Its name characterizes this restaurant's splendid view of the Alps, lake and Neuchâtel City. Bordering a 19th century building, it's certainly one of French-speaking Switzerland's most beautiful outdoor cafes. Young chef, Sylvain Paratte, is an old emulator of Georges Wenger and shares his talent. Savour the menu's regional delicacies in this magical place. The service is welcoming and attentive, making your experience even more enjoyable. This exceptional establishment is a real favourite.
