Jedes Mal, wenn ich wieder in Bern bin, besuche ich gerne den Café Aarbergerhof, oder Araber, wie…read morewir es in Bern nennen. Die Bar ist gemütlich, wo man immer interessante Leute trifft, wie auch das Restaurant, wo es immer ausgezeichnet schmeckt. Wir gingen mit meiner Mutter zum Mittagessen. Wie immer war es schön gedeckt und sehr einladend. Meine Mutter hatte den Tagesteller mit Schweinekotelett, Kroketten und Gemüse, was sehr lecker war. Mein Freund wählte die Hausgemachte Pasta mit Burrata, Pesto, Tomaten, Spinat, Knoblauch und Chili. Ausgezeichnet!!!!! Ich hatte Lust auf feuriges Beefsteak Tatar mit grünem Salat. Hervorragend!!!!! Der Service war, wie immer, ausgezeichnet. Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal!

The menu here is weird, a mishmash of different cuisines, but the reviews were positive so we just…read moregave it a try. Food was very good, we ordered an appetizer but got it prepared differently (shrimp cocktail came out cooked in some shallot juice, but it was really good so no complaints). As I said, the menu is weird so I ordered fish and chips, fish was really good, light batter and cooked well. Fries were solid and the tartar sauce was different than I expected was actually great. Better than most tartar sauces I get usually when I order fish and chips My wife ordered the Spanakopita, she said all the ingredients were fresh though the dough was more like a calzone than a filo dough, but it tasted good Switzerland isn't cheap, so the cost was a bit more than the US (I live in NYC) but with the service fee included it really was close to a wash as to what we would have spent on NYC when you include tip. Service was good, besides getting a different shrimp dish. If I am ever in Bern again, I would go here again. I can see why it's been open since 1973

Uncomplicated elegance, great taste. The perfect restaurant in Bern for a medium budget. In summer,…read morethey have an open area outside overlooking the river where they serve the same dishes. Besides their regular menu they also serve tapas.

My girlfriend's best friend from Madrid was visiting her in Germany, and we had just finished a…read morewonderful day trip to Bern. Before heading back, I wanted to get a bite to eat as I was very hungry, and the gazpacho on the menu looked many times more appetizing than a greasy McDonald's hamburger. My girlfriend and her friend didn't really want anything, but I convinced them that they should have a snack too and then we would go. So we sat down, I ordered my gazpacho, and my girlfriend and her friend ordered one tapa to split -- I asked them to order more (I was paying anyway) but they didn't want to. Even though you have to pay 2 franks per person to sit there (haven't seen this in a very long time). This small order seemed to upset the waitress even though the restaurant was mostly empty anyway. She continued to express her displeasure at how cheap and worthless we were to the bartender, loud enough for us to hear. We had had a wonderful day but after leaving, my girlfriend was very upset, her day almost ruined because of the inexplicable hostility of the waitress. The gazpacho was actually quite good and the other dishes on the menu looked interesting. And I would have loved to have one of the Swiss wines on the menu if I didn't need to drive for a few hours after that. So it's a real shame that I would never consider returning to this place only because of the astonishing behavior of the staff. I have never encountered this level of rudeness before, especially not at a restaurant with these sorts of prices. It seems especially unwise for such a restaurant to do everything possible to upset and humiliate customers who might otherwise have returned another time to spend more money, as I likely would have. I enjoy nice restaurants, including pricey ones, but this one will never be on my list. Please be aware that if you are spending more money, they'll probably treat you better. But I don't know how I could ever recommend a place that doesn't treat all of its customers with the respect they deserve.

Great Italian dinner on the river! Stopped in on a whim while in town because we were craving…read moreItalian, and this place definitely didn't disappoint. I had the Hawaii pizza, and I really enjoyed it...crust was thin and just the perfect mix of dough and crisp, lots of cheese, good sauce, sweet pineapple chunks, and chicken that seemed to have some sort of lemony marinade. My husband had the beef lasagna and a green salad, and he seemed to really like both items. The prices are typical and the service was solid. I would recommend for sure!

First time trying fondue as tourists in Switzerland but honestly wasn't a fan of the chewy bread…read moreand bitter tasting cheese. It's also way overpriced I feel idk if this is what I should expect with fondue but I wasn't a fan. Service was friendly, google mentioned they are open until 11.30 but seems like their kitchen is closed by 9ish they only accommodated us because we wanted fondue. Ambiance seems nice for a dinner out.

Couldn't come to Switzerland and now have fondue!…read more Your fondue will come with a large basket of freshly cut bread, as well as a bowl of fingerling potatoes and a side of pickles and onions. I actually preferred the fondue with the potatoes as opposed to the bread but both options were lovely. The pickles and onions were great to sort of cleanse the palate. This restaurant was so cozy and romantic. Highly recommend stopping here for a meal!
