Our Visit to Restaurant Eleven Bern
Eleven is in a modern, spacious place. People are comfy on the benches, and the friendly service makes it a nice atmosphere.
I started with a soup that had a strong bacon flavor, but not much kohlrabi taste. For my main course, I had chicken Saltimbocca, which was served hot and juicy. The risotto was cooked perfectly, and the tomato sauce went well with the chicken and risotto. The tiramisu dessert was a small portion, which everyone liked. It's better to have a small, delicious portion than a big and expensive one. The prices are fair for the great location.
The Eleven gets very busy when there are soccer games, so it's best to make a reservation. Book a table early!
