Maurice Bridel is much more than an experienced restaurateur—he is a true visionary with a keen sense for trends, enjoyment, and the extraordinary. For many years, he has shaped the restaurant scene with passion, creativity, and the highest standards of quality. With the opening of wineBANK Bern as a committed franchise partner, he has boldly broken new ground and set a real milestone.

wineBANK Bern is part of an exclusive international wine storage and enjoyment concept that is accessible around the clock, completely independently of staff. What sounds like a dream for the future has long been a reality in Bern. “wineBANK Bern is not just a place for wine lovers but an experience that connects people in a stylish, independent, and sophisticated way,” says Bridel.

His deep understanding of the needs of connoisseurs and restaurateurs was the key to success. The synergies are impressive: guests at his restaurants discover the world of wineBANK—and vice versa. This fosters connections, networks, and a completely new culinary experience.

What once began as a bold vision is now a resounding success. wineBANK Bern has established itself as an elegant retreat for wine lovers—a space for discovery, connection, and enjoyment. “I am proud to have taken this path as a franchise partner and to have filled it with life,” says Bridel. “The consistently positive response shows that we have struck a chord that is in line with the spirit of the times.”
