A friendly family restaurant serving wonderful winter comfort food. We happily caught the tail end of the "Rosti" festival: grated potatoes with toppings from vacherin to lardons, onion and fried eggs. Great food after a day of skiing. The desserts are the highlight with traditional gruyere meringue served with double cream testing even the most gourmand of appetites!

The head chef Serge Chenaux made it to his duty to spoil your sense of taste with his meals while taking you on a culinary journey. Our restaurant serves different gastronomic meals which are inspired by dishes typical for a brasserie. You may enjoy them

Earlier this year I was in Restaurant Schild in Friebourg so for a change my daughter and I tried Le Sauvage but when we walked in it was as if Schild had moved and indeed it had. Same staff, manager and chef. Delighted to report though that the food and service are both still first class. Well wort a visit.

The restaurant is located in an old mansion on Route de Bourguillon near the beginning of the Pont de Zaehringen. There is a lovely terrace with a wonderful view of the city.Beautiful, maybe a little slow, service. Classic dishes made with seasonal products are simply delicious. Many thanks to the chef Pascal Géraudel. My wife and I received real pleasure from his art.Quite an interesting wine list.A wonderful place for dinner at sunset!

The evening we went had a special menu for St Nicholas (Soirée du Père Fouettard), a five course event for 92CHF plus wine. We were sat at the end of a table with 8 others from another party: not ideal but not a problem either.The atmosphere was relaxed and good with a DJ playing music at a volume which is not disruptive at all.The menu was well designed and the food cooked and presented very well. The only flat spot being that the poached egg in the coup was still cool having been pre-cooked earler in the day and not warmed up enough. However the taset was excellent.The wine list is not overwhelming and all wines served are available by the glass. Judging from one example where I know the retail price, the mark up is 2.5 to 3 which is on the low end by Swiss standards.Service was really very good. All look to be students.All in all an excellent eveninng . We will definitely be back.A word to the wise: parking will be a problem if Fri-Son next door is open with a popular event. We had no problem as it had not yet opened when we arrived..

Very well situated in the city this Michelin star restaurant always serve great food, good service done by Denis and other team members, always a nice word from the chef and the business lunch menu is very well served for a reasonable price. Wine list large and also some wines by the glass and the maitre d'hotel will tell you what to take. A must in Fribourg!

LA CÃNE Your fine dining restaurant in the heart of Fribourg. More than 600 wines on the list, smoking lounge, great cocktail bar.
Reviewed By Alwyn42
We went with high expectations. The place is much bigger than we had realised. We had the surprise menu. The presentation was excellent as was the service. The cooking, however, was not very imaginative and two of the courses were almost cold. The wine prices are typical for Switzerland and I admit to disliking paying CHF85 for a bottle I can buy for CHF22. Others have said La Cène is the finest restaurant in Fribourg. I respectfully submit it is nowhere close to being in the same league as Ayer or Trois Tours. I doubt we will be back.

Yesterday was Monday. On Mondays most restaurants about Fribourg are closed, so I had to make do with McDonald's. It wasn't too bad. Today I decided to treat myself, so I made a reservation at the RdHdV which is mentioned favourably in the Michelin red guide and is ranked the second best restaurant in Fribourg by Trip advisor. It started well, I was seated at an excelent table on the lovely balcony and my Campari Soda arrived promptly (though without a lemon). From here everything went downhill. I could analyse the food in length but it would be simply throwing my pearls at the pigs. Sufice it to say that both my plates were simply, plainly and definitely bad. They were crowded with various bad looking and bad tasting stuff. The choice of the stuff on the plate made neither rhyme nor reason. The ingredients were all second rate and the whole assemblage was precooked and warmed before serving, probabely in a microwave oven. Nothing, but nothing, tasted anything but foul. Since they had no half bottles of wine I drank wine by the glass. There was practicely no choice and both wines I had were bad. On my way back I passed the McDonald's where I dined yesterday. Today I payed ten times more, yesterday I enjoyed it ten times more. How is 1:100 for price quality ratio? Never mind, there are and will be bad restaurants, but how can so many people eat such bad food and then attest in writing that it was excelent?

We ate lunch in the garden and what a treat it was. Big tables, well spaced (although the cigar smoke from our neighbours was not great), comfortable chairs. Good service, nice bread selection. Then came the food. Foie gras with black rice - fantastic; giant prawns with ginger - lovely; veal and lobster - luxury; quail with foie gras - sumptuous. Great sharing plate of deserts, coffee and more sweets. Great wine list, inc. half bottles. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but very well worth it. We will return.

Very refreshing to be welcomed by people who are happy to work. Have been visiting a friend in Fribourg and discovered this unique place where food was simply delicious. Had a drink at the lounge located in the balcony before our dinner, the view on the place was superb from upstairs with a very creative barman. Try the fish backed in salt crust!Thank you very much for your review. Looking forward to welcoming you again.
