Bestes Restaurant Erlebnis in Bern. Best Burger in town! Ob Easy Lunch, Sunday Brunch oder Casual Dining auf Sterne Niveau - hier wird leidenschaftlich und professionell gekocht und serviert. Konstant hohes Niveau mit sympathischem, coolen Team und urbanem Konzept. Tolles, entspanntes Ambiente. Jedesmal ein schönes, persönliches Erlebnis. Auch nach dem geschätzten 50sten Burger… 😎

Ein neuer heller Stern an meinem kulinarischen Firmament. Ich gratuliere Herrn Arnold und seinem Team zu dieser Glanzleistung. Der Abend im Restaurant Steinhalle hat Einzug gehalten in die Top Ten der besten Restaurants die ich je besucht habe (und da sind die 11 Madisons dieser Welt dabei). Danke.

One sentence review: Tasty, but (supposedly) elitist. Longer review of the prepaid Japanese tasting menu. We were greeted by a polite server and shown to a table outside where we had an appetiser and a drink (paid for separately). We weren't offered a napkin even though all appetisers were creamy or had liquids in them. Afterwards we proceeded inside for the main meal. The space inside is pretty tight, the decor minimal and the lighting is pretty dim, but it still doesn't feel particularly cosy (or chic). Now the food. The great thing about it is that there aren't any *dishes* on the menu. According to the chef (who greeted everyone in person) all the items are inspired by traditional Japanese tastes and ingredients and are invented by the chef himself, so you can't just find them in a Japanese cook book. Now the size of each portion is really really small. Half the elements of every dish are a (tea-) spoonful big. If you came to the restaurant... hungry, you'll likely only be less hungry after a five-course meal. Another deal-breaker for me is the price. This place is titanically overpriced. The amount we paid (meal = 159, sparkling wine = 21, red wine = 29) could buy you two (or almost two) similar dinners anywhere in the city. Yes, the restaurant was full, and there are enough people who don't care about prices in Bern, but a family with regular jobs would struggle to afford dining in a place like this and therefore they'd miss out on trying out a new experimental cuisine. Mind you that we spent three hours in Steinhalle and we only saw one person of colour in the whole establishment, and that was one of the waiters. That to me is a good indicator of how elitist a place might be. The service. There's no one designated waiter that'll serve you your food throughout the evening and that's probably a good thing -- less waiting. Every waiter knows how to present each dish, but the way they say it sounds like a recital. They just say their text and leave promptly. Every time they clear the table the servers ask how you've liked the previous dish, but it does come off slightly superficial, like they're programmed to ask certain things at certain times. That is the least of my concerns though, I'd much rather know why you didn't foresee a hot towel at a Japanese style dinner or quiet Japanese music in the background or, quite frankly, better value for money. Yeah, it's a business and it's legal, but how cool is it?
