Visit to Restaurant Essort in Bern
Essort is located on Jubiläumsstrasse 97 in Kirchenfeld, a quiet, leafy quarter on the edge of Bern’s old town. Inside it is modern and elegant, in winter a fireplace provides warmth, in summer a romantic garden under old trees opens up.
At lunch, Essort serves a set menu or a business lunch (3 to 5 courses). The evening selection is equally – intentionally – limited, offering a 3 to 6 course menu. We came for the business lunch.
We were first served a crispy pan-fried quail on pea purée, with the quail truly aromatic in preparation.
This was followed by a very tasty flank steak with a dark sauce and mashed potatoes.
Next came the dessert, a cheese dessert unlike any I’ve had before: a cheese mousse alongside a mango sorbet – the combination was unusual but worked very well.
The meal ended with a strong coffee and friandises.
The restaurant is highly recommended. It is on the pricier side, which is understandable given this top-level cuisine.
