FOOD

Chef and owner Pascal Schnyder, also conseilleur gastronomique of the local Chaine des Rotisseurs, has maintained exacting standards after many years in five-star hotels and restaurants all over the world. The salmon is smoked to his own instructions, and grav lax here is superb. Tuna carpaccio with finely sliced apple and fennel salad presents a wonderful combination and comparison of tastes and textures. Pascal’s goose liver appetisers are excellent, either as a terrine or the warm panfried item. For a traditional dish, try veal sweetbread with marinated dates. The menu items are changed regularly, and there will always be something new for the discerning diner. There are also all-inclusive set menus including unlimited wines, which are very popular.
