Kornhaus & Kornhauskeller
Kornhaus
An 18th-century Baroque granary whose vaulted underground wine cellar has become one of Bern's most splendid restaurants, serving classic Bernese dishes.
Built between 1711 and 1718 as the city's grain store and wine cellar, the Kornhaus has a vaulted underground cellar decorated with murals, now a restaurant and bar. Signature dishes include the Berner Platte (an assortment of sausages and smoked meats served with sauerkraut and potatoes) and Zurich-style veal. Upstairs are a cultural centre and library. It stands on Kornhausplatz, right beside the Kindlifresser Fountain. Dinner reservations are recommended.
