    We stumbled across Fondü-Hüsli and saw the charming outdoor seating area. There was a fun Christmas…read moretree in the middle and a lot of seating, with fur and blankets. The menu for outside is pretty simple, with four different fondue options (classic, champagne, paprika, and herb flavored) as well as a few salad and drink options. Once we were seated, we were greeted by a friendly waiter named Adam. While the menu was all in German, Adam very patiently explained all of the different dishes on the menu to us. We decided on ordering the champagne fondue and herb fondue, which both serve two people. The food came pretty quickly and was served with bread and potatoes. We ordered the two fondue pots for four people, but in hindsight, it was more than enough. Both fondues were very good; however, I prefer the champagne option as it was slightly less salty. I would still recommend both these options and thought the fondue was excellent. The texture and consistency was very smooth and did not feel too heavy. Overall, I had a great experience here. The one note that I will make about the place is that it was a little on the pricier side, but that is to be expected. I would definitely recommend stopping by this restaurant of you are in Thun for the day.

    High level of Fondue, great location and atmosphere, excellent service. Highly recommended…read more (Fondue only restaurant).

    Through the beauty of Yelp, found this spot & what a fantastic find! Most important note that the…read morelocation is actually Moléson and not Gruyères like the address noted. I have attempted to update this Yelp address but worst case, go to google to see the correct address.....in Moléson Farm animals & rollercoaster landmarks helped to ensure we were in the right spot We parked at the bottom of the gravel road in an empty lot across the street - the road leading to the fromagerie is pedestrian only, so this will be your closest parking. Small incline leads you to deliciousness. There is a small case of cheeses and meats to the left and the restaurant is to the right. Very traditional setup with wooden tables and benches. We loved it from the first minute! We ordered the macaroni with cheese (it was penne but outstandingly scrumptious). The cheeses and caramelized onions were the perfect blend Also enjoyed the croûte with an egg.......this is much like a croque without the meat......it was heaven! As we ere lucky enough to find this lace at the beginning of our stay in the Gruyère district, you better believe we'll be coming back for that fondue!

There are a lot of farm animals at the restaurant for the kids to play with and there is even a roller coaster adjacent to the restaurant that they can ride on. The scenery was just particularly beautiful and it was a beautiful day celebrating with friends. We had cheese fondue bears and lots of fun!

    November 13, 2015 Paris shooting took place as we were having dinner here…read more We missed the unpretentious old Au Vieux Valais. The current owner did brighten up the place. Touristy is not necessarily a dirty word for a tourist region. There are now variations of Fondue on the menu that sound appealing. Croûte au fromage was served only in deluxe (ham, egg and tomatoes) version. It was decent. But Méringue with chocolate, seriously? An example of cultural difference. Waiting list for walk-ins is not a norm here. People take all the time they want to enjoy their food. The check is given only upon request. It is impossible to estimate waiting time for the next seating. A year ago, we came in and were told by a server that no seats available. So we moved on. But the owner ran after us outside and told us to come back in 15 minutes. He really wanted more business. When we were back, there were a few tables to choose. We walked in the other day for lunch. The owner said nothing available. One group (at least) was about to leave. And the kitchen was supposed to be open until 3pm. Strange that the owner didn't offer any other possibilities this time. They have apparently become popular. If you know what you want, a place a few steps away serves traditional dishes that are authentic and reasonably priced. Most restaurants in town don't have Raclette on a daily basis, though. Or you can ask a French speaking person to make a reservation for you. (Online reservation service is not an option yet. A cultural preference. Not due to the availability of technologies.) Foodwise, they are not a bad choice.
