    A romantic escape to Europe just a few miles over the US border!! The hosts are super friendly and…read morethe dining is reminiscent of a quaint Swiss fondue restaurant. We have stayed at the Inn and eaten here at least eight times over the years and are going back again in a few weeks. We always order the fondue which is made fresh by real Swiss Germans who know what they're doing. Stay here if you are driving to Montreal from New England. The rate is $95 plus you get a 10% discount with AAA. Have a great dinner, drink a bottle of wine, stumble up to your room, wake up to a wonderful European style breakfast, hike the paths through their acreage, and then take off for Montreal which is about an hour's drive. I have to mention that the rooms are no frills but have TVs unlike many B&Bs. You are right on Rt 133 so you must be prepared to hear the trucks go by on the highway. They are all on the second floor which means you might have accessibility issues. My rating of 5 stars is for the complete package (dinner, room, breakfast). You might forget your stay at the Frontenac or the Ritz, but you'll never forget the romantic little nook you found in Pike River.

    Absolutely loved this place. Driving on dark roads to Montreal we stumbled across La Suisse for the…read morenight. Inside is very typical of a Swiss-style chalet, with a log cabin-esque exterior. In the lobby is an assortment of fondues, chocolates and jams. On each door is a name of a different Swiss city (Bern, Zurich, Geneve, etc.) and the rooms are immaculate. The beds are super comfortable on wooden frames, and there were no signs of bedbugs whatsover, even under the mattresses. Set in a very rural, remote Quebec town, but the view of the cornfields in the morning is incredible! There is a full continental breakfast in the morning starting at 8am I believe. Excellent place to stay if traveling from Vermont to Montreal. Tip: use AAA card for a 10% discount.

    As a fondue lover I had to try this place after my friend went. I've been talking about it to my…read moreboyfriend and of course he surprised me on Valentine's Day awww! Fondissimo is attached to another resto called le shop you just gotta go to the left and behind and you'll see a projected image of the name on the wall, hard to miss. We were greeted by a tall male hostess who gave us a great seat by the window with loads of candles ( my fav ) We of course got the cheese fondue and Chinese fondue because that's the way to go. Unfortunately the cheese fondue wasn't very good, tasted like an iga store bought one. We got traditional so if I were to come back I would skip the cheese entirely or try something else that didn't taste so generic. It is BYOW so I wasn't expecting the cheese to be grade a like in Paris. Chinese fondue was great, we went with the marinated pork and beef slices. Pork takes a while to cook so that's a bit annoying but the beef cooked within seconds. If you're feeling more adventurous you can get all the fun meats, kangaroo, camel and etc. We didn't talk and appetizers as nothing really jumped out at us. But we decided that dessert to go was a must. We chose the cheese cake which was a really good home made cream cheese, with a crumble crust which was perfect. The restaurant and service was great but at the end their was a mix up with the tip so they emailed us right away because the tip was more then our meal. That was very nice of them and just for that reason only they get 4 stars. 5 stars if they get a real cheese fondue :)

    I enjoyed this restaurant. The cheese fondue was good but nothing to write home about. The chinese…read morefondue was better - bouillon was tasty and meat portions were reasonable. I liked the duck and beef slices the best. The tartar as an entree was good as well. Service by our waitress Florence was the best part of the meal. It's nice that it is a BYOB.
