Visit to Restaurant Kirchenfeld in Bern

From the outside, the restaurant looks quite plain, but inside, guests will find a stylish atmosphere. The garden is a real hidden gem if you want to enjoy a meal outdoors in good weather. The service during our meal was attentive and quick, but not very warm.
On the menu, we found classic dishes, including the creamed veal, which was very well prepared. The Rösti (Swiss potato fritters) that came with it also tasted good. However, I almost felt like it wasn't homemade. The portion sizes were rather small. With the coffee, we got a very tasty caramel, which was a perfect finishing touch. It should be noted that the prices for the overall experience were quite high.
