La Terrasse
One of two delightful dining rooms at the Bellevue Palace (see Hotels), La Terrasse is the place to go for Bern's most refined and imaginative gourmet cuisine. The restaurant offers sophisticated dining at its most charming and exquisite, along with lovely views of the Alps in the background. The cuisine is decidedly modern but with roots in classic Swiss and continental traditions.

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.

Price: $$$-$$$$
Schwellenmätteli
This is a trendy and popular place on the bank of the River Aare. Dubbed the ‘Riviera Restaurant' on account of its island-like setting by the river, it consists of three buildings, each with its own particular atmosphere. The Terrasse, standing right above the river, is an excellent restaurant with bar and lounge. The cuisine is mainly a blend of local and continental elements.

Altes Tramdepot Brauerei
This restaurant and microbrewery has an excellent location by Bern's bear pits 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 one of the home-brewed beers on offer.

Klötzlikeller
Allegedly the oldest tavern in Bern, the Klötzlikeller can trace its history back to 1635. While it is commonly referred to as a wine cellar, it is today just as much a welcoming eatery offering hearty local fare interspersed with a number of international dishes. It is a nice place to eat and drink well at a reasonable price.
