Our Visit Experience at Sua Bern
Quiet Location Away from the Hustle and Bustle of the Altstadt
Sua Bern is located on the quiet Münstergasse, just a block away from the very busy Kramgasse. If the weather is warm enough, guests can enjoy the peace on the terrace. Since it was beautifully sunny during our visit, we settled directly outside. The tables and chairs stand directly on the cobblestones, separated from the street by a rope.
Selected Variety from Around the World
Sua Bern's menu draws from various countries. For example, there's a South American-influenced sous-vide beef steak with chimichurri, Spanish octopus, Swiss beef tartare, Italian pasta parcels on French ratatouille, and also an Indian curry.
What the dishes have in common is a conscious selection of high-quality ingredients, often organic, and careful preparation. The assumption that Sua Bern focuses exclusively on stewed dishes is, in our view, incorrect, as the menu offers a wide variety (e.g., tartare).
On our last visit, we came to Sua Bern for lunch. We could choose from options such as tartare, pasta, chicken or eggplant with a summer salad, meatballs or feta with white beans and tomato sauce, and other delicacies. I chose beef meatballs (Keftedes) with white beans in tomato sauce (Loubia) and Tabouleh. This combination is certainly a classic in Mediterranean cuisine. For lunch, a garden salad is served beforehand.
We placed our order with our server, who took it very diligently. The precision of the service was consistent throughout our visit – there was nothing to complain about.
Excellent Quality Convinces Even Skeptical Guests
The salad, described on the menu as "with homemade dressing, crunchy kernels, and toasted bread," was already a great start. Here, Sua Bern had put together different leaf lettuces, marinated with a balsamic dressing, and decorated with seeds. There was also a piece of dark bread, toasted as described.
The main course then arrived even more colorfully. First, the plate contained beige tabouleh, meaning crushed and cooked wheat. Alongside it, a deep red, creamy tomato sauce was presented, topped with dark brown pan-fried beef meatballs. The white yogurt next to it created additional contrast. Green leaves (watercress?) also served as decoration.
I was particularly impressed by the combination of a piece of meatball, some tomato sauce and yogurt, and tabouleh. Carefully cooked, it simply tastes good.
Satisfied with what had been offered so far, we then treated ourselves to dessert. I ordered an Affogato. Here, a scoop of vanilla ice cream was served over an espresso in a glass. The flavors here also matched perfectly.
