You can make table reservations conveniently on our website. We are happy to take reservations for groups by telephone on +41 31 328 02 00 or by e-mail at info@casinobern.ch. We serve a pre-defined menu to groups of 15 people or more. We will be happy to provide you with appropriate menu suggestions.

Dogs are very welcome at Casino Bern. However, only assistance dogs are allowed at concerts.

The area with the tables along the house, under the large sun blind, is the restaurant terrace. The summer barbecue is located under the chestnut trees.

The difference lies in the food on offer. Our summer grill offers seasonal, uncomplicated summer dishes from the grill. Our restaurant menu is peppered with French haute cuisine and Italian classics.

We have a lot of tables, but our seating capacity is limited. In addition, there are two different catering concepts and menu cards on the terrace. So that we can guarantee a seat for every reservation, we are dependent on your decision in advance. It is not possible to reserve a table in both concepts at the same time and then decide on the spot.

There is one table inside the restaurant for each reservation. Reservations for the summer barbecue can still choose from a reduced summer barbecue menu (as the barbecue is located outside).

The summer barbecue offers a variety of vegetarian dishes from starter to dessert.

There are certain dishes on the menu cards which can be adapted for vegans. Please contact the service staff for further information. We are constantly developing new vegan dishes.

We cannot guarantee a seat in the shade due to the natural movement of the sun. We have various arrangements to provide you with shade and we will certainly find a solution with you on site.

Reservations are only accepted for aperitifs for 8 or more people. It is possible to order food and drink in advance, but this is not mandatory.

Group reservations for up to 14 people can usually be accepted if there are enough free seats.

Groups of 15 people or more (up to a maximum of 20 people) will receive a menu selection from which you must inform us of your preferences in advance. In the event of last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours), all pre-ordered menus will be charged.
