It's been almost 12 months since I last ate here and nothing has changed with the superior food quality and service. The service is sharp and efficient, waiting times between courses is perfect. Quality of food is excellent and varied.

Celebrating our 39th anniversary was a joy here. The service was very formal but friendly. We started with champagne (3 choices) and had a good bottle of Swiss wine. The food was very good including the venison and the salmon. Portions were slightly on the small side but at the end we were just right with a dessert or two. The milk and honey was fun as was the peach Bellini sorbet. Terrace view at sunset was nice. Tables are widely spaced for privacy and the sound level is pleasant.

Auswärts gehen, heisst nach Hause kommen. Das Restaurant Casa Novo ist das Zuhause für alle, die sich gerne wie daheim verwöhnen lassen wollen. Ein stilvoller, grosszügiger Familienbetrieb mit einem unvergleichlichen Ambiente. Empfangen von Gastgebern, die noch wissen wie man persönlich buchstabiert.

We erroneously reserved a table at the wrong date (our fault), but the chef du service twisted his arms and found a solution to accommodate us - this was really great! Also through the whole evening the service was at an exceptional level. We visited on a lush summer evening and soaked up the wonderful atmosphere just above the Aare river in the old town of Bern.
My starter was the star of the evening, a mesmerizing beef tataki with melon compote. The main, however, was a bit uninspired: lamb entrecôte with beans and nothing else; here I definitely would expect more sophistication. To close they served a decent blue cheese. Also, the place is famed for decent wines.
Normally I would deduct a star for the weakness in the main course, which was a bit of a disappointment in such a classy restaurant. The service, however, was top notch and being able to compensate for the reservation mistake from our end definitely wins again an extra point!
The place is pricey, by the way: Expect to pay CHF 100 per person if you're humble and at least 150 CHF if you want the real feast.

An exceptional Japanese specialty restaurant located slightly outside of Bern. An inspiring and minimalistic design, which manages to convey warmth; an absolutely irreproachable menu and service - this is a rare find, and a dignified successor to the regretted Kabuki at Markthalle. The sake selection to accompany the menu is particularly good. Prices, while high, are not astronomical, and well worth the experience.

6. Wein&Sein mit Haerzbluet
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 171 reviews
Wein&Sein invites diners to enjoy a meal in their vaulted cellar or on their summer Terrace. The 24-seat restaurant is in the back, and the front houses the bar with its wine cabinets containing 300 bottles on display. The kitchen team will spoil you with a seasonal evening menu of several courses and a lunch menu that changes daily. Taking the motto "great wines don't have to bear great names," the sommelier Silvia Glockler will recommend a suitable wine - either to accompany your evening meal, as an aperitif, or at the bar.

The setting is lovely , in a old cellar. The menu is set each night, your only choice is how many courses (3/4/5) and what wine or beverage. We ate there April 5.
Amuse bousch: green garlic soup shooter and a quail egg with beets.
Menu, we chose 4 courses, left out the cheese course.
Salad: cream cheese wrapped in cabbage on a bed of greens with pommegranite seeds & pine nuts
soup: chickory, way too tart , very weird tatse
main: angus beef a sauce with flower greens and sweet potato. Excellent
dessert:a chocolate mousse with chili chocolate ice cream, some hard chocolates, a cookie & a jelly.
All in all, other than the chickory soup, it was a good meal. I just wish there had been choices of each course, or some courses, like maybe 2 mains to chose from?

8. Puccini

Reviewed By Edwin429 - Bern, Switzerland
I do not understand why I ignored this restaurant for so long. Its proximity to the Belp station allows for easy access, its opening hours are normal for Switzerland (we don't work on Sundays). Maybe it is the general idea of going to an Italian restaurant that didn't appeal. In Switzerland there are plenty of Italian restaurants where you can get a decent pizza, but anything else is a challenge. Not so for Puccini.
Food: 9 from 10 points.
Whenever you have something Beef (Entrecote or filet) the waiter should ask how you would like it (Rare, Medium, Well-done) and it should be brought like that. Puccini cook did, including a very tasty side dish of grilled vegetable. Though expensive the quality offered justifies the price. Children's menu is slightly limited (4 dishes only), but in my opinion sufficient for a very good price. There are some good wines on the list and surprisingly the open wines are available in a wide range as well. The 1 point loss was that the medium required beef filet came signon (rare), not a point (medium). Due to the quality of the meat, this was however a minor issue.
Ambience 8 from 10.
The interior is cozy, even when some Christmas flower arrangement catches fire and the stench was around for a bit ;-). Benches around were a bit uncomfortable, even with the available pillows.
Service, 7 from 10
Slightly disappointed. We may have been there at a wrong time, although, when I came in, 3 waiters were not occupied, nobody rushed to welcome us or take our coats. Nobody really said goodbye either. Food was however brought speedily and with a smile.
I will come back here.
Advice is to make a reservation though since especially during the weekends this place is swamped.

It's a beautiful place, and in summer the patio must be gorgeous. My friend was quite happy with her starter and the really tasty fish. I took the Beef Bourguignon, which is one of their signature dishes, but I was greatly disappointed: the meat was very dry and tough, definitely not worth the money. The Tarte Tatin was rather unlike any other of its kind I've seen: a lot of apples and the wrong kind of pastry. Excelent ice cream though! Over all I just expected it to b a lot better than it was. And since I did tell them I was not happy with the meat it would have been nice to see a little gesture to say sorry, like a free coffee or such - but this seems to be a concept that hasn't made its way into Switzerland yet.
