BONBEC in Bern

Full vegetarian and absolutely excellent! Lots of diversity, lots of flavors and tastes! Impeccable service, cozy and welcoming place, very good choice of wines, and fine and delicate desserts.

Small menu for dinner, but really lovely food with lovely fresh ingredients. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the interior of the restaurant was lovely and comfortable.

Excellent Vegan and Organic restaurant. The desserts are delicious. Great atmosphere

One of the best vegan/veggi restaurants I have had the pleasure of eating at with reasonable prices. They know what they are doing, local and fresh products. A real delight. I will come back and I highly recommend this place. The room is pleasant and not noisy. The service is very professional and smiling. Only positive points. PS. we tested the Tempeh Curry and desserts

I was there on Valentine's Day 14.02.24 Very good. I will be back for sure.

Really delicious food! Nice romantic atmosphere

With lots of love and charm. Simply sensational!!

Very fine Vietnam beef, great hummus and delicious caramel dessert!

A small restaurant in the old town. The card is a little too Asian loaded. However, the food itself was very good.

Food was good, a little bland. Service very friendly. Nice visit

Very good restaurant with a delicious selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The service is also very good and attentive. I can definitely recommend it.

Small menu with Asian dishes. Local organic ingredients are used and there are gluten-free, lactose-free and also vegan options. The staff is extremely friendly. Unfortunately there was a problem with my order, but they responded very courteously and offered a dessert.

Mediocre food, very small portions, exorbitantly high prices! Definitely not worth the money!

Would you like to enjoy a fine meal, good service and a great ambience on a warm summer evening? Yes in Bonbec!

Food was indeed fresh and tasty as advertised, but took too long to be served by quite unprofessional staff.

If you don’t speak german don’t go there. The waitress doesn’t speak English and she will respond in a very rude way if you try English. We just left without ordering!!!

Lunch was very good, but the portion sizes were a little small for the prices. I also find the food in the evenings to be a bit better.

Excellent small restaurant in lower part of town, with interesting food creations with a strong Asian influence. Very good selection on vegetarian and vegan dishes, the possibility to sit at tables outdoors on nice days and very friendly service. Would definitely come back.

Disastrous service. Just rude. No desire to eat there anymore.

Mixed experience: averagely friendly waitress who puts her fingers in my empty plate, request to eat inside refused, starter good but way too small to share, main meal good but for the price the quantity of meat was miserable. So go your way, you will find better!

Very good veggies and quick service

Closed without reporting it on the internet! You won't have to wait until you get back from vacation to enjoy it! Nicholas The photo was yours to post...

Tastes good, but the price isn't right. 40 CHF for a rather small portion (meatless main course) and a glass of water is excessive.

Staff was friendly but a bit awkward. What didn't work at all was the topic of bread. The starter (a kind of hummus made from eggplant) was only served with a small piece of bread. So far so good; But if you wanted some extra bread, you had to pay an extra franc for each piece, which was about the size of a credit card. What was even better was that we had to wait a full 15 minutes for the two extra pieces of bread we had ordered, during which we had the half-started starter in front of us. The concept of the kitchen is interesting, although not yet fully developed. Price-performance is acceptable but the best point probably has to be the location of the restaurant in the middle of Bern's old town.

The restaurant offers small bowls to share - served with spelled sourdough bread. Each bowl comes with a tiny piece of bread (as in sharing). If you want another tiny piece of bread, you pay an extra CHF 1 per piece.

We were lucky to get a table for four people on a Saturday. The staff served us friendly. The starters were very tasty. But what bothered us was that we only got one loaf of bread and had to pay €1 each for another piece. We found that a bit special. The quality of the bread was very good, but the size was too small. The main courses were also good, but a little too seasoned for our taste. Overall it was good with a few points of improvement.

Very fresh, beautifully presented, delicious food and friendly service.

Very cozy, great service and delicious food. In summer also with alley seating...👍🏻

everything was wonderfully fitting, a lovely culinary experience

Friendly restaurant in Bern's old town with fine, carefully seasoned cuisine.

We had the most amazing lunch here a few rainy Saturdays ago. The food was delicious, and creative, and we didn't want it end. I think the phrase "I could eat like this everyday" was used. The atmosphere is calm, yet chic. The service was an impeccable combination of attentive without being overbearing. The portions are generous and fairly priced for the region. I will definitely return, and I highly recommend.

The kitchen is already closed at 8 p.m. 👎😯

Very tasty food, everything beautifully prepared, service is quick and friendly.

Mixed experience. The setting and atmosphere are nice, the service people are friendly. On the other hand, I found the prices really overrated, the price/performance ratio does not matter; too bad, I won't go back.

Food, Service and Ambiance are very good. However it‘s overpriced!

Food Starter: good, fresh, small portion for two (a mini bowl) Main course: it's a good thing that the menu is small, it's quicker to choose a dish and it gives the impression that the chef has carefully selected his ingredients and thought out his menu. On the other hand, we wouldn't go back more than twice or not straight away because we quickly got around to the dishes. The tastes were harmonious, we really liked the dish (especially the roasted nuts - chives everywhere, too much.) Dessert: interesting, good, but not extraordinary Still water in a pot, 8.- for two. Place Pretty street, a little sunny, lively. Only one toilet, dimly lit, noisy ventilation; soap and nice towels. Minimal decor. Steps to arrive and to the toilets. No set. It feels weird to put your services on the table. Rough cloth napkin; would be better after an ironing. Atmosphere Table reserved for two hours. It's a bit short if you're in a group or if you want to have another coffee. They want to accommodate as many people as possible per evening. Table reserved between 6 and 8 p.m., entry taken outside (April), our table inside was taken after a quarter of an hour. We were therefore placed at the very back, on the right. Minimal brightness: we couldn't see what we had on the plate. Indirect lights on the wall and elements that dampen sound would be welcome. View of the machines/dishes. Very noisy on Saturday evening.

Fine food, attentive and courteous service

Had dinner at Bonbec and it was wonderful! Great service, great food, great atmosphere, fair prices. We will be very happy to come again.

Perfect evening. Nice service, delicious food, full house

Beautiful little restaurant, top service. A culinary delight. This is definitely a restaurant to try.

Warm staff. Superb dishes and at a reasonable price. A safe address.

Very good dishes with excellent combinations of tastes and aromas. "Veggie Love" excellent first course with pumpkin and surprising pickled pear segments.

Very tasty and really good spices. Service was very attentive and polite. It got quite loud because it was very crowded. Gladly again.

One of the best addresses in Bern! The menu is super balanced. My partner and I eat vegan and we absolutely didn't feel like we were missing out and the food was simply amazing! Bravo Team Bonbec!

Absolutely delicious, while being healthy, local, organic and with lots of vegetarian and vegan choices. An absolute must!

Beautiful food, so tasty! Great service & ambiance. Excellent veggie options too. Would highly recommend!

The place claims to be dietary restrictions friendly, but only to a certain point. If you ask for specific allergens/ingredients to be left out that aren't the standard (anything else than just gluten/lactose) it's not possible. I was given a recommendation for what to have and had a very upset stomach afterwards. The food itself tasted nice, but what's the point if it's a disaster afterwards. Not coming back, but maybe for somebody else it's ok. The place looks nice and new, staff is friendly but the lights are rather dim in the evening. I could barely see what's on my plate.

Had dinner with a larger group on short notice. Smallish, but diverse menu with great vegetarian and vegan options. Everything we had from starters to dessert was of high quality and tasted very good. Friendly and professional service. Will return and do recommend.

The service was great, the place had a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious, but unfortunately the chicken curry gave me a terrible stomach upset. It seems something wasn’t cooked properly or there was another food hygiene problem. I won’t be eating there again.

Fabulous flavor wonderful texture originality and perfect server

Restaurant located in the pedestrian streets. A cheerful, serious team who listens. Small disappointment in not having been entitled to the full menu, but only to a reduced menu (2 dishes). But there was a good reason and the dishes were delicious. So all is forgiven 😅. Very good cuisine to try.

Small restaurant in a neighborhood or terraces and restaurants, really very nice, small menu but good products and the effort to speak French, good address, a little expensive all the same

Very fresh food with top products

restaurant shut down , no longer open

VEGE and BIO compatible. Creative cuisine. Easy to get to, even for large groups. We used it for a women's party and the presentation and tableware are lovely. Terrace is good in summer. I liked the café set with brownie and honey cream.

Honestly wasn't good for any person who is a minimum into good cuisine and has a sense of taste. It felt like the salad was one of those cheap pre-made Prix Garantie ones you can buy at Coop. The sauce was even worse: sour but bland. I could only try and describe it as "ugly and vulgar". Even the side bread was dry. Had potential but honestly I'll have to give my worst star rating. Something needs to change here.

Superb vegan food. Best I had in a long time. Great atmosphere

Bonbec not new to Berne, relocated in the neighborhood just up at Rathausgasse - as PopUp. Much large, same great quality food. Small but great selection - keep on rocking guys, cheers! Merry Christmas

Hard to find a food menu like this in Bern, super tasty, fair prices. And an absolutely interesting wine menu as well. Curious about their new location in November, definitely will be back.

Delicious, suitable for all intolerances, generous portions and original dishes. A bit expensive for students.

Absolutely delicious, one of my favorite places in Bern! The dishes are creative (fusion) and all the ingredients are very fresh and of good quality. They have vegetarian and vegan dishes too. Their desserts are also delicious!!! I recommend 100%!

Very good. And the waitresses were very helpful and attentive, despite the large number of customers. Thank you so much.

Fresh, creative and simply enriching! Healthy and varied cuisine. Great service and wonderful style.

The food, service and location are simply TOP👍🏼 Not cheap, but quality has its price and you're more than happy to pay it here😊

Very friendly staff. Short selection of dishes, but it tastes very good. Large selection of teas, some of which are even homemade

The dishes were really delicious and made from quality products. Prices were high but still acceptable.

Very friendly staff, fine cuisine including vegan dishes, pleasant atmosphere👍

Das Essen ist sehr gut und es gibt etwas für alle. Die Karte ist relativ klein, aber die Gerichte werden alle frisch zubereitet. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienung. Die Einrichtung ist ein bisschen lieblos und die Preise am oberen Ende. Kommen gerne wieder

(Traducido por Google) Comida increíble. Un poco caro pero realmente bueno (Original) Amazing food. A little expensive but really good

(Traducido por Google) Pequeña selección de menú, pero los platos son un poco inusuales e increíblemente sabrosos. Fantástica variedad de cócteles, etc. Todo incluido un servicio maravilloso. (Original) Kleine Menuauswahl, dafür sind die Gerichte etwas ausgefallen und unglaublich lecker. Fantastisches Angebot an Cocktails etc.. Das Ganze inkl. wunderbarem Service.

(Traducido por Google) La comida era buena, el servicio amable ... (Original) Essen war gut, die Bedienung freundliche...

Kleine Karte, das spricht dafür, dass alles frisch ist. Tische draussen unter den Lauben. Sehr bernisch. Excellente Weinauswahl, wenig offene Weine, so hat man sicher keinen gestern geöffneten Wein im Glas. Auch hier ist weniger mehr. Immer noch mehrheitlich Frauen als Gäste. Aber es gibt auch Fleisch imfall :). Und günstig ist es für einen Zürcher sowieso.

(Traducido por Google) pequeña terraza exterior; atractivo menú; deliciosa preparación y presentación; compañeros de trabajo agradables (Original) kleine aussenterrasse; ansprechende speisekarte; leckere zubereitung und präsentation; nette mitarbeiter

(Traducido por Google) Muy bonito y pequeño restaurante en el casco antiguo de Berna. Pequeño menú pero que no deja de emocionar sus papilas gustativas por un precio que oscila entre 31 y 34.- el plato. (Original) Petit resto très sympa dans la vieille ville de Berne. Petite carte mais qui ne manque pas de faire frétiller vos papilles pour un prix allant de 31.- à 34.- le plat.

Haben uns hierher verirrt und hatten wirklich Glück mit dem Tisch. (2m Abstand). Kleines Restaurant mit nettem Ambiente. Die Speisekarte ist nicht gross, aber das Essen war fantastisch. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und Aufmerksam.

(Traducido por Google) Deliciosa comida, servicio perfecto. Mi restaurante favorito. Nunca me ha decepcionado. (Original) Essen köstlich, Bedienung perfekt. Mein Lieblingsrestaurant. Wurde noch nie enttäuscht.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente y super amable personal (Original) Excellent et personnel super syma

(Traducido por Google) ¡Sabroso! Me encantan las opciones veganas 🌱😋 (Original) Yummy! I love the vegan options 🌱😋

Das Essen ist lecker, gesund, saisonal und wunderschön präsentiert. Die einzigen Nachteile: Das Essen war nicht sehr heiß und die Portionen waren relativ klein, so dass meine 20-jährige Tochter Hunger hatte.

(Traducido por Google) Una isla culinaria en el casco antiguo de Berna, al mejor nivel. A pesar de la pequeña cocina, se sirven varios manjares en el plato. Los vinos en oferta se describen y seleccionan adecuadamente. Solo puedo confirmar lo que el nombre de este restaurante describe acertadamente: un BonBec cálido, un buen pico. Pero solo para las personas que aprecian lo bueno y que personalmente lo transmiten al personal. Ve y pruébalo. (Original) Eine kulinarische Insel in der Altstadt in Bern, auf bestem Niveau. Trotz der kleinen Küche werden hier verschiedene Gaumenfreuden auf den Teller serviert. Die Weine im Angebot sind treffend beschrieben passend ausgewählt. Ich kann nur bestätigen was der Name dieser Gaststätte schon treffend brschreibt - ein warer BonBec, guter Schnabel. Aber nur für Leute die das Gute zu schätzen wissen und das dem Personal auch persönlich weitergeben. Geh vorbei und probier's aus.

(Traducido por Google) Muy buen restaurante con un ambiente acogedor. Asegúrese de reservar por la noche, ya que es más bien un pequeño restaurante. Personal agradable y cortés. La cena fue muy sabrosa y la recomendación del vino fue bien con el plato. El café también es genial. (Original) Sehr hübsches Restaurant mit gemütlichem Ambiente. Abends unbedingt reservieren, da eher kleines Lokal. Nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Abendessen war sehr lecker und die Weinempfehlung passte hervorragend zum Gericht. Der Kaffee ist auch spitze.

(Traducido por Google) Muy acogedor, excelente café, super Spritz. Un hermoso lugar en verano para un Apero festivo y un lugar acogedor en invierno para un buen capuchino. (Original) Very cosy, great coffee, super Spritz. A beautiful place in Summer for a festive Apero and a cosy place in Winter for a nice Cappuccino.

Das Bonbec liegt etwas abseits von den üblichen Restaurants im Zentrum von Bern, ist aber von der Zytglogge in ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuss gut erreichbar. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet (eher kleine Auswahl - aber für alle etwas - egal ob Vegi oder Fleisch) und die Bedienung sehr freundlich (der Umgang ist angenehm familiär). Der einzige kleine Nachteil ist die relativ enge Bestuhlung im Restaurant und dass die Musik zumindest zu Beginn etwas zu laut für meinen Geschmack war.

(Traducido por Google) Muy bien, el único problema es que no dudan en despedirnos al final de la comida. (Original) Très bon, le seul problème c'est qu'ils n'hésitent pas à nous virer à la fin du repas

Questo intimo ristorantino in uno degli angoli più vecchi e calorosi di Berna offre una Buona cucina in cui si fondono ricette e tecniche di cottura del mondo intero ben eseguite . Svariate soluzioni anche per vegetariani e vegani . Il tutto condito di gentilezza con un servizio informale ma puntuale . Esperienza piacevole e soddisfacente , originale rispetto al panorama gastronomico della capitale elvetica .

Das Lokal ist äusserst sympathisch und familiär, auch die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich. Das Essen hat mich jedoch nicht vom Hocker gehauen. Es ist ohne Zweifel sehr gut gekocht, jedoch fehlte mir irgendwie die Geschmacksvielfalt und vielleicht auch generell die Vielfalt auf der Karte. Die Portionen sind für einen Hauptgang eher klein und definitiv an der oberen Preisgrenze.

(Traducido por Google) Gran lugar, acogedor y buen ambiente. (Original) Great place, cosy and good atmosphere.

Das Bonbec ist eines meiner liebsten Restaurant in der Stadt Bern. Versteckt in der Nebengasse eine kleine Perle. Wunderbares Essen, eine Karte auf der fast jeder etwas findet das ihm schmeckt, für Vegi, Vegan und auch Fleischesser, ausgefallene Desserts, tolle Gin Auswahl. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, herzlich, hilfsbereit und trägt viel zu dem tollen Ambiente im Restaurant bei. Klein aber fein, reservieren ist ein Muss. Ich freue mich bald wieder zu kommen :-)

(Traducido por Google) Pequeño y elegante restaurante con opciones veganas muy sabrosas: absolutamente recomendable (Original) Kleines, feines Restaurant mit sehr leckeren veganen Optionen - absolut empfehlenswert

(Traducido por Google) Muy buena comida, servicio muy amable, justo en el precio (Original) Sehr feines Essen, sehr freundliche Bedienung, fair im Preis

(Traducido por Google) Comida deliciosa y aterradora. Excepcionales sabores, consistencias y combinaciones de ingredientes, ¡pero realmente muy buenos! Además un servicio amable y atento. Es difícil creer lo que sale de esta pequeña cocina, y una buena preparación parece funcionar. Llegamos sin reserva igual a la apertura de la noche y conseguimos una bonita mesa en la ventana. Cuando vuelva a Berna, definitivamente volveré a Bonbec. Claro, para los no suizos ya alabados, pero vale la pena cada centavo! (Original) Unheimlich leckeres Essen. Außergewöhnliche Aromen, Konsistenzen und Zutatenkombinationen, aber richtig, richtig gut! Dazu eine freundliche, aufmerksame Bedienung. Kaum zu glauben, was aus dieser winzigen Küche geleistet wird, eine gute Vorbereitung scheint sich zu bewähren. Wir kamen ohne Reservierung gleich zur Öffnung am Abend und haben einen schönen Tisch am Fenster bekommen. Wenn ich wieder in Bern bin, werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder zu Bonbec essen gehen. Klar, für Nicht-Schweizer schon heftig bepreist, aber jeden Rappen wert!

(Traducido por Google) estaba cerrado (Original) it was closed

(Traducido por Google) Deliciosos platos veganos y vegetarianos. Para tales menús, uno de los mejores restaurantes de Berna. Gran lugar, buen servicio. Con mucho gusto de nuevo y muy recomendable! (Original) Köstliche vegane und vegetarische Gerichte. Für solche Menüs eines der besten Lokale in Bern. Toller Ort, nette Bedienung. Gerne wieder und sehr zu empfehlen!

(Traducido por Google) Ensalada y curry eran geniales. Servicio excelente y buena ubicación. El cálido brownie no estaba tibio, pero aún estaba bueno. (Original) Salat und Curry waren grossartig. Bedienung super und schöne Lokalität. Das warme Brownie war nicht warm aber trotzdem gut.

(Traducido por Google) Una maravillosa experiencia oriental que incluye el servicio. Si está buscando lo bueno y lo bueno en Bonbec, el chef tibetano sabe cómo manejar las especias hábilmente y el servicio sabe cómo vivir una hospitalidad discreta. El Bonbec es un consejo para mí, que me gustaría recomendar. (Original) Eine herrlich orientalische Erfahrung inkl. der Bedienung. Wer das Feine und Gute sucht ist im Bonbec genau richtig, der tibetische Koch weiss geschickt mit Gewürzen umzugehen und die Bedienung weiss wie man unaufdringliche Gastfreundschaft lebt. Das Bonbec ist für mich ein Geheimtipp, den ich gerne weiterempfehle.
