It is worth stopping for a moment to admire the establishment's sign and fresco (rue de la Préfecture). In 1897, the entire façade of the Hôtel du Bœuf was covered with a fresco by two artists from Bern. It read in large letters: Gasthof Ochsen. In 1960, the Delémontain painter Pierre Michel produced, in his spare time, the frescoes which adorn the main entrance and which represent an ox seen from the front surrounded by a peasant woman and a peasant. The sign also depicts a crowned ox. On the other side of the establishment, the terrace (west side) has a view of the many restaurants on Place Roland Béguelin (formerly Place Brûlée).
