6/10The kitchen was extremely slow. We arrived 15 minutes early and were greeted and advised we could sit but they had to focus on customers with earlier reservations. No problem, we understood. Then it took hour for our food to be served. Both dishes we ordered were cold appetizers, so the delay was strange.

10/10It was a long walk uphill to get to the restaurant but totally worth it! The waiter was delightful - offered good suggestions and was very personable. One of our best evenings on Switzerland - great local wines and the meal was delicious!

10/10We were searching for a small, authentic swiss dining experience that was outside the usual 'mainstream' experience. We found it, and it was an easy 5 minute stroll through cobbled streets to get there. Real food. A small menu (which is always promising) in a small & intimate space. Citizens of the USA should avoid this place because there are no burgers, no ketchup and no coca cola. If you are up for a real, family run restaurant experience in Montreux try and get a booking at this place

I loved this small restaurant in old town Montreux! The food was delicious with excellent service. The menu selection had a good selection of varied items that could be shared family style and the prepared foods were nicely done with great flavors. The environment was vibrant and inviting with a nice wine selection. This is a quaint small restaurant with not a lot seating so make sure to have a reservation prior.

10/10We have been here twice during a five day stay in Montreux. Contemplating returning. It’s a 15 min. walk from the train station, slightly uphill but not rigorous. Today my husband had the lunch special of the day which was a green salad with avocado, fresh fries, and roast beef with bread & garlic sauce. I had goulash. Lovely family-run establishment and a great value.

10/10This little restaurant is out of the way in a quiet area. There seemed to be a few regulars which always is a good sign. We had a set menu of a salad followed by beef fondue with fries and side dips. Absolutely yummy and such a fun way to eat. On seeing another table have a delicious ice cream with cherry and kirsch, that was definitely how we would finish our meal! The atmosphere was buzzing! The staff could not be more helpful and friendly.

Of course, the food was excellent. However, it’s really the people that work there that made the experience memorable. As a solo traveler, i was eating there alone but the server, which was extremely kind, made sure i didn’t feel lonely and was just very caring. Would 12/10 recommend

10/10We visited this small restaurant in the old town having found it on google. Really friendly welcome, lovely casual feel with a sense of local community. We went for cheese fondue which was superb, but other dishes that were served looked excellent and wholesome. Daniel who served us was so helpful and fun. By going we also got to see the old town which was really interesting and less commercial than the main town on the lake. That’s not saying that the lakeside isn’t beautiful. It is stunning.

10/10Our group of 6 was lucky enough to have Zack as our waiter. Very personable young man who took great care of us. We all had the combination dinner of charcuterie, followed by delicious cheese fondue, then meringues with Gruyère double cream. Also nice Chasselas wine and finished with limoncello. Altogether delightful and delicious meal. This place is tiny and tucked away, but worth the effort to find. We made a reservation, suggest others do the same.
