Chalet de Gruyères — Restaurant in Gruyères

The Château de Gruyères Restaurant is an absolute gem, and it deserves every one of its 5 stars!

Had fondue lunch here when in Gruyere. Perfect atmosphere at the edge of a historic town. The building is a lovely old stone building that adds to the atmosphere. The service was very good. Typical Swiss service style, so be ready for not alot of attention or follow-up. More functional than pleasant. The food was good, but some of the descriptions on the menu were inaccurate. We ordered charcuterie and had the ham placed on a dish with some vegetables. Not what we wanted, but we ate the ham. The fondue was rich and creamy. It is served with potatoes for dipping. We also used the bread. Truly enjoyed it. We shared a couple deserts, the one that had too much liquor in it. Probably would not order desert again. Everything was just right for our lunch and it was an amazing experience. Another "American" observation: the bathrooms are downstairs, down a winding stone staircase with no railing.

Le Chalet de Gruyères is much more than a restaurant, it's an authentic experience in the heart of Gruyères village. Swiss chalet architecture adds a charming touch, with a two-storey restaurant. The renovated old barn upstairs offers a cosy atmosphere with period tools, while downstairs, the 'Bistro' offers beautiful wooden tables. Despite the crowds, the welcome is impeccable. It is advisable to book in advance to guarantee your place. The specialities, in particular the "Moitié moitié" (fondue with half Swiss Gruyère and half Vacherin Fribourgeois), are a real delight. The classic 100% Gruyère fondue is also a must. For the hungrier eaters, the dried meat punnets are an excellent accompaniment. And let's not forget, for dessert, the famous Gruyère meringues with double cream, a real treat for the taste buds! I highly recommend this establishment. Many thanks to the charming team for this memorable experience. See you soon! Yours...
