Restaurant zum Kreuz — Vechigen Dorf 23A, 3067 Boll, Switzerland

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant zum Kreuz. A charming stop in the Bernese alpine region, perfect if you’re exploring the area or just looking for a good meal with a view. The drive up to the restaurant offers beautiful scenery, especially on the final stretch—just watch out for the local cats that like to stroll across the road. The owners have even put up cute signs in both directions asking drivers to slow down, which adds to the place’s friendly and homey charm. The restaurant has two terraces on different levels—one sunny, one more shaded—so you can choose depending on your mood and the weather. The table setup is quite simple, but the chairs are comfortable, and the atmosphere is relaxed. There’s a wide selection of food on the menu. We were in the mood for something simple: I had a green salad followed by chicken escalope with fries and vegetables, while my friend went for the veal liver with mushroom sauce. Both dishes were nicely cooked—nothing fancy, but satisfying and in a hearty, homemade style. The service was friendly and efficient, and there’s plenty of free parking right next to the restaurant. All in all, it’s not a gourmet destination, but it offers honest value for money and lovely surroundings. A solid choice, especially if you’re passing through on a Sunday evening when many other places are closed.

Wonderful place... Thr beef liver is so tender and cooked to perfect. Lovely atmosphere for the Swiss farm area right in the cut of the hills. A rare find!

The liver was cooked nice and soft. Variety of small salads (not seen in the picture) accompanied the salad in the roast beef.
