Burrito Bandito Bern
L.A. street food in Bern
If you are craving burritos, tacos, burgers or hearty bowls for lunch, dinner, or something in between, this is the place to be: Burrito Bandito serves some of the most delicious street food in Bern. The meat is from the local butcher, and there are vegan/vegetarian options for most dishes. The owner, originally from California, wanted to bring yummy, healthy Californian-Mexican soul food from back home to Switzerland. And let me tell you, he succeeded!
The food is available to eat-in, takeout or delivery. I recommend a homemade lemonade with your burrito – the best way to quench your thirst.
Pro tip: The restaurant is on your way to the Münster, so why not grab your food to go and enjoy it at the bustling Münsterplattform? Face toward the sky, bask in the sun, or just watch the locals playing Boule (a French outdoor game where players toss metal balls toward a small target). Epic!

Bursting Tree Mural
Reclaim The City
Nature is claiming back the city - a powerful image. The mural was painted by Paul Stämpfli in 1987, way before the world was discussing climate change.

Kopflos
Mind the step
"Kopflos" ('headless') at Casinoplatz in Bern is my favourite piece of art in the city's public space. I love its four fingers!

Tram Nr. 8
Go West!
Hop on "Tram Nr. 8" at the main station for a 25min ride through the post-war urban planning history of Bern. It gets interesting around Europaplatz...

Chindlifresser
Free drinks
"Chindlifresser" in Bern is a gruesome 500-year-old statue of a 'child-eater', but it's also one of my favorite cold-water providers in the whole city!

Zytglogge-Pissoir
One for the boys
"Zytglogge-Pissoir" in Bern is a place for gents to pee around the clock on the medieval watchtower. Where else can you pee on a 500-y.o UNESCO site?

Kreissaal
Late Night Cocktails
Their house specialties "Black Cuban" (a rum coffee cocktail) and "Fado" (port wine and whiskey) are worth spoiling yourself for.

Trallala
Where The Wild Wines Are
I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
