Café Bern in the media

 

From an article about eating out alone, that it is becoming more and more normal; and where to find the nice places to eat alone.

Editors and specialists of Amsterdam’s leading newspaper Het Parool tip the reader in which ten restaurants the best cheese fondue in town is served; including of course Café Bern.

“Perhaps the most famous fondue restaurant in Amsterdam: Café Bern, where you can also order prime rib or spaghetti. The cheese fondue is exactly the way you want it: in a red hot, bubbling cheese pan, served with baguette.”

DjBella, when asked “Which restaurant is one of your favourites?”

“Café Bern has been on the Nieuwmarkt for a long time. Their menu has not changed since its inception. The food is simple, but very good. I share the cheese fondue and the beef with garlic sauce with my partner. It’s nice to see the staff recognize you when you get back there.”
