Super kind man/great service. Had an absolutely delicious dessert: meringue, gruyère double cream, and berries. Amazing! 38 CHF for 2 desserts and 2 water bottles. Was cash only

First time having a cheese fondue and it was absolutely delicious. The gentleman who served us could not speak English but we muddled through with our broken French Sat outside and it was such a lovely spot. We loved it thank you

A very cute and small restaurant! The owner is so sweet and kind. He made us great drinks and the fondue was spectacular. He even gave us a little dessert at the end for free! He only speaks French, but this wasnt an issue.

We had an amazing fondue dinner here, and had we stayed for two nights, we definitely would’ve gone back. The owner does it all himself and was absolutely incredible- he really made sure we had the best experience possible from start to end! Good to note that it’s cash only (there may be a sign but as English-only speakers we didn’t realize).
