In the restaurant, the young team combines different cooking techniques and cultures from all over the world on the flavourful plates. A major advantage of the concept is that the ingredients are sourced from local farmers. This ensures freshness and seasonality.
High above Biel, Repas combines bistro, restaurant and rooftop bar. Corentin Rérat serves French bistronomy: chicken liver parfait, kingfish and short ribs. From lunchtime, you can sit outside with a view of the lake basin, while sharing dishes and Negroni are served in the evening.
Simple, surprising and purist - a dedicated team offers modern terroir cuisine in the former "Kompass factory". The ecluse also sees itself as a zero-waste restaurant: regional products are a matter of course and everything is utilised.
Traditional Swiss dishes and Mediterranean specialities are served in the historical atmosphere of this historic institution. Vegetarians and vegans will also find a fine selection on the menu. Much of the food is homemade and handmade.
The Räblus is one of those addresses that you would be better off keeping to yourself - if everyone didn't already know about it. It's marvellous how you can order many of our local fish "meunière" or "baked" here. As befits the Seeland, the wine selection is also excellent.
Guests come here for juicy burgers and roast-aromatic grilled food, prepared in a modern way and primarily using Swiss products. The Culinary Artists' Chef's Table, where all guests sit together at a long table, deserves a special mention.
This beautifully situated restaurant on Lake Biel serves classic fish cuisine. The traditional family business - now run by the eighth generation - is also a great place to eat in summer thanks to its spacious outdoor area with terrace and garden.
The Palace in the centre of Biel has two gastronomic concepts: on the ground floor, guests are treated to classic bistro dishes with a regional touch in the "Brasserie", while contemporary, sophisticated dishes are served in the "Style" gallery.
A charming bistro in Belle Époque style, just a few steps from the lake. The slate menu changes regularly: Terrine Maison, black risotto or foie gras, plus homemade desserts such as tarte tatin. The service wears a bow tie and charm - casual and elegant.
In summer, guests can take a break away from the hustle and bustle of the city on the terrace by the river Schüss. Your stay will be even better thanks to the tartare variations or the Mediterranean main courses. For dessert, you will be surprised with a deconstructed lemon tart.
