The old «National», renamed «Au Loup Blanc» by its actual owners Claude-Isabelle and Jean-Daniel Oppliger, lines the little square of a village better known for its harsh winters. And yet, Rabelais would never have denied himself this place, where hearty dishes do not go without subtle flavours.

In front of an old majestic fireplace, one can taste free-range chicken au vin, lamb knuckle-joint or a cassolette of pike from the lake of Taillères, or even from Neuchâtel's. The products used by the owner are 100% local, either from the valley of Brévine or from Ponts-de-Martel. These preparations simmer in daubières, those old cast iron stewpots from the time of our grandmothers, perched on long legs and placed above glowing embers. Cheeses, mushrooms or shoot in season, are not forgotten. Wiens are also available with an impressive menu that gives a place of honor to a selection of wines from Neuchâtel. There are several rooms on the first floor suitable for a well-deserved nap, or for a few days stay.
