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

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.
