Great food in a charming restaurant! I've not generally been impressed by Swiss cuisine, but Cafe…read moreGothard is an exception. We went with two versions of the traditional roesti; the Gruerien and the Valaisan, both of which were excellent. The Valasian, with tomatoes and raclette cheese was a bit more plain, but the tomatoes really helped cut the richness of the cheese and buttery potatoes. That said, I preferred the Gruerien since it comes with speck (bacon lardons) and onions, but without the tomatoes to cut it, the richness is strong. The restaurant itself isn't huge, so reservations or eating early are advisable. Service was friendly, but this seems to be a predominately French-speaking town, and only one of the servers spoke english. That said, we didn't have any trouble getting by in pidgin French and a bit of English, so don't let that scare you off. Overall probably the best Swiss food I've had in four different trips to Switzerland, and if you're in the area it is definitely worth visiting!

Some people sat at a table marked "Reserved for [my last name]", the staff should pay attention to not let that happen. They only accept cash.

Terrific fondue restaurant in the heart of old Fribourg…read more We arrived around 745 for dinner thru the winding narrow streets. Located on just the other side of river, the fog had already set in and gave the town an eerie appearance. With the old architecture and stone bridge the only thing missing were some heads on spikes at the bridge (I'm kidding). It really was a beautiful evening. Our large group was led upstairs to the second floor which had been reserved. We were provided some white wine upon entry along with some good bread. The appetizer were plates of smoked meat, along with some gerkins and pickled pearl onions (very good). But the star was the fondue...wow. Some different bread was brought out along with some small cooked white potatoes and a red wine. Then the steaming cauldrons of cheese. My Swiss hosts informed me the fondue was half Gruyere and half Vacherin cheese (a very local cheese) mixed with a bit of white wine. Absolutely outstanding and unlike anything I have had before. After the fondue was a delicious dessert which was a hardened meringue topped with fruit. I am not sophisticated enough to know what the name was but it was very good. Tasted almost like buttered popcorn. Our French speaking Swiss hostesses were exceptionally polite and accommodating and kept wine glasses and bread baskets full. A terrific experience and if I ever make it back to Fribourg I would love to come back here. Additionally I wish I had more time here to explore the old town.
