So much variety on one plate, and a beautiful combination of sweet fruits and savory vegetables. Highly recommend. It was more expensive than the other reviews on here would have you believe though.

My friend and I came here based off the reviews and were pretty excited to try it out. When we…read morewalked in there were two main sections inside, one more casual and the other was a bit more upscale. We sat in the upscale part and the decorations were great, the wood around the room really set the atmosphere. I forget the name of the dish I got, but I know it was grilled veal wrapped around arugula with a side of lemon risotto. While the veal was tender and packed with flavor, the risotto cleansed the palate and kept the dish light and summer-y. There was an herbed butter served with the veal that was so incredible that could live on that alone - truly a wonderful meal! My friend got the traditional veal in the cream sauce with the side of rösti; she enjoyed it very much. I would come back here in a heartbeat - everything was wonderful!

I heard there are around 450 different types of cheese in Switzerland. This place had most of them I think. The price for standards was considered quite normal but for where I come from this place seemed expensive! They even showed the making of cheese which was very interesting. The process is very hygienic and enlightening! There was special cheese for the Swiss specialty, Fondue, and Swiss raclette. There was also touristy stuff which makes this place even more interesting. This place is certainly out of the way of the proverbial tourist lane. I highly recommend this place and was glad I came and hope to be back again someday soon! Thank you for the Schweiz memories!

Yelp Review 2026 #94:…read more Established in 1858, Old Swiss House is in a building that has served as a post office, then an antiques shop. "For three generations, it was lovingly run and brought to life by the Buholzer family, and every single piece here tells a story. On August 1st, the house passed into the hands of the Friedli-Studer family from Escholzmatt. Through Distillerie Studer, their name has stood for Swiss culinary excellence for generations. In this spirit, they now carry forward the tradition of the Buholzer family." It's an old upscale Swiss restaurant famous for its table-side Wienerschnitzel and table-side chocolate mousse. We didn't make a reservation but after 12pm and they had tables available. Not everyone was dressed up. Our server was friendly and very chatty. A few more people with no reservations walked in. Although I was curious about their Wienerschnitzel, the portion is for 2 people and I simply wasn't in the mood to eat that. I've been craving pasta and fish (not together) after a few days in Switzerland. I looked up their menu the day before and planned on getting their lobster pasta. Tagliata vom Rindsfilet Mit Hausgemachter Café de Paris und Pommes Frites: Beef fillet Tagliata with homemade café de Paris and French fries. So, basically, beef fillet with buttery breadcrumbs served with fries. 4/5 Zarter Rocklobster Aug Nüdell, Serviert Mit Hummersauce: Tender rocklobster on noodles served with lobster sauce. This was exactly what I wanted and needed. 4/5 Unsere Hausspezialität Mousse au Chocolat mit Schlagrahm - am Tisch geschöpft: "Our house specialty. Voted the best mousse in Switzerland by the NY Herald Tribune: Mousse au Chocolat with whipped cream - served at the table." I'm not sure I've heard of NY Herald Tribune so, I chuckled because it's not like it's the NY Times. I love chocolate mousse and don't care for awards and newspaper features for it. It's rich, dark, creamy and glorious. The table-side prep lasted about 2 minutes. It's not like they make it from scratch next to your table. The server just whips the cream and fluff up with mousse, serve two big dollops of chocolate mousse under the whipped cream on a plate. 4.5/5 Their best dishes are German and French which makes them truly Swiss. I left feeling satisfied. The restroom is downstairs. They have a wall of fame with pictures of celebrities and politicians that have dined at Old Swiss House such as Frank Sinatra, Pres. Nixon, Pres. Carter and Pres. Johnson, Gorbachev, Federer, etc.

The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, although service was a tad bit slow. The food is quite expensive but normal for Swiss standards, and honestly felt it was worth it given the large portion sizes. The spicy pork bratwurst was juicy and satisfying but a bit too salty for my liking. I also wish it was a bit spicier! It came with some caramelized onions on the side which were drenched in sauce and paired well with the sausage. The potatoes were buttery and delicious. I've had a lot of potatoes during the past two weeks in Europe and these were among the best. The veal schnitzel was also quite good. It was lightly breaded on the outside and succulent on the inside. We ordered the risotto on the side which was creamy and flavorful, but we had a hard time finishing due to the heaviness of the dish. Definitely worth a visit if you're seeking traditional Swiss food - you won't be disappointed!

This place should easily get a one or two star Michelin and when I asked, they replied that they like to keep it that way, a very Swiss-like discrete answer.

Dinner here runs about 100 Swiss francs but that includes wine pairing already selected by the chef. That's a real bargain, especially in Switzerland. Highly recommended when visiting Bern!
