"I have not been a fan of this restaurant for many years as despite it being one of the best located - right on the shore of Lake Neuchatel with superb views over the lake to the Alps in the distance - I have been unimpressed with average food and service on quite a few previous visits. I was therefore worried when my wife booked for guests visiting us from the UK and ourselves to have dinner at the restaurant on Saturday night. I was therefore very pleasantly surprised at how much better the food and service turned out to be. I think it may have much to do with a smaller more focussed menu than I recall. The local Mozzarella di bufala de Travers starter was excellent. Many in the party selected one of the steak options for their main course; I selected the filets de perches. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Good selection of very local wines; we had a couple of bottles of Oeil-de-Perdrix, one each of Gerber and Rossel, and an excellent cask matured Pinot Noir Clos de la Perrière from Saint-Sébaste, Saint-Blaise. Always phone ahead to book to ensure you get a table at the front with the lake view; or outdoors on the wooden decking terrace if the weather is good."

Nice place to stay, right next to the lake. Food is good and the staff is friendly. A bit pricy but still worth the stop

Very nice carte with original meals proposed. The St-Jacques were delicious. And excellent desserts too. Just a side note, the starter proposed with watermelon is not a starter.

Nice place to eat in front of the water. Kind of modern place with a large patio, the restaurant is quiet and propose good food with a nice presentation. Staff is friendly but during rush time, service is really really slow ...

We went lunching there on one of the hottest days of the year. However, sitting in the patio opening to the Lake Neuchatel was marvellous: boats entering and quitting the harbour, waves on the lake and remote mountains. Excellent food with freshwater fish and delicious...dessert. Fruity and light local red wine (pinot noir). Very friendly staff. We shall definitely return.

The place in front of the harbor is enchanting and particularly enjoyable in the hot season (some mosquitoes but very few). The menu is diverse and quite creative. Local specialties are the tartarre: you can have one specific or a mix and they always prove...a good choice but there is also a good range of pasta, veg and meat. Interesting list of wines and good service and advice. View menu

Went for a late lunch. Service was great but lunch offerings were limited as the kitchen was about to close when we arrived.Beautiful views of distant mountains as restaurant is right on the lakefront. We had two small children with us and were delighted to find a small playground with a mini car racetrack next to the restaurant. The children are 5 and 7 and had a wonderful time.

this is an upscale restaurant at the northeast of the lake next to a marina. nearby there are limited parking spaces. there are two seats in the open; a more relaxed and the other somewhat more formal. the tablesets had printed the menu. they had to download the weeping list. we really don't like it! please bring back traditional menus. the service was fast on this busy Sunday evening; our waiter was ok but never asked if we were satisfied with our eating. four of our group ordered steaks; those who ordered medium rare, got medium, but were satisfied, but the two who ordered medium were well made, and noticed that eating the meat was akin to chew on a shoe soul. they decided not to complain...
