Located approximately 30 km northeast of Mariental, this lodge offers an ideal stopover en route to southern Namibia. Nestled in a lush oasis beneath towering palm trees, amidst the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert, it's a perfect place to relax and recharge. The surrounding area is notable for the green acacias and golden grasses that contrast beautifully with the red sand. The lodge's reception area doubles as a curio shop and is well-stocked with an array of Namibian arts and crafts, locally produced cosmetics, toiletries, jewelry, clothing, and ornaments—a perfect place to buy souvenirs. The onsite restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, ideal for savoring a delicious meal while admiring the stunning views of the Kalahari savannah.

Celebrating "Vegetables in Many Facets", the kitchen presents modern, creative vegetarian dishes with a regional and seasonal emphasis. There is a seven-course set menu with optional add-ons.

Hostess Daniela Jaun and chef Pascal Melliger (partners both professionally and privately) put their heart and soul into running this lovely restaurant. The entrance is somewhat hidden, with a steep staircase leading down into the elegant cellar space and its pretty vaulted ceiling. The chef-patron's cooking is modern and precise, showcasing select produce with an impeccable sense of elegance. A prime example is the succulent and flavoursome line-caught sea bass paired with an aromatic classic fish sauce, avocado purée and fried artichokes. You can choose a four-, five- or six-course format of

This restaurant is a little out of the way, but it's worth the journey to this remote location, knowing that a cosy, rustic-style space awaits diners, as well as a lovely terrace, which is very popular in summer! But let's not forget the cooking of owner Christoph Hunziker: his flavoursome dishes show strong ties to the region, follow the seasons, and are occasionally given a modern twist. You can choose à la carte or opt for the set menu ("Geniesser-Menu"). The service is charming – even the chef likes to get involved front of house. Tip: At lunchtime, the set menu is a bargain.

Housed in the stunning building of Casino Bern, a cultural centre opened in 1909 in the heart of the Old Town, this restaurant boasts a distinctive atmosphere created by the blend of a wonderful historic setting and brasserie chic, which extends onto the lovely large terrace in summer – a perfect spot from which to gaze out over the River Aare in the shade of the trees.

A hip, vibrant spot – and the new venture of Markus Arnold. Previously the driving force behind restaurant Steinhalle, the chef-patron and his entire team have relocated to this chic modern restaurant housed in a former 1970s cinema by the railway station. In this new setting, he continues to create his "Cuisine Voyage". An avid globetrotter, he dedicates his set menu, which changes every quarter, to a different world city – starting here with São Paulo. In the open kitchen, impressions from his travels are skilfully translated into dishes full of soul and flavour. The chefs also come to your

In the attractive Kirchenfeld district, this restaurant housed in what was once the US embassy has an inviting atmosphere – the modern interior design features a harmonious combination of clean lines, warm wood finishings and muted tones, complemented by an open kitchen. The terrace to the rear of the building beckons in summer. The commitment of the owners, Sara and Benjamin Jann is palpable – both when it comes to the charming and attentive service from a team who go out of their way to cater to guests' every need, and the delicious food. The latter includes tender Bäggli ragout made from Aa
