"Nice place right at the Aare river. We had a casual family get-together there. Food is basic (fish and chips, bratwurst, salads...) but very fresh and well done. Portion sizes were big, especially the sides of fries, which were crunchy and homemade. If you're not expecting super fancy atmosphere, the terrace will be an enjoyable place to have lunch on a weekend."

"This is a solid restaurant with delicious, clean, and reasonably priced food in absolutely gorgeous surroundings, and with very good service. I chose the vegetarian falafel burger which is made with chickpeas and herbs and spices and it was very scrumptious as was my mother's Schnitzel which as a Fitness Teller was served with a wonderful mixed salad. The staff is friendly and efficient and as I said the views and the location are breathtakingly beautiful."
