    Wonderful atmosphere & excellent service! The menu for food & cocktails was diverse &…read moreinteresting. The food was delicious. There is a reason this place is highly recommended! We enjoyed the Guacamole toast, Truffle Croque Monsieur & lemon tart. There was lovely live (but not over-loud) music. I will be back!

    Funky Claude's is one of the numerous eating/drinking establishments within the Fairmont Montreux,…read morebut outside of the lobby lounge, it's the main bar that is focused more on providing beverages of the adult variety vs. food. The lounge itself has an external entrance from the street; if you are staying at the hotel, you have to walk through the Jazz Cafe (a little awkward) before reaching the back. There's definitely a huge change in vibe depending on when you are here...on a Friday night, Funky Claude's was hopping, with a live pianist playing all different kinds of tunes (not just jazz), and all of the tables and seats at the bar occupied. On a Sunday night, however, the bar was starkly empty - there were 1 or 2 other people in the bar with us at the same time. Despite this, it felt like the staffing was the same at both times, which meant that while we were decently looked-after on Sunday, it was difficult to get attention for a refill on drinks and to close out our check after getting our initial order in on Friday. As for the menu itself...we only ate one item of food here besides the bar snacks (which were largely nuts-based), as the food otherwise seemed to (generally) resemble what could be found in the Jazz Cafe. What we did have was the creme brulee, and that tasted excellent - the rum was burned to just the right level of crispiness on the surface, infusing a bit of sweetness while maintaining a hint of the kick from the booze. As for the drink selection - the beer selection is light, while I'm sure there is a decent wine selection. Given the scarcity of cocktail bars, though, this was what I focused on drinking here - and on balance, the cocktails were solid (if priced at a level that was even pricey for a New Yorker). The namesake drink is basically a sweeter version of a mojito with a touch of absinthe - very drinkable and fun, although the brown sugar can be a bit much sometimes. My favorite was probably the L'Enfin'delle, which was a competition cocktail (according to the menu) but drank almost like juice - until you had the alcohol hit you a little later. Some folks might think it's too sweet, but I really enjoyed the smoothness and the interplay of the flavors. I did try one of the numerous G&Ts on the menu; it was quite nice as well - the tonic was certainly lighter than what I am used to encountering, while the gin wasn't too overpowering either. It came off as a light, summery take on a standard cocktail - very seasonally appropriate. While the service could be a bit better, and the price is a bit steep (but it's Switzerland - so that's a given), I enjoyed the visits I paid here, and I would definitely stop by again for a late-night visit.

    La Gare Bistro - Sale #1

    La Gare Bistro is a new restaurant for Gex. It is located in an old train station not too far from…read morethe center of town. The exterior is plain and simple with an ample parking lot for the limited seating service inside. The inside has been given a fresh coat of paint and is decorated in a style and colour palette that just screams "manly minimalism". If you are adept in restaurant eating in France, then the first thing you are likely to notice is that it is very spacious inside. This is quite unlike most French restaurants who cram as many tables into the smallest amount of space possible. La Gare is open for lunch and dinner service. I *HIGHLY* recommend that you make a reservation in advance, either as early in the day as possible, if not the day before. This is not a walk-in friendly restaurant. There is limited seating inside and they do only one service at each meal. The chef is a young man and he has created a smart menu. Not too many options, nor too few, and the carte seems to change every few months. Given the changes this seems like a combination of seasonal menu changes with a few extras thrown in to keep it fresh and interesting. The price is spot on for their bistro fair menu, which means for the region it is quite competitive! My husband and I paid 88€ for 2 entrees, 2 plats, wine (a super yummy Bordeaux), and 2 desserts! Expect your meal to be much better than the average French bistro experience. Remember the chef is young and finding his way, so expect a few small errors here and there, but in general a consistently yummy meal at a great price! (Example, risotto slightly undercooked, 2nd cup of pepper sauce for my husbands steak was clearly rushed and was unfortunately too salty).

    A lovely place with nice decor, ambiance and music. My first time there I ordered the entrecote…read morewith fries and the blue cheese sauce. It was tasty. The service was great up until dessert time when we ordered and after close to 30 minutes it never came do we asked for the check and left. The second time I ate here I ordered the asparagus risotto and was super disappointed to get a bowl of rice with barely any asparagus. It's a bistro..not expensive and ok for a meal but I'm not running back there again any time soon.
