"Travelling by train from Lausanne to Zurich I felt like a break in the city of Biel/Bienne to have a bite and to try some local wine, since the area around the lake of Biel is a well known wine growing area. On that warm summer evening most locals had been heading towards the lake, thus the center was rather quiet. From the railway station I walked down the Bahnhofstrasse, where there are no cars, only city busses going through. On the right hand side can be found several eateries with outdoor seating. I chose the last one with almost no guests, but a friendly looking waitress. My order had been a glass of local white wine as a starter and the excellent waitress, who was also very informed about wine growing, recommended me a 'Schafiser '. Schafis is a village near the lake and it has given here the name to the Chasselas grape, which is so popular all over Western Switzerland and which is known as 'Fendant ' in the Valais. The modern looking restaurant in a functionalist style has all kind of dishes, also Fondue and Steak Tartare, but I went for a 'Falken Plättli '. On a plate of black slate are served cold cuts (roast beef, dry-cured ham, salami) and very little cheese, all topped by gherkins, caper berries and baby-tomatoes. Slices of dark bread and butter come with it and also a peppermill is brought along. To accompany the dish I asked for some local red wine and the waitress suggested a 'Pinot Noir ' from the village of Ligerz. The two deciliter came in a small caraffe. It was a quiet dinner and I enjoyed sitting outside and doing some people watching. After the tourist crowds of Montreux a few hours earlier it was relaxing to see no tourists here,on the other hand a for Switzerland surprising high number of obviously local residents with overseas roots."

Das Restaurant ist sehr zentral gelegen. Es ist freundlich und der Service wie das Essen super. Im Sommer ist die Terrasse nicht zu verachten.

Nach längerem wieder einmal im Falken, am Mittag: Gemütliches Lokal, gute Auswahl, sehr freundlihe und kompetente Bedienung. Gute Auswahl an günstigen Menüs. Das Essen gut - nur die Pommes Alumettes waren sehr hart. Sonst aber perfekt und jederzeit gerne wieder!
Margareta
Dieses Restaurant ist einfach nur empfehlenswert. Sehr gutes Essen. ZB. Rehrücken oder Cordon Bleu. Die Bedienung ist sehr zuvorkommend und man merkt, dass sie ihren Beruf liebt. Sie hat auch Zeit für ein kleines Schwätzchen.Ich gehe immer wieder gerne in den Falken und freue mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch. View menu

The restaurant is right in the centre of town, inside it is spacious, with nice fittings. The service was friendly and efficient, there is a good selection of typical Swiss dishes. The food was well-cooked and presented, the waitress offered to put what we couldn 't manage into a doggy-bag for us to take away. I can recommend the place!

Ich vergebe nicht oft 5 Punkte, aber hier ist es angebracht. Eine angenehme Atmosphäre (mit Tiger), sehr kompetente und freundliche Bedienung, dann noch eine exzellentes Käsefondue - und da wir zu dritt waren standen alle drei angebotenen Varianten auf dem Tisch - herrlich! Auch ein lokaler Wein vom Bieler See war auf der Karte und passte perfekt.Ein Fixpunkt bei meinem Besuch in Biel.
