4.5 based on 169 reviews
This place was a real find! Food was wonderful and the waitress (Betül) was charming. We had a table outside facing the street, so it was fun watching everyone walk by as we waited for the food.

We had a lunch in this restaurant located on the central street in Murten. The food authentical and very good, the service fast and friendly.

Switzerland's A1 doesn't have many service stops, so if you need a place to eat lunch, check out La Couronne in Avenches. It's nicely situated on a square facing a medieval church, and the food is excellently prepared--certainly beyond expectations for an off-road village. Try the veal, the tuna steak, or one of the day's specials. We went back for more on our return to Geneva.
3. Restaurant des Bains

Were it not listed in several gourmet guides including Gault-Millau, I would not have noticed Restaurant des Bains, as it looks rather bland from the outside.
Inside, the dining room tells a different story: nicely decorated, bright, much room between the tables. Advance booking essential - I had lunch on a Friday and it was packed.
I truly appreciated the service team: friendly yet not too familiar, efficient yet unobstrusive.
The food was really enjoyable with nicely présentes and generous portions. I began with the "rosette de cerf" (deer rosette): thinly sliced deer on a bed of figs and papaya salad. An original and tasty starter! The main course was a tribute to the autumn season: diced venison fillet in a rich Noilly-Prat sauce and served with the traditional sides of red cabbage and spaetzli.
As dessert the plum tart proved slightly disappointing: the puff pastry was too thick to my taste and hid the taste of the plums.
Although very good, my lunch remained an expensive treat, even for Swiss standards, as the bill amounted to CHF108.

Arrived for lunch at 13:16 hrs.....restaurant was fairly busy.....but lots of spare tables. Refused to serve us, telling us we were too late for lunch and the kitchen had closed??!!! How unbelievably inhospitable and unwelcoming, as we had made a special journey to Murten to try their cooking.

Il a été ouvert au début du mois d'avril. Nous y avons mangé des filets de perches excellents et des crevettes Atahualpa délicieuses, une sauce d'amérique du Sud, un régal.

When you find yourself hungry after swimming at Camping - Port Plage and want fast food? Visit this restaurant. Cool ambiance and fast service. Served a variety of Swiss fast food. Salad buffet was fresh but the choices were very limited.

The cold Roast-beet with fried potatoes (Bratkartoffeln) and tartare sauce was simply said great - the meat was great, the potatoes were great, the service was great, and the outside Seating as well as atmosphere too ... what an amazingly great place.
7. Restaurant du Jura

Reviewed By Christian L - Zurich, Switzerland
Having recently visited the Restaurant du Jura, my first impression was that it seems like an institution. The large garden, which is tastefully covered with sun sails, is full with families enjoying a Sunday lunch.
The restaurant specializes in local fish - there are a few dishes with three types of different fish. I had the trout with chanterelles - unusual combination, but delicious.
Their selection of local wines (Chasselas) is also nice and shows off the best of what canton Vaud has to offer.
The service is quick, friendly and competent.

We headed to Villarepos on a wintery and snowy night of January to celebrate our marriage anniversary. We decided to take the three-course menu, which is really affordable for a restaurant of that level. The meal started with a fantastic apetizer which we acompanied by the local aperitif, it was a scallop carpaccio topped with a tartar of crab flesh. Just perfect, I could have eaten it as a main dish, so I only did regret the quantity... Then, my wife and I explored the two starters, one was a smoked local lakefish (bondelle), on a bed of red beet with a horseradish topping. It was visually stunning, but did not taste so special in our opinion. The other one was a giant tiger prawn in a red curry soup. That one was delicious, surprisingly spicy for a restaurant of this kind, but did not give the impression that any special technique allowed the chef to prepare it. In other words, I am not sure that it would not be just as good if I cooked it at home.
For the main dish, there was a kind of "boeuf braisé" served in thin slices on a bed of mixed beet purée with a few vegetables. It was certainly not bad, but it looked like a well-dressed cantine dish and indeed tasted like a really well-prepared cantine dish. I wondered a bit why they took the risk to cook such a basic dish, since you have to really find a well out of the ordinary recipe to make it any special. Maybe they want to keep the menu price low and compromise on the main dish costs? Anyway, more satisfying was rather the half-bottle of Château l'Angludet 2009 (Margaux), albeit a little young.
The dessert did disapppoint a little, too. It was sort of flat chocolate cake with a fruit ice-cream and some honey and a "caramel tuile". Quite good, but not really surprising either. We finished by a tea which came accompanied by nice little "mignardises".
All in all, the price-quality ratio of the menu was really good, but the succession of the dishes was a bit anti-climactic. If you are ready to invest a little more, I would suggest to order à la carte, instead.
9. Auberge Des Clefs

Reviewed By Kathleen M - Fribourg, Switzerland
We've been eating here off and on for at least 10 years and what started out as a good restaurant is just getting better and better. Eating in the ground floor bistro has become as memorable as meals in the gourmet dining area on the first floor. Opting for the CHF 75, three-course menu (plus palate-clearing pink grapefruit sorbet between fish and meat courses) we had a magnificent meal. A first course of turbot served on a bed of absinthe-flavoured fennel and topped with a delicate layer of crispy-crunchy roesti potatoes; a main course of sublime juicy, flavourful filet of beef teamed with diced truffles from the region and vegetables (the beetroot with raspberry vinegar and raspberries being particularly noteworthy) and a trio of desserts, each of them delectable. Local Vully wines are well represented in a wine list that also ventures as far afield as Russia's Black Sea coast and the New World. The service in the informal and friendly bistro is impeccable.
