Searching a hygge place in Bern? Look no further — Pusterum simply exudes coziness and Danish charm all day long. It is like home beyond home: perfectly suitable for burying yourself in a book, a good cup of tea or a relaxing evening beyond your four walls. Because the premises are quite big, the noise level is pleasingly low, which contributes to the chilled atmosphere.

I am particularly fond of their Scandivian Smörgärsbord (nordish tapas) a. The portions are perfectly sized for sharing, so you can taste several dishes and get add-ons, ideal for all with significant decision difficulties like me (luckily, their staff is friendly and patient, too…).

Another compelling argument to make the 10 minutes ride from the city center to the Mattehof quarter is the multifarious activities you can attend at Pusterum: ping pong accompanied by locally brewed beer, philosophical coffee meetings, dancing, concerts, knitting, and the list goes on… It is definitely worth checking their agenda!

Since you are already in the neighborhood, don’t miss out on some bar hopping at ZAR Café*Bar.
