Tram Egge in Bern

A nice, laid back thai bistro with friendly staff. The food is simple but good. Only drawback are the prices, which are very high even for Switzerland standards.

My colleague and I's Dürüm was rolled really badly and fell apart right from the start. We could have done it even better. The flatbread was cold and wasn't “baked” but rather “raw”. In terms of taste, it wasn't seasoned well either and we had the feeling that all the ingredients were just thrown together. The salespeople called us (everyone else too) “Habibi” the whole time, which was unnecessary… Otherwise the ambience on site was okay. According to my colleague “Like at the bazaar”.

We went for a dinner, drinks and shisha with a couple of my colleagues. A place with the feel of a family restaurant. Super friendly service, good food and perhaps surpisingly (outside of arabic world) good shisha, too. I have my dietary restrictions (voluntary, not medical, just avoiding extra carbs) and the chef made me something out of the menu to accommodate. And have to say it was super tasty. A definite repeat should the time and travel allow for it.Would have given 4.5 rating if it would have been possible due to great friendly service.

I booked a table for 2 with 4 days in advance. When we arrived we found out that our table was a very small setup crammed with other people in a small room upstairs far away from the empty rooms in the rest of the restaurant. It was 18.30 hr so not many people about. There was no reserved sign on the table, whilst we were surrounded with lots of different other tables with the writing reserved and the guest name on it (mostly German sounding names). Our table did not have a reserved sign on and we were given a walk-in table instead. Another couple got sat on a bigger and better table and got served straight away, they also had a reserved sign on it. We were left waiting and got served afterwards. They were locals speaking German. We were crammed in one side of the restaurant with other people all coming from abroad. We were from Ticino with Italian and English heritage. We felt discriminated, treated differently. Very sad to see that there is so much difference in treatment between locals and tourists. I would be extremely curious to understand where their biggest return is from a business point of view?! Also, cutlery and glassware were dirty. Our chips burned. The waiters’ manners not up to scratch and considering the very steep prices, this should be a must. The Verdi Restaurant is a much better option for the same prices. Not impressed. Most likely a tourist trap.

The place is right in the center. Many people.
