Brasserie Bärengraben

While the historic small restaurant is rather small, it has created a familiar atmosphere, offers a wide range of typical Swiss dishes and this in outstanding quality. Goes without saying that also the wine menue is great.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in a calm atmosphere at the Barengraben. The wait staff is a bit stuffy but the service was fine and the food was excellent, though expensive. The decor of the restaurant is quiet and inviting.

I went there with my parents to lunch. We hadn’t booked a table, but they moved tables to “create” one for us which was really kind. Food was excellent and tasty. than enough in plates. You can definitely go there if you’re looking...for simple but really tasty food.

Wow, what a lovely place to dine, the cook knows his business. what ever you like, from soup to pasta, from beef to mussels, great taste, really nice staff, warm hearted cosy place. You need a little bit of time, dont be on a hurry,...be happy and lucky to get a table and then enjoy !!

we have been visiting this nice restaurant on a sunny saturday and could enjoy the small but very cosy terrace, outside of the restaurant. the food was excellent and the service very friendly and professionell. we enjoyed a nice stay, were never stressed and looking...forward to sit in this restaurant during winter time.

A friend of mine loves this restaurant and invited me. Although we didn't have a reservation, a table was found. We ordered the plat du jour but replaced the soup with a salad which cost extra. The salad did not distinguish itself from any other...salad one gets in a normal Swiss restaurant. The main dish was a very tasty chicken corn fed and thin pasta. All in all it was ok, but nothing extraordinary. But what was unusual was the unfriendly service. Ninety five of all Swiss restaurants have very friendly and accommodating service personal. So this was rather disappointing to an otherwise pleasant but not spectacular lunch.

of 27 august we had lunch on the occasion of the birthday of my wife. the personal is so welcoming and organizes a perfect lunch. the menu card has a set of options. we both went for the steaktar who was of excellent quality and taste. well done chef! our other table partners had beautiful rösti with calves or leber slices. the recommended for red wine could not have been better since we had to continue our bike tour. the seating was nice, cozy and with beautiful fresh flowers. from the first minute to the last they feel well maintained. my wife was treated with a surprise birthday cake. we'll be back when we're in trouble. thank you again! luc nicole

For many years visiting Bern my family and I keep promising ourselves a visit to this restaurant, sadly our long wait was a disappointment . The food is excellent, a really good for value Day Card plus a good a la carte menu....Prices were reasonable and the desserts were great they even offer half portions on the dessert in case you have eaten too much already. BUT and it is a big but. We had booked a table for four on a Friday evening. When we arrived we entered through the main front door , the poor couple who were sat behind the door on a small round table were very fortunate not to get their meal on the floor, why they even agreed to be seated like that I will never understand.
