Company Christmas Dinner

Published: 09.08.2024

How about some merry italianità? Or maybe a festive fondue with a view? Here’s some inspiration for an unforgettable office Christmas party.

Zum Äusseren Stand

The fine-dining restaurant Zum Äusseren Stand is steeped in history. One if its most special features is the Empire-Saal (empire hall), where the Swiss Federal Constitution was signed. With its elegant character and the Parisian chandelier dating from 1854, it is undoubtedly the masterpiece. Those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere will enjoy the courtyard restaurant, which makes every Christmas party a success with its glass roof and well-stocked bar.

Dinner under the Fin Whale

Sorry, what? A Christmas party surrounded by animals from times gone by, bones, sparkling crystals, or invertebrates: the Natural History Museum can make it happen. The different rooms can accommodate anywhere from 20 to 130 people. Reserve your date now and prepare for astonished faces and lasting impressions.

Zehendermätteli

Friends of plants, delicious flavours and pretty backdrops, we present to you: the Zehendermätteli, nestled between the River Aare and the snowy forest. The Christmas celebration will take place in its beautifully decorated greenhouse, where colourful dishes made from local ingredients are served, paired with ease and lightheartedness. Head to Bremgarten for an exceptional, sustainable experience with and for your team.

More of a fan of dolce vita for Christmas? Ristorante Verdi in Bern’s old town is dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi and his music and serves Emilian specialities like bollito misto as a homage to the Italian composer’s home region. The carefully renovated restaurant has several rooms and alcoves and an impressive vaulted cellar that is ideal for intimate tavolatas and larger team events of up to 50 people.

Gasthof Löwen Riffenmatt

If you would like your office Christmas party to have lots of traditional elements and Swiss charm, the Gasthof Löwen Riffenmatt in the Gantrisch Nature Park is the perfect choice. The rustic, traditional restaurant serves delicious meals. Its wooden walls are lovingly decorated with old tools and raffia baskets and will give your event a cosy chalet feel.

Du Nord

If you are looking for a laid-back, sociable restaurant for your Christmas dinner, the restaurant Du Nord is for you. At the “Grande Bouffe”, everyone serves themselves what they feel like having from beautifully arranged bowls and platters. The surprise three-course meal with at least six different dishes is suited for vegetarians and omnivores alike. And the sharing concept automatically leads to a cosy atmosphere and relaxed chatter.

Food Festival at Le Beizli

Culinary trip around the world, anyone? A Christmas feast at the restaurant Le Beizli in the Vidmarhallen will take your team to faraway lands. Food trucks and market stalls create an indoor festival feeling and the dishes made from local ingredients conjure up images of colourful bazaars, glittering rivieras, or even granny’s kitchen. There is enough space and holiday spirit for up to 200 people.

Turbo Lama

How about switching it up this year? Turbo Lama takes things up a notch with its vegan flying dinner. Flying? Yup – instead of spending the entire evening in the same seat, everyone can move freely from table to table. Food is served continuously in bite-sized portions. There’s something for every taste, and there are plenty of opportunities to chat or bust a move on the dancefloor.

Uma Tower

Lofty heights, huge glass fronts and a panoramic view of all of Bern – welcome to your office Christmas party at the Uma Tower restaurant. There is room for up to twelve people in the private room, 40 people in the larger room, and up to 60 people in the entire restaurant.

Bern’s famous landmark, the Bern Minster, also offers stunning and unique views. Its vaulted hall can be booked for events like office Christmas parties, but you’ll have to hurry: it can be reserved until 22 December 2024, and then you’ll have to wait until March.

Rosengarten

The veranda of the Rosengarten restaurant is the ideal place for a Christmas dinner. An open fire crackling in the background, fondue being stirred on the tables, the magnificent view over the entire Unesco-listed old town of Bern. After the successful evening, the path leads down to the BearPark, across the River Aare and into the lower part of the old town – a perfect post-fondue stroll.

Hotel Bern Rooftop Terrace

Did someone say fondue? In the wintertime, the rooftop terrace of the Hotel Bern offers fondue with a view for gourmets who love a good setting just as much as they love good food. Dipping bread into gooey, melted cheese under the starry night sky with a view of Bern’s enchanting Unesco-listed old town not only warms your heart and stomach, it also gives you time for a relaxed chat with your colleagues.
