Bern, just like in all other aspects, is gastronomically rich too. Whether the authentic traveller wants to sample traditional Swiss food or other European cuisines, or even Asian or American cuisine, Bern has options for all palates. The Schwellenmatelli (Riviera Restaurant) on the banks of the river Aare has an oasis like feel and is becoming one of the most popular haunts for tourists looking to enjoy good food while taking in the sights of the city.
