Restaurant Terrasse Schwellenmätteli

We just for coffees and enjoyed the vibes. Not crowded at all but enough people to feel the good atmosphere. Loud because of the river but it allows for conversation. Recommended!

Had an amazing in this scenic restaurant on the river! The outside terrace is just beautiful and refreshing to watch river flowing whilst having a nice meal. Food was amazing and i could tell that it was made from fresh ingredients. Thank you for making my day 🩵

The burger was just not worth the price. CHF 33 for a dry bun, pickled vegetables and a little bit of sauce on the meat. Fries tasted with an old oil. You'd get a better burger and fries in McDonald's even though McDonald's should not be set as a standard here.

I visited Restaurant Terrasse Schwellenmätteli for coffee, and the experience was truly memorable, largely due to its stunning location right above the Aare River. The terrace offers breathtaking views of Bern’s Old Town, with the Parliament Building and Minster in sight—perfect for a special evening out. The ambiance is unique, with the modern pavilion design and the sound of rushing water creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. It felt like dining on an island! Service was generally attentive and friendly—our server was kind and accommodating with dietary requests. Overall, Schwellenmätteli’s terrace is a must-visit for anyone in Bern looking for great food paired with an unforgettable view. Just book ahead, especially for the terrace, and come ready to soak in the scenery.

The location and atmosphere is amazing. The food is hit or miss. Very much overpriced for rather small portions. Moules Frites were great. Cordon bleu was good too. Lamb was very fatty and not up to the expected quality standards for the high price of it (and it is not even swiss lamb). The rice that came with it was bland and boring and way too much of it. I kind of don't know what they tried to do there. A risotto would have been much better. But this was bland rice with some tomato paste. Waiters were all very busy and basically did not pay us any attention unless we waved at them.

the main attraction is the location over the river! spectacular view around the water easy to access a very specific point from the city there is food and drinks worth visit finishing a tour by the river

The food is simply ordinary. As good (or as bad) as what you get from the frozen section of Aldi. However, the price is as if it were from a real chef. The service is ok, it is hard to feel welcome in this restaurant. Paid €48.70 for the almost empty plate you see in the photo. The atmosphere, if you ignore the service, is nice thanks to the river, that is absolutely beautiful.

The views and vibes here worth the visit, but maybe just for a drink. The food was very mid for your price you pay.. you’re definitely paying for the views.
