    Yes, the reason to come here is the fondue (and only the fondue). I'm Swiss by origin but have…read morelived abroad for decades. Still, I compare every fondue with how my mom, and her mom, used to make it. The fondue here is good indeed. The server tonight was overly preoccupied with my health - how much/what I eat and drink - a curious passion for someone working in an establishment that serves heart attacks in a pan, but I didn't let that diminish my enjoyment of the unhealthy food. Again, I'm Swiss, lol. Now this may sound strange for a restaurant (and dish) centered around cheese, but the weak spot of my fondue was the bread: too white, too soft and just not the right kind. And since they serve it cut only in thick slices, rather than cubes, if you don't know how to cut/tear and "spear" your morsel of bread, you're bound to lose it in the pot and have to perform all kinds of socially incorrect acts of redemption. Oh, the Swiss..!

    Very cozy spot with a local feel, right in the center of Morges. The menu is typical of the area,…read morewith choices such as steak tartare and hearty meat dishes. We went for the cheese fondue though, and it was excellent. The cheese was smooth and flavorful, with just a hint of liqueur for a little kick. The bread was sliced in large pieces, so you could tear off however much you wanted with each bite. It was a great texture to soak up the cheese. A small complaint is that it took quite a while for our fondue to be served; at other places I've been, we were served in 10 minutes or so. Also I would have liked to have some potatoes on the side, as well as some of the garnishes, such as pickles and onions. Overall though, I would definitely recommend this spot for the cozy atmosphere, good food, and reasonable prices.

    After seeing glowing reviews on numerous sites, I decided to stop by to try some fondue while I was…read morein town. Although the service was fine, the dining experience turned out to be all around pretty lackluster. The restaurant is on the smaller side and felt a bit claustrophobic with the low-rounded ceiling and few windows. The lighting was also really bright, in contrast to other restaurants which use dim/warm lighting for dinner service. I was seated at the corner of a long table and felt a bit pressed against the wall, as the bench on which I sat was fairly thin and there was only about a foot of space between the table and the wall (to my back). I don't know about the other menu items, but the price point was a bit high for fondue. Standard fondue is 24 CHF and fondue with morel mushrooms (morrilles) is a few CHF more. Curious, I decided to try the fondue with morels and paired it with a glass of white wine. The wine was good and the fondue tasted fine, but turns out there were barely any discernible morel crumbs in the fondue, far from being worth the upcharge. On top of that, the portion was very small and the bread was not fresh. I felt like I was caught in a tourist trap. I've dined at some other places in Lausanne that felt more comfortable and had better fondue. I'd probably stick with those next time I'm in town.

    This is the kind of restaurant my dad would go to in Switzerland. Old school traditional food…read more The restaurant itself was very cool. Kind of like you are stepping back in time. Great ambiance. Menu limited. We didn't try the fondue because you had to order it for two people, it looked like a lot of cheese and smelled really strong and was expensive (50 bucks for a pot of cheese and some bread), but I guess that is just Switzerland in general, expensive. Service was pretty good, waitress spoke no English. Salad was decent and the cabbage that came with the very chewy meat was good. The meat itself, well, it wasn't so great. Bad cut I'm guessing, I mean the flavor was good but it was so chewy I wound up spitting most of it out. And I really chewed a long time! Glad I went to at least get the experience of old school Switzerland, but would not go back. Ok maybe for a beer and a side of the cabbage! Beer was good!

    Restaurant Les Armures is a historic (I heard oldest restaurant) in the middle of Geneva's Old Town…read more(Vieille Ville). If you're a tourist it is just steps from Saint-Pierre Cathedral. Renowned for serving authentic traditional Swiss cuisine there are hearty dishes on the menu .I found the quality lived up to its reputation for the cheese fondue which was Gruyère and Vacherin cheeses with some kind of wine. Pair it with l the onion soup. Both were delicious. I recommend visiting one of the best in Geneva. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic and service was good.

    Les Armures - Geneva…read more This restaurant is no stranger to famous people; Bill Murray Paul McCartney - (10/09/00) George Clooney - (03/09/08) Bill Clinton - (15/01/94) I haven't eaten anything all day. I was walking around and stumbled by accident across Restaurant Les Armures. This restaurant welcomes everyone with open arms and staff is more than willing to help you navigate through their Swiss Menu. I walked in around, 17:30 (5:30pm), during their busy time and I asked if they had any open tables available for one person. The manager was so kind and graciously let me dine here. He did say, "As long as you can dine in an hour and a half, you should be fine. We do have reservations set past 19:00 (7:30pm)." I accepted his offer, "I appreciate it, I don't need but an hour." The atmosphere is very historic, dating back to 17th century. Here you will enjoy exquisite dishes and wonderful Swiss hospitality. The staff is more than happy give you great recommendations and help translate menu. They offer great choices on their menu. I wanted something completely local. I settled on, "Féra fumée du Léman" - Smoked Geneva Lake White Fish. My waiter also recommended something on the sweet side for dessert, " Mousse au chocolat suisse et Ovomaltine." - Swiss Chocolate Mousse with Ovomaltine. Every dish was delicious and worth the price. Next time you're visiting Geneva, stop by here and enjoy great hospitality and cuisine.
