au Relait — Restaurant in Gruyères

I have a nice story for you. My family and I, from Costa Rica, went to Gruyères for the first time and we chose the Brasserie du Relais as the place to have dinner. The cuisine of the place is wonderful, I tell it trying to be objective and with the background of having eaten in nice restaurants of Barcelona and France the last week.

I was so amazed by how this man went the extra mile to give us a wonderful touristic experience in Gruyères. If you want to be served by kind and selfless peojple do not hesitate on paying a visit to this place.
