L'Écluse

Top choice in Fribourg, Drei-Seen-Land and The Jura


Set in pretty parkland between two canals, this iron-columned former watch factory houses one of Biel-Bienne's most charming restaurants. Meat, seafood and pasta dishes come accompanied by fresh vegetables and excellent pommes frites. On summer evenings head for the outdoor terrace, overhung with trees and globe lamps and buzzing with multilingual chatter.
