Restaurant zum Löwen in Messen is a culinary institution in the region, offering long-standing tradition and a passion for gastronomy. Since its founding in 1822, the establishment has delighted its guests with cuisine that is contemporary yet down-to-earth. Under the direction of proprietor Jonas Ingold and his team, the restaurant combines the best of seasonal and regional ingredients. The understated design and the cozy atmosphere invite guests both to linger and to celebrate special occasions.

At the Löwen Messen, two distinct culinary worlds are on offer. The Löwen Brasserie offers a varied lunch menu as well as a la carte dishes, ideal for a business lunch or an inviting way to unwind after an eventful day. In the evening, at the Löwen Gourmet, you can experience an exclusive eight-course menu that changes quarterly, a fine-dining experience prepared for only a small group of up to ten guests. This culinary journey, personally curated by Jonas Ingold, leaves nothing to be desired and offers numerous discoveries.

Restaurant zum Löwen is also excellently equipped for events, whether weddings or corporate celebrations, with the planning and execution professionally supported by the experienced team. Located at Hauptstrasse 42 in Messen, it is easy to reach, and the surroundings also offer a wonderful view of the striking church tower of Messen. The location is also a popular destination for day-trippers from the surrounding towns of Bern, Biel, Solothurn, and Burgdorf.

The family atmosphere, together with the high quality of the food, ensures a unique experience in which people come first. The restaurant was awarded 16 points by Gault&Millau in 2026, underscoring the outstanding quality of the cuisine and service on offer.

In this way, guests experience not only outstanding food but also the warm hospitality of the Löwen team, which carries this long tradition forward into the future.
