it depends on you to choose. I found the waitress very nice and helpful. When I spoke English, she switched to English to explain all the food in the menu for me. By the way, I asked her permission to take a photo and post it here.😊 Foods are very tasty here, and i think every portion is enough for two people. It was my second time eating in this place, and both...
