We selected Le Nenuphar from Trip Advisor. We parked our car at La Neuveville station and walked for 15 minutes along the shore of the beautiful Lake Biel, to work up an appetite. We arrived without a reservation, but were immediately shown to a table adjacent to the bar.We were asked if we wanted an apertitif. We said yes and were given a choice of wines, from which to choose, but only wine. We selected three glasses of local wine from La Neuveville. The waitress brought our glasses of wine, but took away the water glasses. We had no water before or during the meal - and I developed a splitting headache through dehydration. I would expect a restaurant of this quality to serve water.The waitress was suffering from an overload of nervous energy. She flitted constantly around the restaurant, adjusting seats, rearranging empty tables, changing the table settings, lighting candles, replacing glasses and making changes behind the bar. My companion observed that she must be exhausted, when she finishes work for the evening. BUT she seemed blissfully unaware of her customers. We were very hungry and had been drinking wine on empty stomachs. Our wine glasses had long been emptied. The restaurant was empty at this stage, yet we spent more than 15 exhausting minutes, trying to catch her attention. Eventually she saw me waving at her and came over. I underlined that we were VERY hungry. She brought over the specials blackboard. I expressed surprise that there were only three dishes to choose from and she reluctantly produced a printed menu. The entrees consisted only of three salads, so we decided to move straight to main courses. We ordered a bottle of wine with our meal, which was produced immediately. The waitress poured the wine, without inviting us to taste it first. We were again drinking on empty stomachs.Meanwhile a large group was assembling by the bar, drinking glasses of wine before taking their table.. They were noisy and moving around, towering over us, as we were seated at our table. I felt overlooked and unnerved by the constant shuffling behind my back. The remaining tables of the restaurant were empty.At last our food was served. By now I had a splitting headache, caused partly by drinking on an empty stomach, partly by lack of water and partly by the noisy crowd thronging behind my chair. I nearly asked the waitress if we could move tables - I should have done.The food was exquisite. We had three different meals and everyone reported delicate and mouth-watering flavours. By now, however, I was so ravenous and so distressed, that I was unable to enjoy the food. I bolted down the food.The noisy crowd behind me thankfully had sat down at a table across the other side of the restaurant and it was peaceful. The waitress brought us the dessert menu. We chose desserts and were talking about coffee. But another crowd began gathering at the bar behind my chair and the waitress was now rearranging the tables and seats immediately to the left of us. When the waitress came to ask for our dessert choices, we declined desserts and coffees and fled the restaurant.Stressed, distressed and with a pounding head, I walked back 15 minutes along the shore of the lake to the station car park. The walk was very calming; beautiful lights flickered across the smooth surface of the lake from the villages opposite. We went into the station cafe and drank coffees. The manager greeted us with pleasant and reassuring banter; then we sat comfortably and peacefully and drank our coffees.We spent CHF 152 on 3 glasses of wine, 3 main courses and a bottle of wine. The exquisite food, beautifully presented, justified the prices. But at these prices, I expected the waiting staff to treat me with respect and consideration. I don't expect to be sent out of a restaurant with nerves a-jangle and a splitting headache, after paying these prices. I feel sorry for the chef, who was so let down by his colleagues.

Original, tasty and reasonably priced
Reviewed By Gert-Jan H
I've eaten here several times and I've never been dissapointed.The service is very friendly and efficient and the food is just delicious for a reasonable price (keep in mind most ingredients are flewn in from Asia).Everything is made fresh and beautifully presented. The spicyness of most dishes is adapted to swiss taste buds but you can simply ask for a more spicy preparation.The restaurant is decorated tastefully with some thai touches but do not expect to arrive in an exotic vacation (I've read the other comments), if that's your thing get a plane ticket or expect higher prices. Or better yet; close your eyes and let the food take you to Phuket or Bangkok.Thanks for the positive review!

Niche au coeur du vieux village de Saint-Blaise, dans une maison du 17e siecle, le nouveau restaurant thailandais Red Pepper vous accueil dans un cadre entierement renove, ou les lignes pures et modernes cotoient l'ancien. Red Pepper a l'ambition de vous

The restaurant and the food were ok, good, but nothing more than that. The service was respectful, but no warm. They made a couple of mistakes, but they solved them quickly. The music did not really matched the place.All in all, I think is was an OK restaurant, but nothing extraordinary
