Casa Novo is located on the banks of the Aare, the river snaking through Bern. If you reserve here on a sunny day, make sure that you get a table on the lower terasse right next to the Aare. The Fräulein Wunder you’re trying to seduce or the mother-in-law you’re trying to impress will all think that you’re a smooth player with excellent taste. The beef tatare was slightly disappointing, since the medium spicyness did not generate any hint of heat. The service for refilling our toast was impeccable and as soon as the basket was empty a new one appeared. Mains were very tasty veal liver cubes with a port wine sauce and vegetables. Nothing to complain, well executed food, however the side dish of Olive linguine was lacking a bit of aroma. The prices reflect the location, but when you look at the people jumping the bridge into the river and you enjoy the majestic flow of the Aare, you’ll be able to cope with the impact of the bill. The CEO of a major swiss telco company sitting behind us clearly indicates that Casa Novo is best visited on a company lunch expense account:
