Here's an attractive 400-year-old building with style. Run by the same family since its creation, the Métairie de Clémesin does everything to make you feel at home. You are warmly received here, and dishes are prepared right under your nose in the kitchen or baker's oven: boletus pastries, wild garlic fondues, and cutlets served with potato pancakes. This restaurant is colourfully decorated in the motif of regional animals. In the summer, the fine outdoor terrace offers a full view of Val-de-Ruz. And to enjoy this region when away, don't forget to take along a few of our home-made products: cheeses, breads and sausages. They are divine!
