• Aux Trois Amis★ Michelin 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! Allow yourself to be pampered by the charming front-of-house team led by maître d' Cynthia Lauper as you savour the "Menu Surprise" conjured up by chef-patron Marc Joshua Engel. This is sophisticated cuisine imbued with creative accents, eg venison fillet with black garlic, asparagus and cherries. Alternatively, there are a handful of à la carte dishes. Your hostess and sommelier will gladly recommend fine wines –13.9km
• Maison Wenger★★ Michelin In his elegant lair, owner-chef Jérémy Desbraux quietly regales us with satisfying wholesome fare, crafted with textbook precision. Rather than fussy or contrived, everything smacks of crisp, legible regional flavours to the delight of discerning foodies. For example, the appetisers and petits fours use Swiss rice and local honey and the bread is made entirely from flour ground by a local mill. Even the table arts are a nod to the region from a bell jar that pays tribute to Tête de moine cheese to a huge watch case bearing the restaurant’s logo in honour of the local watchmaking tradition.

• Auberge d'Hauterive - Restaurant Attimi 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 next6.6km
