Recommendations

"MUST EAT: For traditional Swiss cuisine dine at the quaint Café du Grütli. Sample the traditional dish of cheese fondue."
"This relaxed restaurant has been situated in the middle of the old town since 1849 and serves a a mighty fine mixed cheese fondue."
"Ask to try something authentic to the region and you will be supplied with wonderful cooked meats and cheeses and the best cheese fondue we have ever had."
"For fondue, head for the 150-year-old Café du Grütli, with its wood-panelled walls."
"We visited a lovely small family run restaurant in the heart of the city called Café du Grütli. This is where we experienced the best cheese fondue ever."
"As for the fondue, many rate it as the best in Lausanne, and there’s plenty of competition to keep standards high. Rich and boozy, it’s best teamed with a glass of local Chasselas and a green salad to cut through the cheese."
"Founded in 1849, the specialty of the house is fondue made with Swiss Le Gruyere cheese, Swiss white wine and a touch of garlic and nutmeg. The fondue is delicate, nutty, slightly sweet and it clings to the bread, filling each tiny air pocket with a pool of cheese."
"The Grütli fondue is among the best in the city."
"A blend of two cheeses, and a little alcohol, the dip is fiendishly moreish."
"The other two eateries I’ve mentioned specialise in more modern cuisine, but Café Grutli is where you can shamelessly indulge in cheese fondue (your appetite will have been whet, trust me –I felt like you could smell fondue everywhere in Lausanne!). The owners are really friendly too."
