The Zytglogge is a historic clock tower located in the old town of Bern, Switzerland. Dating back to the early 13th century, it has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a guard tower, prison, clock tower, and civic memorial. The Zytglogge features an astronomical clock with moving figurines that perform a daily show. It's one of Bern's most iconic landmarks and a symbol of the city's medieval heritage. The tower is open to visitors, who can climb to the top for panoramic views of Bern's old town and surrounding area.

Grab some food and drink from the 1,000 of shops and restaurants. Sit with community overlooking the beautiful landscape of Bern and have a picnic beside the Beautiful parliament.

Cool clock. One of the many things that makes the cityscape of Bern interesting. Not sure I'd call it a destination in and of itself. But I'm glad I saw it while walking through the city.

Excellent guided tour and knowledgeable exposition of a fantastic piece of machinery still working after such a long time, with a bonus of breath taking views from the top of the tower.

Bern, the city of bear and big Swiss bank where India s kala dhan, beautiful old monuments and building

It’s interesting to consider the engineering required to build this clock, especially hundreds of years ago. That being said, other than being beautiful to look at, the mechanical features aren’t all that impressive. We waited for 15-20 minutes to see it in action and were pretty disappointed after reading such rave reviews

Exploring the old town in Bern was just lovely. This historical clock tower is from the 13th century! It was a prison before. If you walk on one of the main market streets (near the Einstein Museum) you will pass by.

One side was covered in scaffolding and there is an open public toilet on the road side of the building. So sure, it looks nice on Instagram, but the reality isn’t white as charming.

A majestic clock tower right smack in the middle of the Old Town, with busy traffic passing through it. Taking pictures with the tower is a must, though from what we heard there are specific tours that you can take to view inside of the tour so that's a must. Unfortunately we only found out after we left Bern so that's a bummer. Still quite a grand looking building.

What a lovely clock, unfortunately we did not get to do the tour in side. Be very careful when viewing the clock as there is a lot of traffic from cars, trams and people.

This is a beautiful clock on the side of a building near a fountain statue. It's beautiful and chimes each quarter hour, and it has a movable display. Normally there seems to be a crowd forming to take photos and video but do be aware this is a roadway with cars, bicycles etc who do not necessarily pay attention to random people looking at a clock.

Bern is very beautiful and the zytglogge is the center attraction!!! Visitors can expect a nice treat starting 4 minutes before the hour!!!

Iconic landmark & tourist magnet in the country’s capital city. The clocktower also hosts an interesting mini museum worth visiting! 🕰️ 🇨🇭

It’s on the old street of Bern. Everyone is waiting for the clock ringing and videoing it. Just take a photo with it to prove u been there 😅 lots to see around.

Enjoyed seeing the Zytglogge up close during a visit to Bern in mid-April 2023. This striking historical landmark is hard to miss while strolling through Old Town Bern. Guided tours of the clock tower are available. Unfortunately for me, I did not have the time to tour the clock tower while in Bern.

Great complicated Clock in Greatest Capital city of Switzerland SWISS.

Really not sure if this place is worth the hype. We waited half an hour to see the clock strike at five minutes to the hour and then on the hour. It's cute, but nothing worth going out of your way for.

Zytglogge is a true masterpiece of Swiss engineering and history. The intricate details of the clock's mechanisms are awe-inspiring, and its chimes never fail to captivate both locals and tourists. The charming square it resides in adds to the overall ambiance, making it a must-see landmark that beautifully encapsulates Bern's rich heritage.

Amazing place to see. Tours can be self-guided on your phone. Rich, historical, and inviting. I took pictures and bought a watercolour.

I really liked this cathedral. It may not be as grand as some of the others in Europe but it was so peaceful and pleasant inside. You can also climb up to the rooftop for 5 francs. Great views of the city up there!

Fantastic Gothic architecture, free entrance and a peaceful environment. It is worth seeing this beautiful church that towers over Bern.

My husband and I decided to do the stair tour, and let me tell you this was one of the best decisions we could have made during our day trip to Bern! The views are BREATHTAKING, and you will NOT be disappointed. Please please don’t miss out on this experience while you are in Bern! It was by far the best part of our day!! It’s 5 CHF per person, but WELL worth the money! We were here on a Friday and there was no wait. Also, the bell goes off everyday at 12pm, and we just by chance were there at 12 when the bell was sounding off! We were able to be in the bell watch tower as this happened and it was such a cool experience! If you can try to plan to be there at 12 when the bell sounds, it’s an amazing experience!

Woooow The place has extraordinary view of Bern City from Top. It's worth to climb 312 spiral stairs to see the City. You have to climb clockwise and anticlockwise. No lift, you will feel dizzy because of anticlockwise.

Beautiful place to visit to enjoy a masterpiece of the church inside. When you're inside the church you will feel really calm every peace of stone and wods from the chair, altar and the walls are so old and when you see close, you can see the small details even you can see the mark from the past. Around the church you can enjoy the beautiful build of the church and beautiful views from the garden and for sure the old town of Bern. Really recommend place to visit while you're in Bern City. There is a warning to not take a picture from inside the church, so please respect the rule there.

I was there on a Sunday afternoon and did the tower stairs tour. It was so worth it as the view is breathtaking but sadly, you’re kicked out quicker than I would’ve wanted to be up there for stating that they close by 5pm. But I still enjoyed it

The cathedral is the largest in Switzerland, with construction starting in 1421 and taking several centuries to complete. Its architecture features intricate details, including ornate carvings, stunning stained glass windows, and a magnificent façade. The Münster's tower is the tallest in Switzerland, standing at 100.6 meters (330 feet). Climb the 300+ steps to the top for panoramic views of Bern's Old Town, the Aare River, and the surrounding hills and mountains. It's a rewarding experience for those who enjoy a little adventure.

Great view even on a wintery foggy snowy day (we couldn't se a single mountain) - the Bern city is really systematic and nice and the climb is worth it.

The cathedral built from 1421 onwards reflects political and economic developments in Bern. Its grandiosity is, at the same time, a reflection of the importance of the Catholic Church at the time and the need to demonstrate the power of the government, which was conquering adjacent territories. One of the highlights of the Gothic-style façade is the depiction of the Last Judgment on the main portal. The work is considered one of the most complete collections of European sculptures of this style.

Didn't have a chance to get inside since there were some ceremony going on. Outside is great tho.

the Cathedral of Bern is beautifully gothic. unlike the other Cathedrals, the structure is just a little different when you go in. the details on the ceiling and all around that is extraordinary. i did the climb up to the top and the view made it very worthwhile! (ps: it is more challenging than it sounds)

So beautiful from outside. The structure is different and unique. Didn't get the chance to visit it from inside as there was a concert inside.

Gothic-style reformed cathedral in the old city of Bern. Takes a 5 Swiss franc entry fee and a solid climb up a winding fleet of stairs, but provides the reward of the highest 360-degree outlook in town! Unparalleled view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountain chain & old city center! 🇨🇭 🗻 ❤️ PS: There's also a lovely park adjacent to the cathedral.

The Bern Minster is located in the heart of Bern's old town and is easily accessible by bus or tram. Entry is free and you can also take photos inside. The bell can be visited and entry costs CHF 5.00. The path up to the platform is very steep and has many stairs. Once at the top you will be rewarded with a great view over the city of Bern and the surrounding area. You can then go up the stairs to the top platform.

The inside is free nice church. The top has Beautiful views at admission only $5 for going up the tower, it’s around 350 steps to the very top. good exercise. You can see all of Bern up here. Definitely recommend.

Bern Cathedral, built in 1421, is a Christian church with three narrow passages and a model of late Gothic architecture in Switzerland. Its tower is 100 meters high, which is the tallest building in Switzerland, and you can enjoy the medieval street view of Bern from the tower. The main attraction of the church is the magnificent relief created by Erhart Küng on the front of the church. In addition, the stained glass skylights and the beautifully carved choir seats in the church are all worth seeing. There is also a pipe organ composed of 5404 brass pipes built in 1726. It is the largest pipe organ in Switzerland and can be heard during regular concerts or Christmas. From the top of the tower, you can reach the top of the tower through 344 steps spiraling up from the church door, overlooking and overlooking the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks in the distance.

Beautiful cathedral, the main entrance have a very ornamented arch with lots of characters and stories.

Lots of stairs but worth it, great view of the city and the Aare.

Access to the tower is only 5 francs, so probably the cheapest thing you'll pay for on a trip to Switzerland. Walking to the top you get an interesting inside view of the architecture and the views from the top are great. If the weather is good it's a must-do activity for tourists in Bern

The architecture is stunning and therefore totally worth the visit. The café inside is nice too, restaurant nearby great and lots of land to walk around. Exhibitions: Paul Klee has a fascinating story, the exhibition I saw (not sure if permanent or changing) wasn't as fascinating as the story...the changing exhibition of art brut artist was somewhat interesting and the tour we took helped a lot (great tour guide) still, at 20CHF per entrance (plus 5chf for tour) it is overpriced- 10-12CHF should be sufficient

Incredible museum with a great mission. Includes various Klee exhibits but also other artists, music, and educational activities in a beautiful space.

I had studied at the university and today I saw the original papers. A well-organized exhibition, distributed in space according to the author's creativity and life. Interactive involving visitors to draw something inspired by the exhibited works. A wonderful staff. The space outside and inside offered places where you can read books, rest, etc. Very clean area. With toilets and a water fountain outside where you can drink fresh water. Free entry! Every Saturday during the month of August 23', you can visit all museums for free.

The building is already a masterpiece by the Italian Renzo Piano, so beautiful so modern, I unfortunately has the occasion to visit only one exhibition ´ Klee, Chaplin, Sonderegger’ but it’s amazing show with a great collection

Modern museum with a unique arquitecture. Inside the public spaces and the exhibition halls are beautiful and amazingly designed. The exhibition itself was nothing extraordinary just great...👍🏻Paul Klee deserved to be named after...yeah 😎

Zentrum Paul Klee is a museum dedicated to Bern’s favourite artist Paul Klee - an important 20th century Classic Modernist artist. The museum has an architecturally pleasing exterior with its wave-like form signifying the artist’s fascination with water and nature and how humans integrate with it. The interior is clean and uncluttered and makes for a very pleasing viewing experience. I chose the audio guide and it accurately reflects Klee’s inspirations and events in his life. For Paul Klee fans it would be an awe inspiring experience. For those who don’t know him then it may not overwhelm you. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and getting to know his life better. Mind you they have over 4000 pieces of the artist and roughly 100 pieces are on display so much is in storage. I particular enjoyed Pomona, Overripe and Seasnail King. The admission was included with the Swiss Travel Pass and the audio guide cost me 6 CH. Washrooms and lockers are in the basement. Overall a great experience for me. For those who don’t know him then maybe less than inspiring.

Liberating space dedicated with loving care to a complicated man with a complex legacy and his art. Highly recommended. Has a great space for kids and is highly accessible

Beautiful exhibition space celebrating Paul Klee’s life and work. Gorgeous building by Renzo Piano. Surely would want to return there on my next visit in and around Bern. A bit on the pricey side, especially for families, factoring in parking fees, the down-sized viewing of Klee’s work, and expensive gift items. Also, not all of Paul Klee’s most cherished works are available for sale as postcards. I really missed seeing his watercolors done in Tunisia. There was nothing on display or available for sale as postcards. The documentary movie about Paul Klee’s life was very good and worth the time. I will surely visit again, but next time, structure my visit around an event or exhibition of interest.

We love Paul Klee's work, and stopping to see this museum while touring Switzerland is a must-do for us. It's well worth planning extra time to also see a traveling exhibit and walk through the grounds.

Wonderful centre for exhibitions and recitals. Paul Klee exhibition is fascinating. Lovely area for children to play and be creative. Beautiful items for sale in the shop. Delicious food and drink in the cafe.

The biggest collection of Paul Klee’s masterpieces. Absolutely beautiful park and a building. A lot of nice temporary exhibition. Master classes for children are also organized. Definitely worth to visit.

A spectacular arrival with a building emerging from the ground by the architect RENZO PIANO. The forms blend perfectly with the landscape, almost disappearing into it. Once inside three interconnected buildings. One with restaurant and seminar, one with perpetual and ephemeral collection, one with research center. It is very pleasant to look at every corner of this building. For the exhibitions, that of Paul Klee in the basement retraces its history very well through its evolution, and there are opportunities to create things. For the ephemeral exhibition for me it was Joan Miro. A very interesting installation with very beautiful pieces to discover. For the shop I find that something is missing, I think there are many ways to improve it. Unmissable passage for those who appreciate art and for others too with magnificent views.

Awesome place. The architecture of the zentrum Paul Klee is like a magnet attracting one into it. I expected to see more works of Klee, but this collection was good, too. Very well maintained, friendly personal, well situated, and easily accessible with the tram (No.12).

This is definitely one of the top museums for modern art in Switzerland, honoring its citizen Paul Klee. Just now there are two exhibitions, one presenting his contemporary, Juan Miró and the second, featuring a selection of Klee's work, called "the technical frenzy of Klee". Both are extremely interesting and should not be missed. The premises are beautiful and themselves worth a visit and the museum shop is of high quality. We particularly like the Klee postcard section where you will always find something appealing to send to you friends or beloved ones. A must when visiting Berne.

Nice view, very busy although I didn't visited during the weekend. There were many kids around. Very easy access from Bern city. The path for going up walking is nice and easy, around 40 min.

It is a very nice place where you can see the whole Bern city and beyond. You can reach the top by funicular or you can walk around 15-20 min. There is a tower from where you can see mountains chains. Just be sure there are no clouds.

Very nice place for walking with excellent view

It's a beautiful small hill in Bern. Hiking and funicular options are available. With the city pass the funicular is for free. If you are lucky with bright sky then you can even see the alps and Jungfrau as well. The city view in lights is mesmerizing. There is a restaurant available on top of the hill where you can enjoy some food as well. There is a play area for children also available.

Recommend going on a sunny day, and preferably not Sunday. The toboggan ride was closed and views were good but not great (it was raining). If you’re staying at a hotel in Bern, your guest pass will allow you to ride the funicular for free. You could also hike up/down. We walked to Gurtendorf which was a sweet, tiny, village with a dairy farm. It’s definitely chillier and windier due to the elevation gain so pack a light jacket!

Nice short hike from Bern, do not miss the tower to get a 360 view of the region. There is also a hotel, restaurants, summer sled track, mountain bike trail, and a nice park.

Great for infants n kids .. the choo choo train is very addictive for them. For kids is free but not for the one accompany them 😄

The guy at station refused to give us tickets for the cable car(train) that takes up just because we were speaking English. He was also lying about timing and he said it’s closed at 7 pm. Tall guy with long hair . Very disappointed

Wonderful, inspiring, lovely views to the Swiss Alps. 💙💙💙💙💙

A really nice walk to the top of the hill. Feels like a great little escape from city life. At the peak, there's great views of the alps, a few places to get coffee, and many opportunities to just enjoy and take in the fresh air :)

Beautiful peak with 360 degrees view of the entire area. To get to the mountain top you can either take the tram (half priced for Swiss pass) or take the walking trail up. Portions of the trail has stairs and paved road making it very easy to climb. On top there are restroom facility, restaurant and amusement park, not to mention a spectacular view.

A great place in Bern to go and relax and spend time in nature. The mountain/hill is home to several farms and offers splendid views over Bern to the north as well as the Alps to the south. There are many hiking paths, as well as a downhill mountain bike track. In summer there are grill spots with free wood. Walking through the forest always gives me a bit of a reset.

Music Festival on the day i went, so long queue for funicular and limited access at the top without the wristband. Even so, thoroughly enjoyed the trip up and the walk at the top. The view platform is a great touch, though a little nerve wreaking if you are anxious with heights,

View is beautiful. The ticket office staff is very helpful and friendly. The toboggan ride is great fun!

Beautiful views, everyone should visit this place!

It takes only 10 minutes to reach this place from the main station (tram 9). After a five minute ride you will be able to enjoy a fantastic view of Bern and if the day is quite clear you will be able to spot mountains far away in all directions! If you travel with kids there is a playground here and also a restaurant. Perfect place for hiking and you can also bring your bicycle here!

The highest point of Bern. You can get a great view of Bern and on a clear day you get a mesemerizing view of the Alps as well . Nice place for a picnic with friends and family. It's a huge area on top and you can spend a few hours enjoying the view from different sides. Has a play area/ activity area for kids. And also a restaurant. Either take a funicular or climb up the hill. Both experiences are awesome.

We had the Swiss Travel Pass and it was 50% off. We were in Old Town and way back to our hotel. The museum only took cash so we had to go to an ATM. Luckily, we made it just before they closed. Einstein really didn’t live here very long and the display is small. If we were constraint with time, we would have not bothered.

Very small, few things to look at. Is good if you don’t know anything about Einstein. Don’t recommend it, better go to the museum.

The movie in the documentary room was informative and I certainly learned a few things I didn’t know about Einstein before, the museum is elaborate and the house although renovated in some parts is well kept in most.. the lady at the bill counter was very friendly and happily guided me around.. I got a few accessories and she offered good advise about carrying and transferring them..!! I love the experience.. just next to the house is astronomical clock. It was surreal to walk the street that Einstein walked and see from the window, the view that he did. I would highly recommend this place to fellow nerds :)

Although the Einstein Cafe extends through the block so there are entrances on two parallel streets, you can only access the narrow stairway going up to the museum from Kramgasse. The approximately 10 minutes video is very good, it details his whole life.

Sweet little museum with TONS of info about Einstein. He was a deadbeat dad and they only briefly touch on that, but I guess a museum devoted to him is not likely to be particularly critical. I always enjoy preserved/restored spaces, so it was nice to see the rooms he and his family lived in briefly. The price was very reasonable and there were only a couple other people there. We definitely enjoyed it.

It's a very steep walking up the stairs. When you reach the 1st floor then you have to purchase the ticket. It's all Einstein's information written on the wall regarding himself and his family. There's some of the family clothing, work table, family photos and his living room featured in this museum. We did not spend a lot of time here. Since the building is old, there's no lift to go up and down.

the house of Einstein, a piece of history that is worth a visit when in Bern. note that there are a lot of stairs. there is also a short film, which paints a clear picture of Einstein's milestones.

Not worth visiting! The first floor is only his living room and the second floor is a museum.

Einstein’s former apartment in Switzerland’s capital city, now turned into a mini museum. Offers a glimpse into the rich life of world’s E=mc2 genius. Watch out for his school grades, which demonstrate that you don’t have to be the best in everything to change the course of the world! And don’t miss grabbing a coffee at the Einstein coffee shop just beneath the museum. 🇨🇭💡☕️

The Einsteinhaus (Einstein House) is a museum and a former residence of Albert Einstein. It is located on Kramgasse No. 49 in Bern, Switzerland. A flat on the second floor of the house was occupied by Einstein, his wife Mileva Marić, and their son Hans Einstein from 1903 to 1905. The Annus Mirabilis papers, which presented Einstein's theory of relativity and contributed substantially to the foundation of modern physics, were written here and published in the Annalen der Physik. During this time Einstein worked at the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property.

As the name suggests, Albert Einstein used to live here for a brief moment before he became famous. There are only two floors you can visit, one floor is preserved with furnitures while the other consists of information board detailing his life. The museum is mostly focused on his family and if you want more information about his impact and work, you'll need to visit the Bern Museum. Personally it gave me a brief insight into his life, though the museum was slightly underwhelming. Entrance fee is 6 Francs but you'll get a slight discount with Swiss Travel Pass. There's also a cafe downstairs the museum that is more interesting I feel.

It was a nice experience to visit this place and know more about the personal life of Einstein. It's private run and need to pay 5CHF with swiss travel pass.

Cool place to see the history of Albert Einstein. It can be difficult to move around when there are a lot of people. The signs have many different languages for people, so it is nice that everyone can read and understand. The staff there was very nice.

Small museum featuring Einstein's house for 2 years with history about his personal life and career journey. They even have a movie room that explains the whole journey.

it is informative museum. It is free entrance on the first floor. If you want to discover more story on Einstein, you need to buy ticket to visit the second floor.

Must visit place very near to clock tower of bern. Albert Einstein stayed here after he started working for patent office in bern. Nice video of his life is shown here.

Expensive entery, not worth to go there with a group. The museum is made of two floors. The 1st floor is Einsteins living room and the 2nd floor is a tiny museum. There is also a cinema where a film about Einstein is played. It is in German and hasn’t got subtitles in English. Normal ticket-7CHF Children ticket-4CHf

That was Dream come true moment for me. Feel very fortunate and proud to see the whole space of one of the greatest scientists whom we read in science, one and only Mr. Albert Einstein 🙏😍 Absolute thrilling.. आइंस्टीन चाचा की जय हो 😀🙏(Hail Uncle Einstein 😀🙏)

This is a great exhibit and museum for science lovers and history buffs alike. Located right in the heart of Bern, it is centrally located around many other sites. The first floor of the exhibit demonstrates Einstein's living area and in the second floor, which is up a tight spiral staircase, provides an excellent overview of Einstein's life and professional accomplishments. The copy on the exhibits is very well done and is very enjoyable to read. The receptionist was very nice and it is well worth the 7 Swiss francs to visit.

Pricey for what it is. I think if it was cheaper I'd recommend stopping by but probably not worth it unless you're a big fan of Einstein's work. I paid 7 CHF, didn't see anything about a discount with Swiss pass. I heard someone say it so I went back to the woman at the desk to tell her I had a Swiss pass and didn't realise and she said she couldn't refund me the money. Whether that's true or not I don't know but I felt she was very unhelpful and not very friendly.

I ask myself why i skipped the visit since many years in the region, it is my fault surely but also the tourism office do not advertise this spot which is full of great information about Einstein and his wife (only scientific female in the same uni as Einstein). The video show in ENG was very good too. One thing which is sad i found was the error of a date on one of the posters. Such a museum should be able re-print that visual 😉

Amazing food next to a beautiful view of Bern. The service was also very good. Even though it is located in such a beautiful setting the prices are relatively cheap. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice place, lovely atmosphere, good food and amazing view of the city! It was full in the evening, so booking of the table is highly recommended. Quite a spacious place.

Great hospitality, food took a bit long to arrive - I was hungry! But they were pretty tasty! Great view on the outside. Recommend to come during sunset time, it’s gorgeous!

A fabulous dining spot in top of Bern city and the interior and exterior milieu are fabulous. An excellent place to take a date or friends for a nice meal. Prices are decent for Bern standards and food quality is good. Staff can speak multiple languages and quite customer friendly and nice. Recommend trying out the restaurant experience.

Exceptional views of the city of Bern, friendly staff, and delicious food. We were a group of nine, so a reservation was required. We ordered the spaghetti a la vongole, a salmon tartar, and pork tenderloin, and two different types of fondue. All enjoyed their meal. Worth a visit.

Food, Service, Location.....everything is perfect. I had course dinner of cheese fondue. It was very good especially dry-cured ham plate is amazing.

It’s a super nice restaurant. I’ve been here at least 5 times over the last few years. However the portions are getting smaller and smaller. See the size of the fork and the meat 😑😂. Otherwise it tastes really good and the service is also great!

Great place. Amazing location on a hill which provides you with the best view over Bern. There is a flower garden next to it. The waiters and the service were fast, welcoming and professional. We sat outside but due to the storm we went in. The table was reserved but they let us sit anyway until they would arrive. I had a few beers in a rush so I didn’t get to see more.

Absolutely recommend! The view alone makes it all worthwhile but our dishes were also delicious. Definitely a great way to make the most of your day in Bern!

Posh restaurant with tasty food and drinks in the capital city’s finest park garden. Unbeatable view of the old town and a short stroll downhill to the city’s bears! No Berne trip will be complete without a pitstop! 🏞️🌹🥗☕️🇨🇭

The place view was really great up the hill and you can see the whole city from above. The food was good.

This is a good place overlooking Bern from above. Be careful, it's very touristic, so it's better to book your table in advance. Also, the parking lot is too small and there is a high chance of staying without any. The cuisine is okay, but the service is slow. The view to Bern is wonderful though. You can also visit the charming park Rosengarten - it's really beautiful and deserves a visit.

Great spot for sunset in Bern with good value for money. We had the sausage with vegetables and the Turkish platter with hummus and other dips. The waiter Sebastian was amazing, very friendly and fast. We will come back!

Decidedly a tourist’s destination restaurant, the staff was nice, and I cannot stress this enough: THE VIEWS CANNOT BE BEAT. I went just after sunset, and it was surreal. The food is just ok, but reasonably priced. The Beer selection is limited, but delicious.

We got an iced coffee latte, beer and lemon basil gnocchi. The latte was probably by far the worst coffee I’ve had in Switzerland. It lacked flavor and texture was bad too. The lemon basil gnocchi was amazing though. The sauce is not too creamy with a strong lemon flavor. The garnish on the top is a potato chip. They also give you complimentary rye bread, but it wasn’t heated or had butter/ oil for dipping. The view was amazing. Supposedly, a lot of the tables with the best views were “reserved”… they weren’t taken by the time we finished so it was very questionable. The staff does their job, but they’re neither happy or angry. Seems like they’re just going through the motions.

I recommend this restaurant if you are looking for dinner with a view! I definitely recommend making a reservation as it is always packed. I tried to reserve a table closest to the city view but was unable to. Totally fine because you can still see the city from far. The food was good, staff was friendly, and price was expensive but expected for the location.

Nice Recomendation restaurant for you guys when you are hanging around in Bern City, Switzerland

We drank two nice wines here. The waitress was very friendly and gave us two little karafs with wine, so we could share and taste the two different wines we ordered. We really enjoyed our drinks!

I had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The amazing tartare was a burst of flavors that danced on my palate, while the goat cheese mousse added a creamy and tangy twist that was simply divine. The star of the show, the Vosne Romanée Cuvée Quatrain red wine, was a perfect companion, enhancing every bite with its rich notes and velvety texture. A culinary masterpiece paired with a wine that elevates the dining experience to new heights. Highly recommend this restaurant!

A cozy place with a nice atmosphere and good selection of wine.

Had a great dinner at Klosterli Weincafe. Food was innovative and well executed, and the service was very friendly. In particular, the tomato soup was creative with complementary flavors and textures. The chicken dish was also a standout. The sausage was delicious and clearly homemade. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor terrace and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance. For those visiting Bern, this is one of the few restaurants in the city open on Sundays, so highly recommend making a reservation to come here.

Everything was very nice here. Stumbled upon it and they took us even without a reservation. It has a great ambiance. The food was wonderful. The menus came in English as well as German. Felix, our server, took very good care of us. Would recommend to anyone.

Good location, and it was nice sitting outside. The food was great, and so was the service

Stuffs are very kind, gentle. Have an excellent menu and large vine options. Excellent interior ambiance. I wish I would have more time to spend here.

The service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. I felt very comfortable dining alone, which is not always the case. A thoroughly enjoyable evening!

Great terrace with a relaxing vibe and a cool history. Servers were great, food was fantastic and the local beer was very good. Highly recommend for a nice quiet break from touring the city center.

Exciting dinner experience. High quality and creative cuisine. Extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

It’s a really beautiful restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. The food was very good. And the bar upstairs was also very well decorated and the drinks were very good. It was a good experience in general. Just beeing there it’s already special since the place it’s so unique.

Place looks gorgeous, however, we were waiting long time to be served. Aperol spritz had no alcohol at all. High prices made us think food is lovely, unfortunately out of 3 starters and 3 main dishes ONLY carrot/orange soup and baked Trout was delicious. Not even once we were approached by the waiter/waitress after we received the food. We definitely WONT come back.

The food was quite good - we had the beef tartare to start, and tenderloin and char as mains. It's more about the venue than the food though - the huge, historic room with its arched ceilings is unique and very impressive.

Delicious food! Perfect for a work dinner. They have a bar on the first level that makes outstanding cocktails 👌🏻

Pleasant dimly lit restaurant located in the basement of what used to be a wine cellar with grand decor. We came late so had a easy time getting a table, but otherwise it was pretty booked. Service was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great; the waitress recommended a superb Berner Geschnetzelts (veal strips) dish with rösti. It came on top of a warmer as a stew with bread. The rest of the dishes were also very nice too. Kids even have a great deal; children under 12 have a 15 CHF fixed price on any dish. We will definitely come back the next time we are in the area.

I felt right at home. Service is good, polite & prompt. Ambience is great. Food from main to dessert is excellent, taste on point. The minestrone's taste was a bit flat tho. However, the restaurant's attention to details gave me a good impression of a well-rounded establishment.

If I can only give them 10*, I will... service was really great from start of booking until our event was finished. They are so versatile, customer service excellent delivery. The food was great, the ambiance is perfect the total experience was really memorable. Highly recommended restaurant, a must-visit.

Stepping into Kornhauskeller in Bern is like stepping back in time, yet the experience is anything but dated. From the moment you walk down the grand staircase, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that is both majestic and warmly inviting. The stunning architecture, with its high vaulted ceilings and intricate designs, transports you to a different era, making the dining experience truly unique. The menu is a delightful fusion of traditional Swiss cuisine with a modern twist, ensuring that there's something to tantalize every palate. Each dish is a masterpiece of flavor, meticulously prepared and beautifully presented, showcasing the chefs' commitment to excellence. The fondue, in particular, is a must-try, offering a rich and creamy taste of Switzerland's culinary heritage. Service at Kornhauskeller is impeccable. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always ready to recommend a perfect wine pairing from their extensive selection. They make you feel genuinely cared for, adding a personal touch that elevates the dining experience. Kornhauskeller isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination. Whether you're there for a romantic evening, a special celebration, or a casual night out, it promises an unforgettable experience. The bar area, with its cozy ambiance, is the perfect spot to enjoy a pre-dinner drink or linger over a nightcap..

I popped in while on a day trip to the city and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was relatively quiet which is good as I had not booked I'm advance! Lovely venue and the food was tasty. I didn't catch the name of the waiter but he was friendly and funny which made it an enjoyable lunch experience.

I had a delicious rosti. Great service. Beautiful restaurant. It seems to me it’s very local people that go (always a good sign)

Food and service is awful, we’ve been waiting for an hour to order our food and get our bill due to the waiter never comes to us after noticing and at the same time the whitefish dish is really salty and the lamb is really gross in taste a horrible fishy taste. Would only recommend the environment

In Kornhauskeller, we met haute cuisine, a warm atmosphere and excellent service. Here we reserved a post-conference dinner, and this restaurant met all our expectations. Communication with restaurant management was delightful; they gave good course recommendations that satisfied our international colleagues' varied tastes. We will recommend this restaurant both for private dates and official events.

Bern is one of the most beautiful and pleasant cities in Switzerland. With a lot of charming places to explore. One of those places that deserves a visit is the Kornhauskeller. It's both a bar and a restaurant in a breathtaking "basement." If you choose to eat, then make sure to make a reservation. If you just want to sip a cocktail or other fine drink, then you can just take a seat at the bar or in one of the lounge chairs. Obviously it's not the cheapest place but given the location right in the city centre and the atmosphere, it's worth it.

Sadly, the restaurant was disappointing. While the food was great, it’s just not acceptable to be left waiting for 40 minutes before receiving the drinks ordered right after arriving. 40 minutes at an empty table just ruins the mood. And it did not get better afterwards. Some things we ordered were simply forgotten. The bar is still my absolute favourite in Bern though, maybe even in Switzerland. Und das sägi als Zürcher :)

The atmosphere is incredible and the interior looks gorgeous. The service was amazing with friendly staff. I didn't like the food though. I took a salmon dish, which was sour, cold, and a few slices of salmon fish and a lot of rucola vegetable which I don't like at all. Maybe I am from Armenia and the taste I have differs from here. But definitely in Armenia with the same money you can taste something very delicious...

Let’s start where it hurts: the terrible service we received tonight. It seemed indeed that the young man responsible for our table was overloaded, but it doesn’t excuse the swearing we heard from him in the background. It took ages just to be able to have him come for the dessert order after several requests. Then, when the dessert arrived, it wasn’t what we ordered. We asked if this is the Winter Plumb and Cinnamon Ice Cream. « Yes it is ». Then, confused, we tried, called him again « where is the cinnamon ice cream? » and he pointed at some vanilla mousse and went away. We asked a manager, and he confirmed its the wrong dessert. On the food side, the Winter dishes were very good (enjoyed the chestnut soup and Gluwine Plumb with cinnamon ice cream). The traditional Berner main course was pretty standard. While you can’t beat the atmosphere of such a place, the service was just a painful experience.

Very unique experience and atmosphere, great food, cool cocktails. Topped off by wonderful service from our waitress Ganya 💛💛

I am so thankful to have been invited to an international group event at this incredible building in old Town Bern. Breath taking interior and great food and drink service. The acoustics for the Swiss Choir and the Aplen horns was amazing!

Unser Esser war Grossartig! Wir wurden den ganzen Abend sehr höflich und zuvorkommend bedient. Dem Personal entgeht nichts und sie sind stehts für jeden Wunsch bereit und zur Stelle. Ich empfinde es als sehr praktisch entscheiden zu können wieviele Gänge begleitet werden sollen. Für mich reichten 4 Gänge völlig aus. Meine Partnerin hingegen, wollte noch einen weiteren anhängen. Gerne empfehle ich die Weinbegleitung. Ich durfte viele Interessante Weine auf diese Weise probieren. Alle waren sehr stimmig zum Gericht. Meine Partnerin durfte ebenfalls mitgeniessen, jedoch wollte sie eine alkoholfreie Alternative. Hier war ich wirklich erstaunt, was für alternativen aus der Bar gekommen sind. Alles sehr stimmig und überzeugend. Einzig negativer Punkt ist die Treppe. Beim Hochgehen, habe ich die Betonkannte nun doch nicht mehr wahrgenommen, aber folglich gespürt 😅 Das Wein & Sein ist für den vollen Genuss nicht für den kleinen Geldbeutel. Jedoch habe ich jeden Gang sehr genossen und empfehle es gerne weiter. (Translated by Google) Our eater was great! We were served very politely and courteously throughout the evening. Nothing goes unnoticed by the staff and they are always ready and available to meet your every need. I find it very practical to be able to decide how many courses should be accompanied. For me, 4 courses were completely enough. My partner, on the other hand, wanted to add another one. I would happily recommend the wine accompaniment. I was able to taste many interesting wines this way. Everyone was very consistent with the dish. My partner was also allowed to enjoy the meal, but she wanted a non-alcoholic alternative. I was really amazed at what alternatives came out of the bar. Everything is very consistent and convincing. The only negative point is the stairs. When I went up, I no longer noticed the concrete surface, but I felt it 😅 Wein & Sein is for full enjoyment, not for a small budget. However, I really enjoyed every course and am happy to recommend it.

Everything is perfect!!! The food, service, wine and environment✨ The food is creative, impressive!! with local ingredients that gives a very wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!!

Kulinarische Kunst in gemütlicher Atmosphäre mit passendem Wein und top Service. Ein einmaliges Erlebnis. (Translated by Google) Culinary art in a cozy atmosphere with matching wine and top service. A unique experience.

Located in a basement in the old town,very good atmosphere! Friendly staffs. We've gone through the 6 course menu. They were good at presenting the flavour of different plants. Not recommended for carnivals.

This was probably one of my best dining experiences in Switzerland. I booked dinner for my wife's birthday on la fourchette for a Friday night. We were trying to find the restaurant but kept walking past it, as Google maps took us to the spot where the restaurant is, but we didn't know that we had to be on the outside of the sidewalk and go down the stairs to the basement. Once we found it though, we were quickly seated and offered a drink and an amuse bouché. I liked the ambient music and lighting. The music was not loud, which allows for conversation without having to yell across the table. The restaurant seemed full, but not in a crowded way. The restaurant has it's courses set up in a way where you aren't brought a menu, but rather you can choose options within a a course. We chose the 3 entrées, and opted for the wine pairings, which was great. The food was amazing. Each dish had lots of flavor and was unlike plain traditional cuisine. After we finished our main, which i believe was veal steak, we were offered either dessert or a platter of cheese. As we asked for the bill, we were also offered some house made chocolate, which was a nice final touch. Most surprisingly however, i had added a note on la fourchette that this was a birthday dinner, and we were surprised with a cake and candle. This was a great end to the experience. The staff was also genuinely friendly and happy, which we both enjoyed.

Favorite meal during this trip！ Both flavorful and artistic for this Michelin one star restaurant.

My recent visit was nothing short of a five-star gastronomic delight. The creativity showcased in every dish was truly inspiring, evidence of an artist in the kitchen rather than just a chef. What struck me as particularly commendable was the delicate balance of scents. Unlike several culinary establishments in Switzerland, which tend to overuse perfumes, the aromatics here were wonderfully nuanced and restrained. They enhanced rather than overwhelmed the palate, making each bite a revelation. To label this one of the best experiences in the region is an understatement. The carefully curated cuisine, the harmonious fusion of flavors, and the meticulous attention to detail elevate it to a whole new level. This restaurant is not just a place you should visit, but a destination you must experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary journey.

We had some wonderful meals in Switzerland, and this was the best. High-concept execution, delicious food, excellent service. There is a single set of dishes for the day; we asked to remove pork and they were accommodating. Wine pairings were good. Dessert was amazing.

Food was great, the different courses were carefully designed and tasted wonderful. The main course was good, the other ones were exquisite. The accompanying wine was intriguing and fitted well. Service was on point, personal, funny and knowledgeable. Will be back

Beautiful brasserie and very near the train station. One of the best beef tartare I have had and the blackforest dessert was delicious. Very good service too as expected.

Will start with the good: Beautiful atmosphere and the service was excellent. The food was presented nicely. Negative: The food was severely mediocre and equal to what would be served at a tourist trap. It could be so much better. You could tell that that Zurcher Geschnetzelts was cooked in a big batch and had been sitting for awhile. Not freshly fried in a pan the way it should be.

Very nice place. Excellent food & service. Reservations required. Would highly recommend for any special occasion. Prices are high, but the quality of the food and service are worthwhile.

Overall I think Jack Brassiere has lost its reputation and stature . Dishes that you see on Google are no longer existed : seafood tower , schweinshaxe .. Foods are ok , but not exceptional . Lamb tenderloin is good but poulet with supreme sauce not as expected Wines by the bottle are a lot more expensive than Zermatt . Services are slow , slow .. Hopefully they will be better next year .

We had a wonderful experience. My wife was desperate for a martini and although it was not on the menu, they went above and beyond to make sure it exceeded our expectations. The staff was wonderful, kind, and the food was devine. We intended to stop by only for an appetizer and ended up staying for a full meal as we discovered the flavors and service to be phenomenal. At the end of our meal, we were unexpectedly offered a selection of Swiss chocolates and fruit jellies to choose from which turned out to be a highlight of the meal and sent us off wanting to come back. Looking forward to our next trip to Bern and to Jack's Brasserie.

Amazing service from Tyler! Was super friendly and recommended some fabulous wine. I had waited a full year for the opportunity to come and eat the Schnitzel and it was definitely worth it. For appetizers we tried the mimosa salad which was also very good! Would 10/10 recommend getting the schnitzel!

What a delicious meal in a beautiful cozy setting. We ordered the bone marrow, the grilled Caesar salad, chicken and risotto

A full experience from the moment you arrived every member of the staff are welcoming dressing very elegant impeccable service and professional thank you Nail for the suggestions Also best wine selection and the vegetarian options unbelievable highly recommend

Warmth smiling starting from receptionist and everyone approaches our table. The waitress understand we don't like alcohol and recommend the Mandarins juice and it was good. All the appertize, soup and main dishes were delicious for us too. It was good memories for us in Bern.

Great food, fair price for the quality you get (still pricy of course, but hey, it’s a location with 14 Gault Millau points currently :)). Amazing variety of quality wines. Nice retro-style ambiente with wonderful interior. Some of the staff is excellent, whereas the older ones definitely could improve their friendliness.

Wine and food where up to expectations, but not outstanding ..Service is a shame for a high end place. Uncoordinated and absolutely incompetent.
