The story
The name Haberbüni gives away its roots: this restaurant occupies a former hay barn attached to a late-19th-century farmhouse. Set in Liebefeld at the edge of Bern, the building has been a dining destination for almost three decades. Today, Palmira, Danilo and Dominic run the house, bringing what they call "100% Gniessä" – pure enjoyment – to every meal.
The interior is defined by its generous proportions. High ceilings, exposed wooden beams and a gallery create a sense of volume, yet soft sofas and warm lighting keep the space intimate. In warmer months, the garden becomes a small paradise with a pond and birdsong, offering a quiet escape just minutes from the city centre.
Haberbüni’s kitchen focuses on seasonal, modern cuisine. Guests choose between multi-course evening menus, popular lunch menus, and a small but enticing à la carte selection. The team emphasises affordable top-level gastronomy – refined cooking without pretension. Michelin has recognised this commitment with a Recommended award, acknowledging the consistent quality and thoughtful execution.
Whether for a business lunch, a celebratory dinner, or simply a glass of wine in the garden, Haberbüni delivers a distinctly Bernese take on seasonal modern cuisine.

History
One can hardly imagine Bern’s culinary scene without the Haberbüni. For many years, young and old alike have been making their way to the western outskirts of the city to enjoy creative, well-crafted cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere, whether on a converted hayloft stage or in a cozy garden. Our meal began promisingly with an aromatic porcini cream soup served with parmesan foam and hazelnuts, and the kohlrabi with horseradish sauce was equally delightful. As always, the main courses delivered solid fare: a tender beef fillet with root celery and olives, alongside a Coq au Riesling with bacon and mushrooms that stood as a successful interpretation of a classic. A particularly original and convincing dessert featured pumpkin paired with spices, honey, yogurt, and pistachios. The calm, stress-free service and the extensive wine list are the result of more than a quarter-century of dedicated development.
