Marie-Rose Boulhaut visits Restaurant Ochsen in Münsingen

Marie-Rose Boulhat, Sales Representative at Weibel Weine, recently visited the Restaurant Ochsen in Münsingen. While enjoying their signature cold, thinly sliced roast beef served medium-rare, accompanied by a glass of Dolcetto d'Alba DOC from Figli Luigi Oddero, she had the opportunity to speak with host Monika Linder-Löffel about her passion for hospitality, gastronomy, and the values that have made Ochsen a cherished destination for many years:

What do your guests particularly appreciate about the restaurant?

For generations, Ochsen Münsingen has stood for warm hospitality, personal connections, and outstanding culinary quality. These values are exactly what bring our guests back time and time again.

Our attentive and family-oriented approach is particularly appreciated. As a traditional family-run business, we place great importance on personal relationships with our guests and create an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and at home. Many of our regular guests have been visiting us for years and enjoy seeing familiar faces every time they return.

Another key factor in our success is our unwavering commitment to quality. Whether it is a Friday evening or a Sunday afternoon, our guests can always rely on the same high standards in both the kitchen and service. This consistency is a matter of course for us and forms the foundation of the trust our guests place in us.

Our continuous kitchen service is also highly valued. From 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., we serve hot meals without interruption. This offers our guests maximum flexibility, whether for a spontaneous lunch, an afternoon snack, or a relaxed dinner.

Many guests also appreciate the wide range of possibilities for private and business events. Thanks to our various function rooms, we can accommodate everything from intimate celebrations to elegant banquets for up to 100 guests. For special occasions, even larger events can be arranged.

In short, Ochsen Münsingen combines tradition, hospitality, quality, and flexibility – making it a special place for memorable moments and culinary enjoyment for many guests year after year.

Which wines from Weibel Weine are customer favorites?

Among our most popular wines are characterful selections such as the Dolcetto d'Alba DOC from Figli Luigi Oddero and the powerful Lagrein Alto Adige DOC from Elena Walch, both of which are consistently enjoyed by our guests. These wines are particularly popular when shared among friends, family, or larger groups gathered around the table.

A special feature of our wine selection is the seasonal rotation of wines available by the glass. This allows us to regularly introduce our guests to new discoveries while perfectly matching our wine offering to the season and our culinary creations. Whether it is a fresh and elegant wine for summer or a richer, more structured wine for autumn and winter dishes, the right wine recommendation is always part of the dining experience at Ochsen.

Many of our regular guests appreciate this balance between familiarity and variety. They know they can always return to their favourite wines while also discovering exciting new selections throughout the year.

This ensures that every visit to Ochsen Münsingen remains a rewarding experience for wine lovers.

What is the house specialty? And what makes it special?

At Ochsen Münsingen, we combine cherished culinary classics with the variety and freshness of seasonal cuisine. Many of our signature dishes have been part of our menu for decades and continue to be favourites among our guests.

One of our most popular specialities is our thinly sliced, pink-roasted roast beef. Especially during the summer season, it is one of the highlights of our menu. Prepared according to a recipe that has been passed down through generations, it has become a true Ochsen classic over the years.

Other long-standing favourites include our traditional calf’s liver and the classic Bernese Platter, both of which are available throughout the year.

This consistency is something our guests greatly appreciate. They know they can enjoy their favourite dishes at any time, regardless of the season.

At the same time, we bring variety to the table through seasonal specialities and carefully selected wine recommendations. This allows us to create new culinary experiences throughout the year, perfectly matched to the flavours and ingredients of each season.
