Our server Brenda was awesome. We were seated in the veranda with a view of the river and Bern. Our starter was baked goat cheese with a radicchio/cucumber/tomato/radish/arugula chutney in a light citrus dressing. For entrees we ordered basil gnocchi with mozzarella in a creamy lemon sauce then ricotta ravioli in a bright tomato sauce. Everything was delicious. We were too full for dessert, but their tiramisu looked yummy. It was a nice dining experience.

She said it was her favorite spot in all of Bern, and so we had to give it a try! I recommend getting a reservation, but we were early enough they were able to squeeze us in. The views from up top are STUNNING. A full picturesque view of the entire city. We were eating a late lunch so we shared the Mediterranean plate with pita bread, hummus, and some veggies & a garlic bread. Both were very high quality, fresh, and delicious! I can only imagine how good the entrees are. My only complaint is the service was slow for it not being very busy, but the staff was kind nonetheless. Rosengarten is a MUST for a meal as impressive as the views!

They were kind enough to find us a seating overlooking the Aare river. The Aare river which surrounds the old city of Bern, so the view is spectacular. We saw a heron sitting out on the water. Beautiful birds and nature to take it in while you eat and drink. You will find fish and Meditarrean dishes. We had Hugo and several dishes. The food were tasty with local flavors. They had some Asian influenced dishes. The waitress were friendly. We got some small tasting complimentary from the chefs. A favorite spot for lunch/ dinner. Also plenty of seating inside and outside. Great for groups as well. A must visit for a spectacular experience

We went with two versions of the traditional roesti; the Gruerien and the Valaisan, both of which were excellent. The Valasian, with tomatoes and raclette cheese was a bit more plain, but the tomatoes really helped cut the richness of the cheese and buttery potatoes. That said, I preferred the Gruerien since it comes with speck (bacon lardons) and onions, but without the tomatoes to cut it, the richness is strong. The restaurant itself isn't huge, so reservations or eating early are advisable. Service was friendly, but this seems to be a predominately French-speaking town, and only one of the servers spoke english. That said, we didn't have any trouble getting by in pidgin French and a bit of English, so don't let that scare you off. Overall probably the best Swiss food I've had in four different trips to Switzerland, and if you're in the area it is definitely worth visiting!

Almost every table was taken outdoors, but I managed to squeeze in. While there is indoor seating, its slightly dark and smelly inside (due to the cheese being cooked!), so do what the Europeans do and enjoy the outdoors! For food, I opted to try the Rosti florentine (rosti with spinach) and the small portion of the raclette. The raclette came out first and was so yummy. I mean, who doesn't like a plate of melted cheese with potatoes and pickles?! When a dish is mainly cheese, the quality of the cheese is paramount. I'm happy to report that the cheese Le Mazot uses is top-notch. Beware, even if you order the small portion of the raclette, it might as well be a meal within itself. Because by the time I got my rosti, I was stuffed! The rosti was pretty tasty and I was glad to have gotten it with spinach, as otherwise it's pretty dense with the shredded potatoes as a base. It was a nice dish to try, but if I only had to order one, I'd opt for the raclette. Service was good and the food was brought out at a nice pace. Le Mazot is a solid choice to get some Swiss staples without having to search too far.

RAT + BAD SERVICE - my first time leaving a comment because food was nothing special but the woman…read morewaiter had a really bad attitude. We came into the restaurant around 9 pm and we were asked to be seated in the very end corner. I asked if we can move to the middle section but she declined without giving a reason and instead gave us a discriminating look. During our order the waiter kept deciding for us saying that we won't be able to finish our food when we ordered what we thought was reasonable. Basically the whole atmosphere made us felt uncomfortable. By the end of our meal which is around 10pm they started to clean up the restaurant, taking the trash bags out while the restaurant claims to close around 11:30pm and we saw a rat running around while we were eating. This is really unprofessional and kills the mood. Not recommended.
