Falafel & Friends - an oriental evening
The warm late summer evening settles gently over Thun. On the Aare terrace, the water glistens in the golden-orange light of the sunset, while the scent of cumin, garlic and freshly baked flatbread fills the air.

The Story behind the Event
The inspiration for Falafel & Friends comes from our kitchen - more precisely from our head chef Tobi and chef Khalil. With passion, a wealth of family recipes and great attention to detail, he brings the flavors of his homeland to the plate. Many of his specialties are homemade - from creamy Baba Ganoush to sweet Sepezial Creme - which bears his wife's name.
Khalil began his journey with us as a kitchen assistant - with diligence, passion and a lot of humor. We encouraged and supported him to successfully complete his Progresso. He has been a permanent member of our kitchen team since 2024 and brings a fresh, oriental influence to our à la carte menu with his authentic recipes and homemade specialties.
Experience a culinary evening in Thun that takes you into the world of oriental specialties - in the open air, with a view of the Aare and in the best of company.

"For me, there is something incredibly heartfelt about oriental cuisine - it brings people together, lets us share and enjoy. In my private life, I love its spices and stories. At the Krone , it's important to me to encourage everyone in the team and involve them in the creative development so that this passion also spreads to our guests."
