Mo

The MO is a concept of grill restaurant based on the cow, a theme you can find in the logo, the decoration but also in the plate : pure Swiss beef declined into tartares, burgers and grilled meet such as T-Bone steaks or beef filet !

Reviewed By esalagean

At this restaurant it’s all about meat dishes (there are veggie options too), juicy burgers with local cheeses etc are the speciality There is a pleasant terrace, but don’t expect a fantastic view though.And finally the welcoming, easy going and accommodating staff make this place truly likable.Will go back

Fleur de Lys

Reviewed By SwizerlandRoisindubh

When entering for lunch (around 1PM) the place was jam-packed; and now I understand why. A true authentic Italian experience. Food selection is very wide, staff is super sympathetic. Food quality and price are both top. When feeling like pasta or pizza, you won’t be disappointed.

Restaurant La Bonne Franquette.ch

Reviewed By jjalok

When we were invited we did not thought much about eating at a tennis club but once inside the mood and reception was already first class with nice tables. The host and the staff were extremely service orientated and helpfull. The food was of very good quality and also the choise of wine sufficient and they had some very good suggestions. My wife and me had the sole muniere and we expected this to be the same as we normally eat in Holland where they have daily fresh fish but we forgot that Switzerland is far from any sea. We noticed that is has been frozen which does not add to the taste. It was nice but not superb. We should have chosen the river fish or the meat dishes our other companians took and which tasted very good indeed. However we never regretted to come down there and we could only wish that tennis clubs in Holland should serve the same dishes as here. So we recommend this restaurant. They also have outside seatings but as it was raining we were unable to eat outside.Bonsoir JLHolland...Tout d'abord merci d'avoir pris de votre temps pour donner votre avis sur le restaurant La Bonne Franquette.Merci pour vos commentaires, ils nous font toujours avancer...Notre carte estivale est arrivée, vous pourrez, dès votre prochaine visite dans notre région passer un bon moment sur la terrasse verdoyante. Je vous souhaite tout de bon pour le futur.Salutations Fabrice.

Restaurant Le Jura

Reviewed By jarchcun

The Jura opened in 1862 and serves a range of good local food including perch from the lake and fondue as well as light modern salads. The décor is dark wood and attractive posters of long-ago events. Service is good and quick. Located in a quiet side street near Neuchâtel's busy Place de Pury and a short walk from the lake.

Great spot, courteous waiter. Our fondu was delicious as well as the muscles . Main courses were very good with generous portions. We had localwines and beer suggested by our waiter and his choices were excellent. We went early but the place was packed by 7 pm so you may want to reserve. I would return when visiting neuchatel again. Nice to read those words on our restaurant. thanks a lot for taking this time to share your experience. Best,

Restaurant Le Bureau

Reviewed By AmateurAnthroplogist

Upon first walking into Le Bureau you wonder if you have entered the wrong place. The ambiance and decor are underwhelming; plastic chairs, white clapboard walls and lighting that is too bright. We were greeting by the owner Jean Martin and immediately realized that we had made no mistake. In a country where service is generally reserved and quite often surly or non-existent Jean Martin’s understated, warm and welcoming approach stands out. The small menu features seasonal fresh items changed monthly, 5 appetizers, 5 mains and 5 desserts. The food preparation, quality and creativity were top notch. To start we enjoyed fois gras with a rhubarb compote and shrimp and avocado salad, our main dish was a chicken dish with a deliciously subtle wasabi sauce. Dessert was a homemade rhubarb ice cream parfait. A wide selection of wines by the glass were reasonable priced, as was the meal. Overall, a very satisfying dining experience.

La Maison du Prussien

Reviewed By tzvetanm

The place is famous for its great cuisine, but they propose also few very pleasant rooms. In the restaurant you can choose "à la carte" or take one of their 7 or 9 plates menus. The real bargain is their "Bistro" formulae - fine dining for very, very reasonable price. If you are looking for inventive, perfectly presented and very tasty food this is the right place.

La Collegiale

Reviewed By Shch25

Small, cozy restaurant with a huge selection of steak tartare. There are other food options available, but it’s limited. Came here twice and both times I ordered something other than tartare and both times the food was good, but not amazing - a creamy pasta dish the first time and a burger the second time. Wish the burger would’ve been cooked a little less than well-done, but the flavors were good. Service was good as well.

Buffet du Funiculaire

The Buffet du Funiculaire is an establishment frequented by a faithful and cosmopolitan clientele. The restaurant have a very nice and warm dining room, a coffee shop as well as probably the most beautiful natural terrace of town!
