Baeren - Utzenstorf

As a family we visited this restaurant in October for an afternoon coffee and cake we were just driving past . We enjoyed it so much that we promised ourselves that we would come back one evening for dinner, this we did in December just before Christmas. I just can 't praise this establishment too much. From the moment we walked through the door it was like visiting friends in their home for a meal, a lady took our coats and then took us through to a small dining room, about 20 covers , what a lovely quiet room , there were about another 10 guests in the room , really cosy and homely, we had a large round table for the 4 of us spotless table linen and cutlery. We ordered our apero 's whilst we studied the menu. Not a large menu but a good selection whilst we were deciding what to order we were presented with a nice canapé to keep us going whilst our 1st course arrived. Our waiter was 1st class he was very attentive throughout the meal, never an empty glass and our food served quickly and efficiently. My choice of main course was Trout with a choice of being pan fried, oven baked or grilled I chose the fried Trout which came with some lovely plain boiled potatoes , no fancy sauces just a small jug of the hot butter which the fish had been cooked in , delicious . And I must say a real treat to be given the correct cutlery for the food I was eating. Something which is lacking in so many good restaurants today . Yes , I know I am of the old school . Our waiter was at hand to remove the head and frame from the table after I had filleted the fish, no doubt he would have done that for me if I had asked . My dessert a Zwetschgen sorbet which was excellent , I think the waiters hand was a bit unsteady when he poured the Zwetschga wasser over the sorbet , very nice too . Our meal was helped down by a lovely bottle of Jeninser Blauburgunder , an excellent wine and finished off with coffee. Something I have not experienced in a long time was the appearance of the Chef to greet his guests just as we were leaving. All in all a wonderful relaxing evening. We came away feeling like guests, not customers. And excellent value at 400 chf for 4 persons.

Went for an afternoon drive out and found this place. Too late for lunch and too early for dinner, all we wanted was a drink and a little snack, and we were not disappointed. Three of us had Kaffee Fertig with Batzi(schnapps) , wow , I think the chef's hand slipped they were fantastic , just the job on a cold day. Sorry for my son in law who was driving he had to make do with a milk coffee. We couldn't make our mind up about what to eat so the lady suggested a house speciality , Apfel kuchen, freshly made to order and while we waited for that we also had Niede kuchen also made to order and they were both worth waiting for , I have never tasted such wonderful pastry. Sorry Mother they were better than yours. The bill said small but they were both large enough for 4 people. The place was quite busy with local people , some older guys playing cards , what a really friendly atmosphere , staff were really friendly and the place itself is immaculate typically Swiss , spotlessly clean with excellent service. This is on our list for our next visit to my daughter and her husband for a lunch or evening meal. Price , a very reasonable 62CHF for 4 people.

World-class saddle of venison, attentive service and a beautiful ambience! would love to come back.

Everything is just right here, great ambience, top-class food, fresh, seasonal, very tasty, great wines, friendly. We'll definitely come back.

A nice evening for two with very good food and wine? Yes, this works very well in the bear. Even if the inside is quite “rustic”. We would be happy to come back and let us be pampered with culinary delights.
