Zollikofen ? Far from the madding crowd, 15 minutes away from Berne 's main railway station and really worth the trip. A patchwork of stunning buildings, a synagogue, a castle, a jardin à la française with roses and box hedges, a sweet slope towards a mint coloured river called Aare. With a barge to take you across and a vast terrace. Almond trout, thick entrecôte and pike as the ultimate treat were on our menu, celebrating a triple birthday. Garden fresh salads, bread with butter and a very rare retsina tasting white wine from Valais called Marsanne. And a both ceremonious friendly service to feel like royalties. And a private car at your disposal to drive you back, should the night go on.....
