Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very very nice place. Excellent even. Not expensive and very tasty (especially their “Fondue Valais”). Plus the waitress was very nice and friendly. Strongly recommended!"
"Lovely little café/restaurant/crêperie with good things to eat and reasonable prices. Great for families and those with children, or for eating alone. Along the main street in Grimentz, hard to miss, and an easy walk from pretty much anywhere else in the village. Well worth stopping in for a bite to eat and a rest. Good atmosphere and tasty food."
"I’ve eaten here multiple times during my stay in Grimentz. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. highly recommend the tomato fondue"
"Nice place to have traditional apéro (in picture) with white wine. Small square with nicely decorated old style houses around."
"The soup was delicious along with the jambon crepe. We might try something else next time."
"Cozy chalet-type crêperie, with a good variety of crêpes (savoury & sweet), but also loaded rösti and croûtes au fromage (thick slices of bread covered by local cheese and a choice of other toppings, baked in the oven). Very nice waitresses and sensible pricing for Swiss standards. Kid-friendly. We've been eating there for years, it never disappoints."
"What a great find! Doesn’t look like much from the outside… cute and cozy on the inside. Pretty full (especially for off season) and locals there too! Simple, good, home-cooked food… I splurged calories on the apricot tarte (hazelnut base!)… see photo below"
"A very cozy little restaurant on the middle of the old village of Grimentz, where you can enjoy the sound of the water source, the river, and the birds singing around. The specialty is the dishes made with cheese from the region: Croute, Rosti, Fondue, Crepes. Here some recomendations: 1. Entry: Assiette Valaissane (cheese and jams from the region: Valais) 2. Main: Fondue Tomate, Croute Exotique, Crepe Curry-Annanas 3. Dessert: Crepe "Caraboule" / Sorbet Valaissane (apricots) If you are around 16-18h, try the APERO RACLETTE!!! (typical from Switzerland) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!"
