Du Nord Bern – Honest Food and Simple Vibes in the Breitfeld

Du Nord Bern is a simple eatery in the Breitfeld neighborhood that convinces with honest cooking and unbeatable value for money. If you’re looking for uncomplicated dining and home-style food, you’ll find it here.

Atmosphere: Du Nord Bern

Du Nord is located on Lorrainestrasse in Breitfeld – a neighborhood not particularly known for its gastronomy, which makes it all the more surprising. From the outside, the restaurant looks unassuming, but the entrance invites you to take a look inside.

The interior is deliberately kept simple – plain wooden tables, bare floors, minimal decoration. That’s exactly the charm of Du Nord: here, it’s about the food, not the appearance. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious.

The Kitchen: Surprise Menu and Classics

Starter: Beet Soup

The beet soup comes like home-style cooking – straightforward, direct, with typical earthy beet flavor. It’s slightly thick, which gives it a hearty note. For CHF 20, you get this soup as part of the surprise menu – a real bargain.

Main Course: Goulash with Mashed Potatoes

The goulash is the heart of the surprise menu – juicy, well-seasoned, and warming on cold days. The combination with mashed potatoes works well, even if the purée turned out a bit too runny. Cabbage rounds off the rustic character of the dish.

Dessert: Berry Sheet Cake with Cream

The berry sheet cake is homemade – an airy biscuit dough with fresh berries and a generous portion of cream. Simple and “satisfying,” as they say. This is what coziness tastes like.

Service

The service at Du Nord is honest and uncomplicated. The waitress takes time for a conversation and explains the dishes patiently. There’s no exaggerated frills here, just exactly what you’d expect from such a place: friendliness and authenticity.
