La Cheminée is, in my opinion, okay compared to the other options in La Chau’s-de-Fonds. For the price, it is a bit pricier but without additional merit.

The Food: Cassolette de champignons was an excellent start - creamy and filled with umami, however I thought the bread it was paired with lacked structure, considering the bread they serve with the meal is absolutely divine.

Assiette de barbecue was a good way of trying what they have to offer - my favorite was the veal liver. My critique would be the sides - I asked for only vegetables and I felt like there could have been more; my colleagues that had vegetables and pomme frites had substantially more. It would have been nice to have been offered roasted potatoes instead of fried - even more so considering the giant fire pit to cook the meat; imagine potatoes cooking in the meat juices!

The dessert was a disappointment - crème brûlée. The custard was a disaster - an eggy texture and an eggy taste. The burnt sugar on the top was barely there - usually when you hit your spoon on the top you should hear a nice crack. This one was more of a whimper and I couldn’t taste the burnt/caramelized sugar.

The Service: Friendly but at times inattentive - not the best I’ve had and not the worst.

The Atmosphere: There is some charm to the large stone structure and the massive pit where they cook the meat. Our room was private and almost too cozy - a slightly narrower table would be better for the space.

Would I come back, sure, if...

La Cheminee served one of the best steak I've ever had in Switzerland. The restaurant has a very rustic ambience with the woodfired chimney being centrepiece.

We started with some fresh salad and had a platter of beef, roasted vegetables and potatoes as main. The steak was barbecued on a wood fired special chimney. It gives the steak that succulent smoky flavour. The sauce accompanied it was mouth watering. I believe we had a mushroom sauce. For dessert I had a chocolate lava cake which is always a favorite.

Service was beyond excellent. The staff are just so welcoming and friendly. They even offered to take photos of us which is really kind. I would not hesitate to drop by again if I'm...

Une très bonne adresse pour renforcer ses défenses immunitaires ! Je m’explique ; nous avons reçu la sauce et le beurre café de Paris environ 10 minutes avant nos assiettes. Ce qui en soit est pas mal car laisse le temps au beurre de se ramollir tellement il était dure. En attendant j’ai tremper mon doigts plusieurs fois dans la sauce à l’ail des ours (on cherche encore l’ail des ours). La serveuse est venu nous reprendre le tout en disant que ce n’était pas la bonne table et elle le donne deux tables plus loins. Lorsque je l’informe que j’ai déjà goûter la sauce et que les règles d’hygiène ne permettent pas ce geste elle me dit « oups. Bah tant pis ». Par la suite nous avons attendu 25 minutes pour la carte de dessert, ( qu’on attend encore). Lorsque nous demandons la carte la serveuse s’indigne et appelle la cuisine pour nous les faire (alors que nous n’avons pas encore commander). On nous impose presque le café gourmand (qu'on a accepter puisqu’il était déjà en préparation). Quand nous le faisons remarquer la serveuse répète d’un ton désagréable « c’est pas de ma faute, c’est la cuisine! » ce n’est pourtant pas la cuisine qui à oublier de nous apporter les cartes. Au total, 2h30 pour un simple repas. La viande est bonne avec un bon goût de fumer et bien cuite, mais reste extrêmement onéreuse même avec un passeport gourmand. Notre pièce de bœuf était petite, moins de 150gr. Légumes simple, sans assaisonnement. Dessert très décevant,...

Ça faisait plusieurs années que nous n'étions pas allés à La Cheminée, et malgré les bons souvenirs nous sommes restés assez déçus. Bien-sûr la bâtisse est ancienne et le cachet est toujours assez présent, mais il y a de graves fautes de goût et un réel besoin de rénover et rafraîchir l'intérieur. Que ça soit la peinture qui a jauni, les toilettes d'un autre siècle et déco/tableaux qui détonnent. L'accueil est cependant très chaleureux et agréable, bien qu'un peu trop lourd le long de la soirée à force de demander si ça va, si c'est bon ou autre. Nous avons eu de la chance d'avoir un passeport gourmand avec nous car les prix sont très prohibitifs relatif à ce qui est servi. L'entrée était sympa est bien garnie, le plat principal avec son morceau de viande cuit comme demandé, mais nous avons du dicter une recette spéciale pour la sauce (oignon, creme sel et poivre...) afin qu'il n'y ait pas un élément allergène présent dans toutes les sauces... c'est dommage que le cuisinier ait été si désemparé et manquant d'imagination ! Les fromages étaient ok, mais le dessert encore 3/4 dur et congelé ferait office de pompon sur le tout...pour un menu à 95.- on aurait pu s'attendre à bien plus raffiné. On a connu bien mieux dans cet établissement et c'est dommage à notre avis d'avoir de tels prix ou juste compter sur la renommée des décennies passées.
