ristorazione — Saint-Imier · Canton Berna
In the heart of the Vallée de Saint-Imier, at the foot of the Bernese Jura, the Tozzi family has spent more than thirty years carrying forward an all-Italian ritual: a cuisine that breathes the scents of the Mediterranean, far enough from the Alps to make you miss it.
The threshold of Du Nord opens onto more than thirty years of history: the Tozzi family chose Saint-Imier as home and Italian cooking as its language. An address that in the Bernese Jura has become a reference point for those seeking authenticity, not imitation: handed-down recipes, selected ingredients, and a welcome that customers describe as sincere and unpretentious.
In the dining room, the menu changes every day: alongside the à la carte offerings — fresh pastas, meats, house-made starters, carpaccio and tagliata — the kitchen proposes daily specials that follow the rhythm of the seasons and what the market provides. A generous offering, as regular customers note, served by staff who turn every meal into a moment of genuine conviviality.
The wood-fired oven is the heart of Du Nord: the pizzas come out with a crust marked by the live flame, following a technique that allows no shortcuts. For those who cannot tolerate gluten, the kitchen prepares a dedicated dough with gluten-free flour. A care that carries over to takeaway as well: the cooking keeps the same quality as service at the table.
On the plate, more than thirty years of Italian tradition find their fullest form. The complete page for Du Nord is close at hand.
