    Restaurant Kirchenfeld exterior view

    From the outside, the restaurant looks rather plain, but inside guests are greeted with a stylish ambiance. The garden is a real insider tip for enjoying a meal outdoors in good weather. The service was attentive and prompt during our meal, though not particularly warm.

    Veal ragout at Restaurant Kirchenfeld in Bern

    The menu featured classic dishes, including the veal ragout, which was very well prepared. The rösti that came with it also tasted good, though I had the feeling it wasn’t homemade. The portions were rather small. Coffee was served with a very tasty homemade caramel, making for a perfect finish. It’s worth noting that the prices were somewhat high for the overall experience.
