Auberge de la Halle

Amazing!! The Fondue was out of this world goood! The chicken and veal perfectly cooked, the friendly hosts and amazing views definitely worth the visit. It was a bit stuffy and hot inside the restaurant, would really help to open one window at least. But over all the highlight of our journey to Gruyere🫶🏻

Had a lovely lunch at Auberge de la Halle. The food was so delicious and we even got a table with a view even though we hadn't made a reservation...lucky! Our server was so warm and friendly, spoke fluent English, and made useful suggestions that saved us from ordering too much food (eating out in Switzerland is expensive, after all!) and kept checking on us attentively throughout. We also tried fondue for the first time here and enjoyed it. I had saved two places to eat at in Gruyeres and in fact went to the Restaurant des Ramparts first where we had terrible service and walked out (they refused to let us drink our own bottled water there. Ridiculous). Here we were happily served tap water which is free and drinkable in this country! Oh and they also had a superb mini fan which i greatly appreciated on a hot, summer day :) Recommended 👌🏾

After a truly magical day exploring Gruyères village and its magnificent castle, our family decided to cap it off with dinner at Auberge de la Halle, and it was absolutely the best decision we could have made! From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ambience was simply perfect, creating a cozy and authentic Swiss dining experience. Our waitress was incredibly pleasant and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our meal. She expertly guided us through the menu, sharing fascinating insights into the culinary secrets of Swiss traditions, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. The food itself was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was a delectable masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We could tell that the chefs took great pride in their craft, using high-quality ingredients and showcasing the best of Swiss cuisine. It was a truly memorable culinary journey. Auberge de la Halle exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of the delightful ambience, the exceptional service, and the exquisite food made it a 5-star dining experience. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious meal in Gruyères, we highly recommend Auberge de la Halle!

A really lovely place for Swiss dishes! They have a stunning window view, so be sure to reserve in advance if you’d like to dine with the view.

The typical Swiss restaurant! Super nice food, for the cheese fondue or the raclette! The staff is really adorable and very helpful! I would recommend this restaurant in Gruyère!

We thouroughly enjoyed our lunch . The roast beef was excellent, the raclette was superb. Apparently not every restaurant served it this way. Many served it on a plate. This is the best way to eat it, melted cheese on warm potatoes. Would have come back for it again.

First time trying Cheese fondue and it did not dissapoint. One cheese fondue could be shared by two. We also ordered meringue dessert and beers from the Gruyeres region. The lady is very friendly and smiley. Love it here. Highly recommended ☺️

A friendly greeting from the waitress and a comfortable seat on a sunny terrace made for a good start to a fabulous meal. The very tasty fondue combined with the usual selection of bread, potatoes and pickles was filling and the cold meat platter topped it all off! Definitely recommend!

Obviously, this is a bit of a tourist trap, but we have to have fondue in Gruyères! Auberge had the best reviews and was the least busy. Also we had a stunning view of the hillside while we ate! I have to roast an old review of this place by Mike O. Fun fact, melted cheese and bread existed way before it became popular in the states in the 60's... We ate our entire crock of cheese. It was effing delicious. Also enjoyed a bottle of local wine, rounded out by some lovely meringues, cream, and berries. Super cute space with friendly service.

A worthwhile stop in Gruyeres, Switzerland for any cheese lover! Like many of the restaurants in the area, the menu offers cheese and some more cheese. They have many different variations of raclette and fondue. We had the truffle fondue and it was delicious. The setting is really quaint - a traditional wooden paneled interior overlooking the beautiful Swiss countryside. We had a great time!

During the Golden Pass Chocolate train, a visit to Gruyères was one of the stops, where you have about two hours of free time. My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to have lunch, and since we haven't tried genuine Swiss raclette yet, a quick Google search led us to Auberge de la Halle. They have an AYCE raclette, but everyone at the table would need to order this. I don't remember how much it was but I remember it not being worth it since raclette is so heavy, you won't be able to eat boatloads of it anyway. Plus they give you bread, potatoes, and pickles onions and gherkins. So we decided to just do a regular order of the raclette, and then get an entree to share. The raclette was AMAZING. They bring a machine to your table and give you a whole chunk of gruyere cheese. The machine has a tray that swivels, so you can decide how melted you want your cheese. Just be sure to eat it quick once you scrape it because the cheese cools off really quickly. The entree we ordered on the other hand was mediocre. We had the smoked ham and rösti and it just reminded me of cafeteria food for some reason. All of this was too much food, so you're better off just ordering one raclette and getting an appetizer or something. Would definitely recommend Auberge de la Halle but again, just stick to the raclette! (I'm sure the fondue is equally as good too).

Tourist-Swiss food from another era (1960's) served with grace and a great view, but not for me. +++ beautiful outdoor seating on the village square when weather is nice. ++ prices are very low considering tourism here ++ vibrant lively spot with low ceilings and good cheer ++ great spot to drag your weary rug rats (ahem screaming kids) ## not so much for those who don't have kids and just want a quiet lunch +++ THE CHEESE. seriously. I could just have a bowl of it and just dip my spoon (or straw) into it and gorge myself. It's on the menu: "Fondue"!! ## didn't have the champagne listed on the menu, only cava. Not surprised. At half bottle, inne they don't have many takers. ### egg atop crotie is cooked "over-Armageddon". Seriously it's already on it's way to being a fossil. ## vinegary cocktail onions belong in Gibsons and last-minute hors douvres plates, not on Plats (main dishes) I wanted a nice semi-formal lunch but this one is for the tourists. Enjoy.
