"A quintessential Gruyères address, this cosy wooden chalet strung with cow bells and flowers has all-day fodder (raclette)."

"The chalet is the place to go in Gruyeres to enjoy its raclette, or all its other local delicacies."

"But since Gruyères is home to Switzerland’s first luxury product, Gruyère cheese, opt for heavy stuff like gooey raclette served with boiled potatoes."

"One part Le Gruyère AOP and one part Vacherin along with some white wine mixed in is how they do fondue at Le Chalet. And that was fine by me during my filling and homely dinner there!"

"First stop: La Maison du Gruyère to watch the masters at work, followed by raclette at Le Chalet de Gruyères."

"I recommend lunch at a little place called Le Chalet de Gruyères for the Swiss delicacy raclette."

"And then, RACLETTE, served with gherkins, potatoes and fresh bread. First comes the plate that slowly becomes hot, then the stove, and then the cheese that slowly starts to melt. Everything here has the scent of slow, but at the same time you find it hard to eat calmly, that melted cheese is really too good."

"For dessert, how could we miss the other specialty of the region - Meringue with cream. In fact, we loved it so much that we ordered a second helping."
"Their meringue is our breath, which along with the thick cream of Gruyère is a combination of the gods."
"I don’t mean to take sides, but I will be honest and say that this was my favorite fondue yet. It was much softer in taste, with a less pronounced flavor of alcohol, and still irresistibly creamy – as most fondues tend to be."
