Le Vivant: a Restaurant in Bern with a selection of natural wines. Local, seasonal, organic food and natural wines.

About

philosophy Every guest should feel at home at le vivant. It is important to us to cook dishes that are fun and enjoyable with local and sustainable products. We also serve wines that unadornedly reflect their origins in the glass. The atmosphere should be relaxed and friendly, just lively. We want to enjoy eating, drinking and being together. Without frills, but with natural quality and the beauty of nature and life. "If you only fine-tune the nuances of taste, you lose sight of the essentials, nature, products and people." Frank Buchholz We only serve living wines. Wines that are made out of the greatest respect for nature, the climate and the environment. Wines that are unadorned: nothing taken away, nothing added. We believe in sustainable and gentle cultivation and in vinification without intervention. We have the greatest respect for winemakers who dedicate themselves to natural viticulture with a lot of effort and dedication. That is why we dedicate our wine range to all of these winemakers.

No natural wines on glass, either they changed something or the other review is fake. Food is extremely overpriced and they will literally serve stuff from cans worth few CHF from cheap supermarkets and sell it for 25 CHF. 4 tiny potatoes in a bit of sauce was 30 CHF. Etc, etc. to be avoided.

Le Vivant is one of the best restaurants we have ever been. Beat, the chef, creates wonderful dishes, amazingly tasteful and the combination of the ingredients used is so creative - our mouths are watering by just thinking about his food. We just started our natural wine journey, but Beat and Yannick made it very easy for us to step into this new world of natural wines. Yannick is an unbelievably attentive and hospitable chef de service - you literally feel warmly welcomed like at friends. We will be back very very soon.

Le Vivant is an oasis of encounters, not only with Beat and Yannik as hosts with a big heart in a simple, modern interior, but also with the always excellent and tastily prepared seasonal dishes of the extra class. The excellent wine selection with many new trouvailles of vibrant wines that make the palate dance. Be open-minded and you will find new friends of good taste and life at the tables.
