Café Hotel de La Place ‘chez Francine’

lovely stay at this hotel. We came from Luzern and were very pleasently welcomed at our stay. The room we stayed in wasn‘t really special, but to me, what mattered most was their little restaurant, right next to the rooms. We were greeted by very nice ad professional staff, and although there were a lot of people being served, we got our food timed right. The starter salad hat a very delicious sauce, followed by my main course fish from the geneva river with very thinly sliced potato chips accompanied by sauce. You could really taste the butter in which the fish was fried in! My mother ordered something off their specials which was pig trotters braised with cognac and Madeira (excuse my translation), along with Rösti (see menu). She first was skeptical, but once she took a bite, her skepticism vanished. At last, i ordered their chocolate dessert, made directly by them, just reheated again, for the middle to be runny. And my god, everything was just so delicious! We really weren’t expecting that, given the pretty basic, but still very comfortable room we stayed in. I also didn’t read this hotels reviews and trusted my mother with her decision. We sadly only stayed from saturday to sunday, so we couldn’t only enjoy this food once more, as they’re closed on sundays. Either way, I wan’t to thank the waitresses, who were kind, fast and could also speak some german! I really didn’t know this little place we stayed in had so much history and I honestly would prefer coming again, than staying in or near a big place like in Montreux. Can only recommend.

We had the local specialty with Beef and horse meat. It was DELICIOUS. The meat was tender and naturally sweet. Cooked in butter on a hot plate, the cooking process was sensational: sizzling melody, frangranmatic smell, and umami taste in chill ambiance. Thank you for such wonderful dining experience.

Amazing food, the male waiter was friendly, smiling, efficient and at our service. The Entrecôte is their Signature dish. It comes on a serving dish and the sauce is melting on the tea light fire. We go there regularly when we are in Switzerland. To recommend !

Fantastic place spotlessly clean and smells amazing! The owner was incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service, even giving me a free upgrade. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Plus, there’s a great restaurant on-site with outstanding food! And they also speak great English.

It’s a must visit point after Chaplin museum. We were here about one month ago and still remember excellent food and service. Sergey was very helpful and provided good recommendations so that we were charmed by this place and cuisine. Even the way the dished were served was unusual and creative – meat is given either on hot stone or hotplate and meat just melts in one's mouth (at least Filet de Boeuf). And the atmosphere of the place is very friendly and cozy. After the dinner here we were definitely left with a desire to come here again and try other dishes.

Incredible food, fantastic service - this is the second time I have visited and they continue to over deliver. The entrecôte de boeuf de la maison is beyond incredible!

This hotel is a nightmare!||||I don’t like nothing in this hotel and restaurant.||When we checked in the manager said that we need to pay in check out. But then came to our room at 23:45 (photo of bill attached) when we’re sleeping already. And said that tomorrow they don’t work and we need to pay now. Now I understand that all stuff planned to have fun and drink all night this why they don’t plan to work next day. There is no air conditioner in room so you need to sleep with open window. Stuff was drinking alcohol, singing and listening music very loud at 03:30am till 06:00 all warning about police was ignored. They did’t even clean table after themselves.||||What about restaurant. We reserved table at restaurant at 21:00, when we came stuff told us that they don’t have place for us and we need to wait in line and come back after one hour.||||I’m not recommend to stay here especially with kids. They don’t respect any human rights.

Excellent evening. Both the food and the service were very good. Prices are reason for Switzerland.
