Buvette Au Creux Du Feu

after a morning at the cheese factory gruyere we wanted an authentic fondue, not the great tourist site that the factory offers. a fast TripAdvisor search found this small place high on a hill full of native and very authentic. the. all consists of a chalet, which is divided into a main area with a glowing open fire, a separate space and a small upper floor. it seems to be family-run, and against the end of our meal all the workers started their own lunch on the table next to us. the fondue itself was delicious, but warned, they only take cash!

this restaurant is definitiw away from the beaten path. the first attempt that we were not far enough on the road. the second attempt was successful. prepare for the 2 lanes to turn into a 3/4 lane, and this is where they find the booque...au creux du feu. we wanted to try something else, so we both had the croute au fromage avec jambon, or brot with ham and cheese. my man had added an egg to his. that's not a ham and cheese sandwich. it is brot immersed in white wine and then placed in a dish with ham top. the whole thing is crushed and boiled with cheese until the fee is golden and gooey. we also have a dried beef and a poisoning plate. there was no hurry and the meal was fantastic.

only outside broc but good of the beaten track. website has GPS coordinates. in the interior the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. the area is divided into three separate parts: the main part has an open fire in a corner. behind the theke. is a small back space and a fairly steep ladder are tables for about 20 people. the menu is classic alpages: soupe du chalet, cornets (like macaroni), smoked ham hot or cold, choucroute, a lot of dried sausages, cheese fondue and cold plates with viande sechée, sausages, cheese and cornichons. the wine list is simple and local and cheap. the service is friendly and quite fast. we enjoy it and recommend it to anyone who simply uncomplicated farewell.
