It's a peaceful place to sit down and have most delicious breakfast before you go on exploring...
We had a long day ahead of us, so proper breakfast is always good idea - especially when "proper" here means you also get glass of wine or beer - yes, with your breakfast. Coffee? Nonsense. Order glass of wine.
Since Gruyères is close to border with France, and French is spoken here more than any other languages, food is influenced by French as well. So we have to order crêpes - of course! (I mean, I cannot resist good crêpe, ever)
The crêpe itself is crispy on edges, soft towards center, filled with most delicious creamy swiss chocolate, topped with chocolate shavings - oh, so, sooooo good.
But real star of the show was double cream - local specialty I have no seen anywhere else on my travels. This luxurious, not-too-sweet, rich, buttery, silky, creamy & dreamy treat that is out of this world - and probably best thing you ever tasted. Topped with berries, it is beautiful to look at as well, shiny peaks of goodness.
You gotta try this one - no excuses!
