Yeah, Pedro died about two months ago.

So sad he didn't get to live in the new habitat.
The suggestions above are perfect. The beauty of Bern is that the centralized old town has most of the tourists sites and everything is within walking distance.
The Altes Tram Depot is a great lunch stop and they make their own beer but it also really touristy. There are a lot of restaraunts in town with more local flavor if that's your thing. I'd recommend the Schwellenmätteli Restaraunt under the Kirkenfeld Bridge for a nice lunchtime experience.
Also, the Bern Historical Museum is worthwhile if you have time. It's the big castle-looking building across the Aare from the Casino Platz.
Enjoy your day in Bern!
