Elegant, understated and cosy. This restaurant in the heart of the old town of Solothurn offers a wonderful dining experience al fresco. Situated in the midst of a medieval square, the setting elevated what was, by all accounts, a wonderful dinner. The food was fresh, tasty and prepared with great care, mixing traditional Swiss fare (try the Solothurner wine soup) with elegant accents and pitch perfect plating. The service was attentive, kind and warm. What an altogether memorable experience. Highly, highly recommended.

Fantastic food and very friendly services at all. The "Solothurner White Wine Soup" is the best in town. I will come back again! Thanks you so much for the time we've spent in your house.

Very welcoming and brilliant service from the start. They supplied us with menus in English and German which was appreciated. Food service was so well timed for each course and the waiting staff were very attentive ensuring our glasses were topped up and plates cleared at the right times and without interrupting our conversations at the table. The food was amazing, every dish was meticulously presented and tasted amazing. The whole meal was an amazing experience. I could rate the service, wine, food and atmosphere any better! 10/10!

The oldest restaurant in Solothurn has a cosy inside and is perhaps a bit smaller than expected and slightly newer than the nominal age (dating back to 1038) might suggest. The service was excellent, and the food consisted of truly new and interesting interpretations of classic dishes (or so one thinks) and beyond, delicious and inspiring at the same time. My octopus salad was interspersed with surprise tastes, such as a small roll of cucumber hidden in between; there were capers, BIG olives, celery, tomatoes, pomegranate, young salad leaves, onions, and a very original "grid" of deep fried herbs which also appeared on my fish main course,
