City Bistro in Bellinzona

Fantastic coffee shop, fantastic foods, and fantastic brunches

And at the Top Compliments to the staff

Bought a bottle of orange juice as well as a cap and croissants, with the ban on consuming the juice at the table.

Café right in the main station building. Actually a nice building, but too uncomfortable for a café. The room is very high, the acoustics are bad, it is loud. There is a lack of comfort. The cappuccino is good, the staff OK, the service could be more attentive.

Great for a coffee, an aperitif or a simple meal. Very friendly staff.

Terrible service, we ordered drinks twice and nothing was brought to us! All the tables around us had something or it was brought to them immediately afterwards and twice we had nothing! Absurd

Service extremely unfriendly and demotivated, pasta was cooked the morning or day before and reheated, very rubbery with a sauce that I am convinced was bought ready-made. Simply disgusting.

After a long plane and train journey, I finally arrived in Bellinzona and bought a coffee and a water bottle to take away from the local City Bistro. Since I wanted to rest, I sat down briefly at the table in the local City Bistro. Suddenly the employee of this restaurant shouted at me and, pointing in the direction of the door with her hand gesture, just said get out, take it away. I have to honestly admit that I am simply shocked by the employee's behavior like this and would like to get an explanation for this from the owner of this restaurant.

Level of service here is beyond terrible.

The Bistro is ok. If you go down to the toilet it is impossible not to notice the mediocrity of the structure. Shabby! Gentlemen, a painter for stairs and corridors is urgently needed! A great shame, showing the public and tourist visitors such a degraded situation. Right at the busiest time...

Nice place, great service but I think one waitress is not enough to do everything. Too much waiting

Two waiters on duty on Saturday morning, dirty tables and long wait. An important FFS station such as Bellinzona should be able to guarantee a better service.

Everything is good but a little expensive

Thank you, it's nice to be with you every now and then, greetings, Anny

The staff is welcoming and pleasant Don't forget to buy souvenirs items from them I highly recommend

Unfortunately very unfriendly service. The pasta we ordered was very bland and the two pizzas weren't good either. All the fun ended up costing way too much. No recommendation.

Slow service even with few people, listless and rude staff

In the morning there are only two collaborators to welcome customers. Too few for the people who circulate there. Long waiting times.

Beer, sports newspaper, wifi, bathroom. Will be back.

Young, friendly team that serves good quality, fine food. We will be back.

Buying drinks and food is allowed, but not eating in the bistro? I bought a croissant and a cold coffee from the refrigerated section and sat down in the bistro to eat and drink. I was then informed by the staff that consumption was not permitted in the bistro. Then what purpose are the tables and chairs there for?

My first stop when I'm in Bellinzona. 🦊

What I appreciate in this bistro are the charcoal kipfels, too bad they are few and so I don't always find them

Disappointing service. Dirty tables We waited more than 5 minutes to order even though the place was empty. The waitress doesn't even look at your face while taking the order. I'd rather have a picnic next time.

Super nice service and moderate prices! Update: probably has a new operator. Prosecco wasn't as good anymore

Very slow service, even when there are no customers inside the room, 5-10 minutes pass before being served. Let alone when there are several customers. (Staff with little motivation in carrying out their work) It's not the first time I've passed by here, but I see that nothing ever changes!

I bought an apple (at the counter) and a water from the fridge. I was told that I’m not allowed to drink the water in she shop as I didn’t order it from the bar (see the photo: the fridge is in the same shop, same cash register). I’m allowed to eat the apple though but they told me to drink the water outside… What a joke! I bought both in the same shop. At least they should inform at the cash register. A real rip off.

Excellent coffee in Bellinzona during the stop between the train and the bus

We can only confirm what many others have written. Staff who always seem very busy, very slow service and interminable waits to get a coffee. In a station, where you often have little time... we're not there!

Convenient and quick for a break before taking the train

It was once well frequented, now very expensive and to be avoided..

Here you will find the Smart2coin card. One of the first bearer wallets, without technological barriers. Suitable for anyone who is familiar with payment cards.

Convenient place for those who want a meal who have time or are in a hurry or given that it is at the station, there is also a drink while waiting or before departure. Friendly and helpful staff 😊. Well stocked with newspapers. Nice idea at a specific price; wine tasting 😉. The corner with takeaway goods + souvenir div is also convenient. Well, carry on like this 👌👌

Very unprofessional lady working there. Left the doors open after closing time and screamed at us. Money better spent in the Coop supermarket than there.

I don't know what has changed. Once upon a time I often passed there if I had to wait for the train because they were very fast. Now the service is slow (noticed both in the morning and in the evening) which is a shame because the staff always seems busy to me.

Always wonderfully beautiful there, and when Bello Silvan is there like that... Dear Greetings Ralph 🙋‍♂️ 🥰 😘

Today was a beautiful day. We stopped for a drink. I think the staff was on strike, my husband had to clean and clear the table of the previous customers. Incredible they don't give a damn about customers..... we're not there. A place like that could be a gold mine. Next time I cross the street

Kind and friendly staff, a Post Bus driver 👍

Good food and reasonable prices!

friendly and tried to speak German too, it was great, granny

Excellent service and many souvenirs to take away

former FFS buffet professionally managed by the City bar team, friendly and efficient staff, food always at the good standards of the chain

Bar in the Bellinzona station in Switzerland, nice, clean and welcoming place, friendly staff, excellent hot ready meals, wide choice of sandwiches or cold dishes.

In the Castione branch slow service, despite this very kind and polite.

Suitable for a quick snack as it's right in the train station, fast service👍

Super friendly and inexpensive food. Nice and courteous employees. It's a pleasure

Simple and cheap. Friendly service

A very pleasant opportunity to stay at the train station to wait for the train or just to enjoy the very good café, the fine pastries or the delicious snacks. Very friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Opportunity to buy regional products

Nice place and friendly staff, you can enjoy a great breakfast before leaving by train. You can also find outdoor tables.

Nice place with very good sandwiches and quick service.

EXCELLENT staff, polite, friendly and professional.... Very clean, sunny and cheerful environment. I stop often especially for the staff who immediately put you at ease...

A place not only of passage but also of meeting place. Fast, quality service, fair prices.

It is a new bar where it is just open.There are some service.

(Traducido por Google) Personal siempre muy amable. ¡¡¡Sin embargo!!! Una camarera de 60 plazas parece fuera de lugar Excesivo tiempo de espera para el servicio, si tienes prisa por coger el tren mejor ir frente a "Al Porto" donde el servicio es super y muy rápido. (Original) Personale sempre molto gentile. Però!!! Una sola cameriera per 60 posti pare fuori luogo.Tempo di attesa del servizio eccessivo, se hai fretta a prendere il treno meglio andare di fronte "Al Porto" dove il servizio e super e molto veloce.

(Traducido por Google) Este es el ÚNICO bar que sirve una amplia selección de cruasanes ordenados, abierto desde las 5 am - en el centro de Bellinzona.

(Original) Questo è l'UNICO bar che serve vasta scelta di brioches in ordine, aperto dalle 5 di mattina - a Bellinzona centro. Con il caffè viene spesso servito il mitico bicchierino d'acqua di rubinetto, segno di civiltà ormai dimenticato qua attorno.. Super consigliato!!

La peggior pizza che abbia mai mangiato in vita mia. Gommosa, mozzarella ( ammesso che lo sia) che sembrava plastica. Meglio le pizze surgelate dell’ Aldi.

(Traducido por Google) Lindo lugar el personal es atento a la segunda ronda Puedo entender que no todos los días son los mismos en el interior hay demasiado flujo de aire cuando se abren las puertas (cuatro uno en cada lado) y en el horario de invierno y los tiempos no molestos buffet de la estación hasta por lo menos 24, pero ya que es la tienda entiendo que la ley requiere más tiempo debe ser buena selección abierta de sándwiches y pasteles pecado toda precocida. Falta un equipo meneger (Original) Posto carino il personale è cortese a secondo del turno posso capire che non tutti i giorni siano uguali all'interno vi è troppa corrente d'aria quando si aprono le porte (quattro una per ogni lato)e nel periodo invernale e fastidioso orari non da buffet della stazione almeno fino alle 24 ma visto che fa da negozio capisco che la legge imponga altro orario dovrebbe essere aperto buona scelta di panini e pasticceria peccato tutto precotto. Manca un team meneger
