The newly opened Restaurant Kettenbrücke has a small but nicely put together menu. Some of the dishes come with a little "twist". The asparagus for instance were backed in a thin eatable paper.I like what they have done with the place regarding interior design.The service could be a tad better and waiting times reduced.Dear JohannaHallerThank you very much for your Feedback. It is with pleasure to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our place.

After the disappointment of overhyped Giusi's, we decided to have a drink here. There's nothing remarkable about the place, but it's in a good location, the staff are helpful and pleasant, the coffee is good, and the seating (inside, anyway) is comfortable. We didn't eat here, but the menu looked appealing so next time, we might try having a light meal. The prices are modest for Switzerland; for international visitors it might seem mid-priced.

We were exploring Aarau and needed somewhere for lunch. A waitress asked if we wanted lunch and when we said yes, she asked several gentlemen to budge up to make room for us at the pavement tables. My wife and daughter both had the burger special deal: burger, fries, salad, and a 5 DL soft drink, all for 19,90. When I saw my favourite Schweinschnitzel with pommes frites on the menu, I couldn't say no. A large beer on a hot late spring afternoon made my meal complete. The service was great with the staff friendly and welcoming.Hello! We thank you for the excellent evaluation. We hope to be able to serve you and your family again soon.

This place is a great 'local restaurant', and not really on the tourist trail. hidden at the back of a butchers, the meat is as you would expect - excellent !!There were 8 of us and the service was excellent, and all food was good with clean plates all round. the steak was perfectly cooked and vegtables all good too. would certainly recommend !its a great spot overlooking the river via an elevated patio, certainly worth a visit and reasonably priced

I have participated in several business lunches here when recently visiting our business site nearby. I always look forward to lunch in this more formal restaurant offering pressed linen table clothes and a nice menu variety. I find the service quite attentive without being interfering. Plus, the restaurant has good acoustics so that one can hear others at their table without having to shout. The food is always quite good.Dear "James W""Always great food" - is more than our aim and obligation; it's our passion. Thank you very much for beeing our guest and we appreciate your feedback very much. Under one roof, we offer three different restaurants with three different styles of cuisine. Your favourite one seems to be the Restaurant Mürset.We are looking forward to your next visit and wish you all the best until then.Martin Klima & the Mürset team

Staff / Food / Ambience: great! The hosts ensure a great ambience, friendly atmosphere, and a lot of attention to detail - both in regard to food and and decoreation: which make a visit totally worthwile. However, the restaurant lacks a nice and friendly summer terrace. What a hugh shame. Regardless, if the weather sucks: a visit at this place will enlighten your day!!Dear defkoThank you very much for your visit and your kind words about staff, food and ambience - we truly appreciate that.Concerning the lack of a nice and friendy summer terrace; we totally agree with you! Unfortunately we are waiting for almost 6 month now for our permit to wait on tables on the sunny side of the street. What a pity. Tables and chairs are ready to be placed - we are just waiting for the OK by the administration.In the meantime we hope to see you again soon on very hot or rainy days - or whenever you are down for a good coffee, drink or food.With our warmest ragardsToby & DésiOwner
