Raclette restaurants in Bern: the federal capital has cheese under the arcades

Bern may be the federal capital, but it never got a big head. It got cheese. Under the arcades, between a fountain and a bear, you find guildhalls turned restaurants, cheese shops and winter chalets on the banks of the Aare. One detail that makes us smile: the Swiss association of PDO and PGI products, guardian of Raclette du Valais PDO, has its headquarters in Bern. The cheese is watched closely.

In German-speaking Switzerland, fondue reigns and raclette sometimes plays hard to get. Several places only serve melted cheese in season, from October to February. Others offer raclette all year round, all you can eat, as long as you are at least four or don’t share your plate. On menus in German, “Raclette à discrétion” means exactly what you hope it means. To brush up on the basics, read what is raclette? And keep a digestive walk in reserve: the Old Town is on a slope.

1. Zunft zu Webern: all-you-can-eat raclette in a guildhall

Bern’s weavers’ guild is mentioned as early as 1373 and moved to 68 Gerechtigkeitsgasse in 1911, according to the history printed on its menu. What we remember most is the “From the cheese dairy” section: an all-you-can-eat “Classic – Vulcano” raclette, served with potatoes and pickled vegetables, plus a version with bacon, onions and mushrooms. The menu specifies that it cannot be shared, which ends the great classic of the friend who “just tastes a little bit” from your plate. Five cheese fondues round out the offer. The ideal address for a first evening in Bern, with a group.

2. Restaurant Lötschberg: Valais in the heart of Bern

The Lötschberg is named after the tunnel that links Bern to Valais, and the wink is no accident. The house serves Raclette du Valais PDO from Bagnes, with steamed potatoes, gherkins and little onions, from Wednesday to Sunday according to its website. It also offers it all-you-can-eat for tables of up to fifteen, enough to celebrate a birthday without sacrificing your living room. The rest follows the same line: PDO cheese fondues, more than 200 Swiss wines, PDO and PGI products to take away and the Fait Maison label. What we remember: an appellation raclette without taking the train to Sion.

3. ChäsChäuer im Chäsbueb: five raclette cheeses at the cheesemonger’s

The ChäsChäuer is the little restaurant of the Chäsbueb cheese shop, on the Kramgasse, and you can even build your plate at the cheese counter. Its all-you-can-eat “Candle Light” tabletop raclette lines up five raclette cheeses, with potatoes in their skins (the Bernese “Gschwellti”) and the classic garnishes, according to the menu on the website. It is ordered from four people: an excellent excuse to recruit friends. Three fondues complete the menu, including one with gin from a Bernese distillery. Special evenings let you taste up to twenty different raclettes, a marathon reserved for the club’s best-trained.

4. Restaurant Röschtigrabe: raclette facing the Federal Palace

The name makes all of Switzerland smile: the “Röstigraben” is the imaginary border between the French-speaking and German-speaking Swiss. On the Bärenplatz, a stone’s throw from the Federal Palace, this restaurant opens a winter garden every winter where raclette and fondue are served, with blankets and cherry-pit heating pads on your knees, according to its website. The 2026-2027 season runs from October 16 to mid-February, every day from 11:30 am. The website recommends warm clothes: you’re almost outdoors, and that’s the whole charm. What we remember: the most political raclette in Switzerland, with a view of the sky above Parliament.

5. Restaurant Harmonie: the legendary fondue and a raclette on the menu

The Harmonie, on the Hotelgasse, presents itself as one of the oldest restaurants in Bern and highlights its “legendary” fondue. The menu offers two, a classic (Fontal, Emmentaler, Gruyère) and a half-and-half (Vacherin, Gruyère), with potatoes, onion salad, gherkins and fruit. Raclette fans go for the “Swiss Menu”: salad, mini fondue, marrow bone with herbs, then raclette with its little sausages. A summary of Switzerland in four acts. The menu also says that the Mozart family sheltered their carriages within these walls in 1766. Nothing proves he dipped his bread in the caquelon.

6. Schwellenmätteli Fondü-Hütte: the winter chalet on the banks of the Aare

Every winter, the Schwellenmätteli restaurants set up a fondue hut on their terrace by the Aare, with long wooden tables and a chalet atmosphere. No raclette here, we tell you frankly, but the fondue menu is worth the detour: house, “Bärefondü” with sausage and bacon, with herbs, with morels, with champagne and truffle. The website announces 300 g of cheese per person, which sets the bar high. Fun detail: the hut’s furniture is for sale, in case you fall in love with your bench. What we remember: the river as background music.

7. Rosengarten Fondue-Veranda: the best view of the Old Town

The Rosengarten is a hilltop park a few steps from the Bear Park, and its restaurant claims the best view of the Old Town. Every cold season, its veranda becomes a fondue room. The house works with a blend of Schönrieder Bergkäse and “petit Fribourg”, served with Alpine herbs, with chili or with sparkling wine and truffle, with a full menu from salad to dessert. Again, no raclette: we warn you so nobody turns up with a scraper under their arm. What we remember: the address for visiting parents you want to impress a little.
