They bring the cheese out and a grill were the cheese is warmed. The cheese comes with potatoes, bread, pickles and pearl onions. It is a pretty big portion.

Small incline leads you to deliciousness. There is a small case of cheeses and meats to the left and the restaurant is to the right. Very traditional setup with wooden tables and benches. We loved it from the first minute! We ordered the macaroni with cheese (it was penne but outstandingly scrumptious). The cheeses and caramelized onions were the perfect blend Also enjoyed the croûte with an egg.......this is much like a croque without the meat......it was heaven!

Also enjoyed a bottle of local wine, rounded out by some lovely meringues, cream, and berries. Super cute space with friendly service.

We didn't have a reservation (mid-September) but the host was beyond kind on sneaking us in. A little table in the back was perfect for us and I'm eternally grateful for her kindness. This restaurant feels like a home and they treat you like family. We felt very comfortable and eagerly perused the menu. This is a more new-Swiss style offering and we had to be selective in our choice - we both went with the steak (one big, one small). Being used to American steakhouses my wife was less than impressed. However, I found my 300g steal to be wonderfully cooked, tasty (not busting with flavor as it wasn't seasoned with anything), and filling! The portion was HUGE and I could barely finish it! It fit the bill after a long day of hiking though! Leaving absolutely content with the whole experience I can confidently say that Bären was my favorite meal in Wegen... dare I say all of Switzerland! Oh! Make sure you hit the bathroom as they have some historical pictures on the wall of the region and snowfall, really cool.

As we were in Gruyères, what we needed to find was a place that served Meringues with double cream…read morebecause 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.

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.
