Lorenzini - Bern

Very good food, although few vegan options, in a classy ambience. Had the millefeuille and lentils.

This traditional restaurant offers pretty interesting vegan options in the dall 'orto section. It is a little more on the formal side with distinguished interior. But certainly worth a try.

A fine Italian restaurant in the heart of Bern, near the Bellevue Palace hotel, and a good place for a cocktail or two in their cozy and convivial bar, followed by an equally pleasant meal. This was truffle season and Lorenzini 's specials that day were...all focused on this famous fungus. So I started off with their carpaccio with truffle deliciously thin, melt in your mouth marbled beef, drizzled with fragrant and earthy truffle oil and the coup de grace: fresh truffle shaved onto it table side by the waiter (don 't stop, don 't hold back, keep on shaving that 'shroom till it 's gone! . Of course, that wasn 't enough, so I followed this with a veal escallope in a rich smooth truffled cream sauce, again laden with fresh shaved truffle table side. The dish came with a side of a simple risotto which was a great way to sop up all that heavenly sauce. Service was excellent, attentive and unobtrusive and really just a fine place for a satisfying meal!

Lunch was a set course affair with Swiss colleagues and our UK visitors and was really superb. The service was fantastic, the food was excellent and the Tiramisu was to die for. The main restaurant looked very busy so this is clearly a popular restaurant...in the heart of the Altstadt. Perfect, highly recommended.
