Hotel Seepark, which enjoys an enchanting location on Lake Thun, boasts not only stylish accommodation but also impressive dining options. In the evening, this small, tastefully designed restaurant serves a modern, seasonal tasting menu comprising five or seven courses. There is a theme or short story behind each dish, such as "Scandinavian Flavours", "Root of Life", "The Call of Lake Thun" or "Dry-Aged Pork at its Finest". Ambitious young head chef Sascha Spring and his charming team present each dish at the table in detail. The chef's table in the kitchen is available for private dining by p

This establishment has been run by the Fuchs family for 40 years, and these days, it is Rolf and Manuela Fuchs who are in charge. The modern, elegant restaurant atop Hartlisberg boasts not only a chic atmosphere but also a truly magnificent view of Thun and the mountains – the terrace is wonderful!

It is modern and clearly structured, yet classical in its foundations, making for bold and expressive dishes that are pared back to the essentials and packed with vibrant flavours. The four- or five-course set menu can be extended by up to two "surpris

Local sourcing and seasonality are key – and you can really taste the difference! Friendly and adept service. Both restaurants share the same wine list. The wonderful views are best enjoyed from the tables by the windows or on the splendid terra
