Zum Äusseren Stand

I enjoyed the dark contrasted decor. I I found it to be tastefully designed with comfortable seating. Quiet and calm dining experience especially if you have a big group and in need of some privacy, they have this special area at the back with high ceiling with glass that you can look at the sky. We had a set dinner so the components are fixed. I found the soup is yummy. It was thick, it was relatively hot and it goes well with the bread. The mains was salmon which came in a generous huge piece. I found the meat cooked well with delicious skin and flavourful gravy complementing the fish well. Even the bed of mash potatoes were good. However the dessert is just average ice cream which worked well as a palate cleanser. The cherry on top was that they serve chilled and delicious beer.

This location has a long and interesting history in Berne which makes it a desirable location for history buffs alone. The cuisine is perfectly paired with complimentary ingredients to allow for a perfect evening. The service is spectacular and accommodating.

Fine dining restaurant in old town Bern. Good place for a business lunch. They have a small, but fine menu of daily changing dishes. All dishes were delicious, but rather small portions (nouvelle cuisine style). This place caters more to the gourmet than the gourmand. Friendly and professional service. The restaurant is small, so reservations are recommended. Don't miss visting the elegant, covered courtyard in the back.

Best meal in Bern! The five-course meal was exceptional. The deer was extraordinary, and the fish dishes were excellent. Highly recommend!

The food is consistently excellent, and the waitstaff are exceptionally friendly. The spacious layout and inviting interior add to the overall experience. This place is truly underrated and feels like a hidden gem in Bern. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!

The place is very formal and the service aptly complements the atmosphere. I came wearing a flannel shirt and felt out of place. I had a complimentary pumpkin soup which was delectable followed by the main course Rehpfeffer. The dish was uniquely flavourful and I washed it down with their recommendation of smooth and sweet Swiss Pinot Noir. Overall it was a good lunch experience. They could work on the interior which I felt rather bland for a fine dining restaurant.

We took part at the special event Bier vs. Wein. To each course they served a bier and a wine. after ech cirse you could vote what fits better. Great experience. The food was classic and good but nothing exceptional. The Restaurant has a beautiful color concept but it looks a bit sterile. Would reccomend for a business lunch.

I've had the pleasure to dine at the Äusseren Stand for a good 12 years now, and I have yet to be disappointed by any aspect of it. The food is superb, the service is always lovely and very down to earth, and even the prices are - for Swiss standards - very fair. I can especially recommend the new years eve dinner, it's a treat for body and soul.
