We started bone marrow and goat cheese salad both superb followed by schnitzel (best I've ever had) along with equally delicious and beautifully cooked beef cheeks Wellington. For dessert we had the mille feuille and Kafé bombe - both sublime -- ending with a Swiss sauternes. For me this was the best dinner of our week in Switzerland. Service was attentive but not overbearing. We had breakfast here the following morning as we stayed at the hotel which was equally as good as dinner, though service not as smooth. Excellent coffees and good poached eggs. The only bummer were the other Americans having breakfast who don't understand that people don't speak as loudly here and whose booming voices/conversations could be heard by everyone in the restaurant.

We did sit out on the street watching the trains go by, drinking some local beers and it was pretty special, you can't beat the location, but one of those places that has pictures on the menu and could be anywhere.

We were having a lovely visit, staying at the Bristol Hotel in Bern... I was relaxing (as I…read moretypically did every evening) having a cocktail at the hotel bar... This time I was enjoying a Swiss beer. It was very light and flavorful... Did I mention that the Swiss do a lot of thAngs right?.. (watches, chocolate, elevators, wine...) Their beer is pretty d*mn good too. I asked the hotel bartender (who was tri-lingual) what a good place to have dinner was... She pointed us to Bay. Finished off the beer and walked to Bay. It's a really nice restaurant. Modern and tight. For the dining: We split the octopus app, and it was delish. For main course: I had the steak, and my GF had the char. We both enjoyed our meals thoroughly. The service was excellent, and very personable. Bern is such a nice town there are multiple, multiple hi-end places to eat... The Swiss standards are so high you can't go wrong.. But I am inclined to say that Bay is one of the nicest, cleanest, and tightest in Bern.

It is also fairly popular, as the restaurant was rather full at 9:00 on a Monday night. The seasonal menu was limited to three common main courses: beef bourgonge, veal cordon blue and coq au vin. There were two appetizer and main course specials too. Started with the cured salmon appetizer special. The fish was cured in beet juice. Interestingly, it had a different taste from the salmon we're used to having. It came with some greens and crunchy mustard seeds, and a crisp seedbread cracker. The special of pork done three ways was the highlight of the meal. One was slices of roast pork, the second was chunks of braised pork, and the third was a meatball. The dish came with pumpkin slices, and some potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The veal cordon bleu was a pan-fried piece of meat with ham and gooey cheese inside. It was OK, but boring. All it came with were two grape tomatoes and a ridiculously large pile of shoestring fries, which were fairly crips but also boring. Finished with a cheese plate that included five local swiss cheeses. The first, a chevre, and the last, a blue, were the best and most interesting. The waiter was very accommodating and the service overall rather efficient. Dinner for two with two glasses of wine and a bottle was CHF 207.
