Very accommodating restaurant in the old city of Bern…read more I arrived at Restaurant Schmiedstube at about 7:45 p.m. on a Thursday evening and was immediately seated. I was able to get a menu with a partial English translation (my German is too limited to order much beyond sausages and cutlets). The restaurant offered a modest but sufficient selection, including several standard Bern dishes. There was also a decent selection of wines. I ordered pan-fried trout topped with apples and served on rosti that was very good. The fish was excellently done, and the rosti was good, if a bit oily. The prices were reasonable--CHF 43.20 for dinner, two glasses of wine, and pear sorbet. There are enough good choices on the menu to make this a great place for a family or group.

Only complaint was the price - with the exchange rate, it came out to $40 for a bowl of ramen, bottle of sparkling water, and a small dessert. I hadn't planned to go here, but it was raining and the ramen really hit the spot. The dessert was also very good - mochi pancakes with adzuki bean paste.

The noodles are great, the vegetable ingredients are fresh, and the gyoza was delicious. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because neither broth had much flavor and there was no tonkatsu on the menu (which is what I usually think of when I think of ramen). But - it was the first ramen we've found in the area, and it was pretty good!

Very cozy and warm and it is right next to Einstein house musuem. You can go to the Einstein house musuem first and then sit at the cafe and have a snack. Service was excellent. I would come back and bring a friend again. It is located in the old town area and not too far from the clock tower. You can walk around the entire area and then come to the cafe too.

Very nice patio, overgrown by ivy, so you can sit in the shade and enjoy one of their delicious drinks (get their home made ice tea or an alcoholic drink), I like their coffee aswell (no charge for soy milk).
