As we were in Gruyères, what we needed to find was a place that served Meringues with double cream because that's what their known for besides the cheese and Raclette and macaroni dish...my heart already aches thinking about how much I'll miss the cheeses here. Anyways, we bounced back and forth in the tiny town of Gruyères and this place served their meringue with double cream WITH a fruit compote. Now that was the winner for us. Who doesn't like a good side pot of fruit in sugary cooked goodness. So we went in and was asked to sit at any of the tables in the back. The waitresses seemed to be running back and forth and never got to getting our order until like 15 or so minutes. There were other groups of folks who were eating already. some of them had fondue on their tables. We were sticking to the meringue as we already had our fondue the other night. The meringue came out and it was a bit not what I expected. The meringue itself was small, the pot of creme was small and well the pot of fruit was small. Regardless we stuck our spoons into the thick white pot of delciousness that is cream. It's pretty much what you'd think cream tastes like without any flavoring...just cream, but with the meringue it's magic. Add the forest berries compote and you're up in cloud nine. Too bad it was a little pricey and the service was a bit slow to begin with. What we learned later is that there was a whole upstairs restaurant with more people. The place was heaven to my nose as it smelled of melted cheese. On a different note, as we were devouring, I mean, savoring our double cream, another table had a contraption brought to their table with a large block of cheese. OMG it's a cheese melter for the raclette. As the cheese melts and sizzles you scrape it off and eat it with potatoes or bread. Darn oh well. Maybe we can do this next time. We also ordered a tea which came with a small chocolate filled with the double cream...yum. Overall, the price the service and the dessert was okay. I wasn't completely blown away (though it might sound like I did). I'm sure we'll try to get our meringue on at another place if we go back to Gruyères. read more

I came here on vacation and it was my first time trying cheese fondue. I was really excited, but the service here made it the worst experience. This lady gave us an attitude and made comments on everything we did. We were starving so when they served us bread before our meal we had some and then when the fondue came we asked for more bread because we saw that people asked for more bread and she was more than happy to get them more bread. However, when we asked for more bread she gave us a nasty look and comment. Then when we didn't finish the fondue she made another comment about the bread. The food is mediocre here so it's not worth coming to be treated with poor service. read more

The food is Swiss-we had fondue and a salad. Meringue for dessert. Good service. The best part is sitting out on the terrace out back and enjoying the incredible view. read more

We loved our dinner here! There were four of us so we ordered two for the basic fondue, one macaroni, and one cheese crust. Each dish was essentially bread with cheese, but they were all so different from each other and absolutely delicious. The service was so kind and attentive despite a big tour group of teens that were not polite to the staff. The staff were running from table to table, clearly working so hard but they remained kind and a pleasure to be with. The food came much faster than we expected given the other groups. The view from the patio can't be beat either! Every place in town is a bit expensive and a bit corny but that's what you get in a tourist town. This restaurant is nothing fancy but so delicious and exactly what we wanted. read more

The service was extremely rude and the food mediocre. Go to any place else on the street. We even had a discount here because we were staying at the hotel, and the terrible service made us search elsewhere. read more

This spot is absolutely amazing! We got to try the traditional cheese fondue, as well as other traditional Gruyere foods! Everything was delicious! The staff was sooooo welcoming and so sweet! The icing on the cake was when we met the owners, who sent us a sparkling surprise with chocolate fondue for our honeymoon!! It is so refreshing to meet such genuinely nice and caring people while traveling abroad! We will definitely be back! read more

Gorgeous view of lower Alps from our table on the terrace. 10 Franc cheese platter was diverse, delicious and enough for two.. White wines at very reasonable prices. Service was also excellent. Usual Swiss clean facility. My better half I spent a most enjoyable 90 M. Formidable. Le plat de fromage a 10 F e'tait de'licieux et assez pour 2 personnes. Le paysage e'tait aussi magnifique. Le service = superbe. read more

Nice place for families. Good raclette and meat. Located right in the city center (gorgeous Le as Gruyères), convenient and friendly staff.
