Bistro Inklusive

Welcome to Bistro Inklusive, an inspiring dining destination in the heart of Aarau. Here, the motto 'Come as you are, bring what you can, and take what you need' defines a warm, inclusive atmosphere where every guest feels valued. We are operated by the Stiftung David Dienst Schweiz, a dedicated non-profit organization committed to social engagement and community integration.

Our bistro is much more than a place to eat — it is a meeting point and a lively example of inclusion in action. Located at Bahnhofstrasse 67 on the third floor, we offer a welcoming space where fresh, homemade cuisine meets heartfelt hospitality. From our popular Flammkuchen to a fresh salad buffet, every dish is prepared with care by a team passionate about quality and service.

Our Menu & Fresh Creations

We take pride in a daily changing menu that highlights seasonal ingredients and homemade specialties. Flammkuchen is our signature dish, available in vegetarian and classic variations such as the acclaimed 'Mit Bure-schinke,' which pairs crispy dough with savory ham and creamy toppings. Guest favorites also include our panierte Pouletbrust, coated in cornflakes and coconut flakes for a surprising crunch.

The salad buffet is another highlight, consistently described by our guests as fresh, well-organized, and delicious. It is served with warm bread, making it a perfect light meal or a healthy side. With an average price range of 10–20 CHF per person, we make wholesome, high-quality food accessible to everyone in the community.

Inclusion as a Living Mission

The heartbeat of Bistro Inklusive is our social mission. As a flagship project of the Stiftung David Dienst Schweiz, we provide meaningful employment and vocational training for people of all abilities. Every team member contributes their skills in an environment built on respect, openness, and genuine support.

Our daily operations prove that inclusion works. Colleagues work side by side, learning from one another and delivering an authentic hospitality experience. When you visit us, you directly support a model that fosters dignity, independence, and community connection. This is not just a business; it is a movement toward a more inclusive society in Aarau and beyond.
