Each dish enhances painstakingly sourced produce and meals are served in a majestic setting whose high ceilings, soft lighting and gleaming parquet floors are perfectly underscored by slick unobtrusive service.

In an elegant, polished setting, this auberge rustles up modern Italian fare with international accents. The front-of-house team is professional, friendly and on the ball and the Italianate soundtrack playing softly in the background further adds to the establishment’s warm, bouncy mood. We highly recommend their delicious risotto and the house signature: squid, kohlrabi, squid ink-flavoured crumble, truffle and cumin, together with two Attimi menus and a first-rate selection of à la carte dishes. Swiss and Italian vintages take pride of place on the wine list. A more casual establishment next

Flexible evening menus (3 to 6 courses), well thought out lunchtime menu, a fantastic wine cellar and slick friendly service.

A narrow road leads up to this wonderful restaurant surrounded by vineyards and boasting a pleasantly shaded terrace overlooking Lake Biel – dining al fresco here is an absolute joy!

This contemporary brasserie close to the lake offers unpretentious cuisine.
