    Stopped here with my boyfriend and his mom for fondue and had such a nice dinner. We had the house…read morewine with it and it was really good. The dried beef was delicious. Very comfortable. Would recommend!

Locals definitely do stop here for a drink, but there is much more. When you walk in to this little establishment, your nose will tell you directly what their speciality is here, stinky Swiss cheese of the hot melted variety - yes fondue. There are 10 different types of fondue to choose from. I was with a group of six friends last night for a friends birthday, and we ordered a trio fondue, a pot divided into 3 sections, enabling you to try three of the 10 fondues made here. We tried the mustard, tomato, and Morilles fondue - all three of which were fantastic. The white wine was served in a carafe, and was good for a house wine. I noticed their list of wines served on their website, all from good local vineyards. The bread was also perfect and not stale. The place is owned by a husband and wife, and they do speak English, and are very friendly. There is a hidden room in the back that is a game room, which is nice. Be sure to bring cash here as they don't take credit cards. Currently they are open on Sunday's from 10-15:00. The website is actually very informative and highlights their current menu: www.cafedunordrolle.ch.

    Yes, the reason to come here is the fondue (and only the fondue). I'm Swiss by origin but have…read morelived abroad for decades. Still, I compare every fondue with how my mom, and her mom, used to make it. The fondue here is good indeed. The server tonight was overly preoccupied with my health - how much/what I eat and drink - a curious passion for someone working in an establishment that serves heart attacks in a pan, but I didn't let that diminish my enjoyment of the unhealthy food. Again, I'm Swiss, lol. Now this may sound strange for a restaurant (and dish) centered around cheese, but the weak spot of my fondue was the bread: too white, too soft and just not the right kind. And since they serve it cut only in thick slices, rather than cubes, if you don't know how to cut/tear and "spear" your morsel of bread, you're bound to lose it in the pot and have to perform all kinds of socially incorrect acts of redemption. Oh, the Swiss..!

    Very cozy spot with a local feel, right in the center of Morges. The menu is typical of the area,…read morewith choices such as steak tartare and hearty meat dishes. We went for the cheese fondue though, and it was excellent. The cheese was smooth and flavorful, with just a hint of liqueur for a little kick. The bread was sliced in large pieces, so you could tear off however much you wanted with each bite. It was a great texture to soak up the cheese. A small complaint is that it took quite a while for our fondue to be served; at other places I've been, we were served in 10 minutes or so. Also I would have liked to have some potatoes on the side, as well as some of the garnishes, such as pickles and onions. Overall though, I would definitely recommend this spot for the cozy atmosphere, good food, and reasonable prices.

    After seeing glowing reviews on numerous sites, I decided to stop by to try some fondue while I was…read morein town. Although the service was fine, the dining experience turned out to be all around pretty lackluster. The restaurant is on the smaller side and felt a bit claustrophobic with the low-rounded ceiling and few windows. The lighting was also really bright, in contrast to other restaurants which use dim/warm lighting for dinner service. I was seated at the corner of a long table and felt a bit pressed against the wall, as the bench on which I sat was fairly thin and there was only about a foot of space between the table and the wall (to my back). I don't know about the other menu items, but the price point was a bit high for fondue. Standard fondue is 24 CHF and fondue with morel mushrooms (morrilles) is a few CHF more. Curious, I decided to try the fondue with morels and paired it with a glass of white wine. The wine was good and the fondue tasted fine, but turns out there were barely any discernible morel crumbs in the fondue, far from being worth the upcharge. On top of that, the portion was very small and the bread was not fresh. I felt like I was caught in a tourist trap. I've dined at some other places in Lausanne that felt more comfortable and had better fondue. I'd probably stick with those next time I'm in town.

    This is the kind of restaurant my dad would go to in Switzerland. Old school traditional food…read more The restaurant itself was very cool. Kind of like you are stepping back in time. Great ambiance. Menu limited. We didn't try the fondue because you had to order it for two people, it looked like a lot of cheese and smelled really strong and was expensive (50 bucks for a pot of cheese and some bread), but I guess that is just Switzerland in general, expensive. Service was pretty good, waitress spoke no English. Salad was decent and the cabbage that came with the very chewy meat was good. The meat itself, well, it wasn't so great. Bad cut I'm guessing, I mean the flavor was good but it was so chewy I wound up spitting most of it out. And I really chewed a long time! Glad I went to at least get the experience of old school Switzerland, but would not go back. Ok maybe for a beer and a side of the cabbage! Beer was good!

    Merveilleux! Magnifique! And I don't even speak French!…read more We were directed to this café by a tour guide and through online recommendations. It was one of very few eating establishments near our hotel, so given its popularity and being aware of the need to have reservations for dinner, we decided to try a mid-day lunch. There was nobody eating indoors, so we selected an outside table. The area is mostly shady and has a nice feel, but tables are rather closely spaced, and if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you might not enjoy this. The menu has many classical Swiss dishes, and the place is best known for its outstanding fondue. We ordered this to share. A carafe of water, our wine, and a basket of not-so-fresh crusty bread (uncubed) came first. Then the fondue (in a cast iron pot), my gazpacho, and my husband's salad arrived. The waiter offered a half portion of salad, which was perfect. My gazpacho was slightly textured, had hints of garlic, onion, and peppers, and came with mini-croutons. It was perfect on that hot afternoon. But the star of our lunch was the amazing fondue, which was thick and flavorful. We did have to cut up the bread for dipping, and it certainly could have been fresher. There were lots of sparrows trying to get their share of it. All in all, this was a great afternoon meal at a reasonable cost (for Switzerland, anyhow). We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

    Do you like cheese? Then this is your place. We made a reservation and we're glad we did because…read morethe place was packed and they were turning people away later in the evening. Since the place is known for fondue, we had to get that and it was really good. I could have just eaten that and been fine but I didn't know that ahead of time and ordered some ravioli, which was very good too. Service was fairly friendly and the food was great, so I give it two thumbs up. I will say the seating is a little tight but they're trying to give as many people as possible the opportunity to eat here so I get it.
