Restaurant Ringgenberg : Kornhauspl. 19, 3011 Bern

A relaxed place...after some searching for a brunch place, this one was recommended to us. A stroke of luck. No overpriced fancy small dishes with a catalog of additional little things for an extra high charge, but a good selection for every hunger and desire. The Egg Benedict with lots of spinach is delicious. A small selection of extras is also available. The service is friendly and fast, the restaurant is old but cozy, and the location is central with a garden overlooking the city life. If you want to enjoy brunch in the sun, you should book after midday.

We went there for a birthday dinner, and the overall experience was disappointing. The shared salad bowl was tasty and fresh. The vegetarian dish hiwever had dry pieces of polenta, with overall little flavor and lack of some sauce to make it more interesting. We thought the daily fish plate was very expensive at CHF48, considering the somewhat pedestrian peas and mushroom veggies that came with it. Our server was curt to the point of being unfriendly, never came by to ask if we wanted another glass of wine, and no thank you or good by when we left. Considering the price point of the place not very satisfying.

Excellent mediterranean restaurant in the middle of the old town. The flavors were amazing and service excellent. We tried 2 vegetarian dishes and came away impressed with the taste and presentation both. Would come here again to try their new specials.
