Käserei Murten: Refined Dining in the Old Town

Hosts and Kitchen

Oli Lohse and Eric Glauser run Käserei Murten with a focus on steady execution and refined cuisine. They built their reputation around showing up consistently rather than chasing novelty. The pair manage both front and back of house to keep service predictable. Guests arrive expecting familiar comfort served with precise timing.

Seasonal Plates and Wine Pairings

The menu relies on straightforward preparations that highlight ingredient quality. Chilled white tomato soup pairs sweet scallops with fresh basil leaves, while a cress and white wine broth finishes with a slow cooked egg and parmesan. Pan roasted sea bass arrives with creamy potato purée and spring onions, followed by braised beef cheek resting beside barley croquettes. The wine cellar supports this traditional cooking with crisp local whites.

Room and Critical Acclaim

Wooden tables and soft lighting anchor the dining room inside Murten’s historic streetscape. This unpretentious layout supports extended conversations without drawing attention to itself. The measured approach to classic cuisine earned a fourteen rating from Gault&Millau for the 2026 season. Critics praised the reliable standards and careful sommelier guidance throughout multiple visits.
