An excellent day!

Not sure if this is much help but here in the french-speaking side, often the commune has a place/space that it looks for someone to run as a cafe/restraunt. It is more like an old auberge in the center of the village and the commune owns it. There may be some fees involved, but you would not pay market rental prices. Generally speaking though, they put it at your disposal to have the restaruant open for the villagers. I am guessing that similar arrangements exist in the german side but am not sure. How to go about it, most I hear is word of mouth, or by just living in the commune. Sometimes it is advertised in the local papers.

In north Bern is a restaurant that struggled and has just closed.

I think the Gemeinde are wondering what to do with it, it is probably available immediately,

Further to my earlier post, I've also heard of some organisations, http://www.gastrosuisse.ch, http://www.gastro-express.ch whereby restraunts and those in the business can find places, etc.

Thank you very much for your responses.
We already know the sites from Gastrosuisse (and the satelites). I’ve already called there for legal advices. Unfortunately, they deal only with employees and not employers or prospective employers.
We continue to look! Once gain, thank you very much for your time and your responses.

There are two maybes I know of one in Maur http://www.maur.ch/?page=33 on the main road has been vacant for a while and the owners of http://tel.search.ch/uetikon-am-see/...nenhof.en.html in Uetikon are retiting soon and I don't know if anyone has stepped up to take it on. I have been searching commercial premises and not all of them show up on comparis.ch you are better to look at the individual sites eg homegate, immoscout24 to get a better range of what is available. Also depending on what your planning, if it is out of the city (ie a local resturant) you should really target handworkers, get a list of local businesses and offer crazy deals at 9.00 (good coffee/hamburgers and fast service ect), (I am one of these guys) most are seriously loyal when it is good. But word of mouth is important, any place with a bunch of workers trucks parked around it at 9.00 is a good sign for the rest of the locals.

Thank you very much for your reply.
In fact, our idea is to open a small restaurant where peoples can eat GOOD FOOD and feel good also...
As I said, my husband is French and he aims is "la cuisine gastro" without claiming some fancy restaurant's results. So....we want to serve good food like AT HOME. For everyone and all budgets.

I don't understand very well what's about that restaurant in Maur. It seems to be already leased and under construction.

Anyway, thank you very much for your reply and...soon...

Hope to see you all, at us, at the grand opening evening!

The owners of the restaurant Joehri's Talvo in St. Moritz will retire this year and looking to sell the place.

) That's the area I am quitting 2 years ago! Beautiful restaurant but out of our ligue!
Thanks anyway... just in case I'll win the jackpot....
