Cafe De La Source, Frederique Studer

After visiting the stalactite caves nearby, we sat at a table on th terrace and enjoyed a delicious meal with each of us choosing among an array of fish or shellfish dishes and ending up with a highly recommendable café gourmand dessert (coffee accompanied with various little sweet snacks). Prices very reasonable by Swiss standards.

Probably the best address in Vallorbe at the moment. Excellent food and perfectly prepared with a corresponding price tag, but well worth it. Changing the lighting in the restaurant would add a little to the ambience, but no real reason to complain. Very friendly, fast and competant service. If you're a meat-eater, this is the ONLY place to go in the vicinity! Get a whopping piece of steak (beef or horse by choice) on a hot stone to finish up at the table. Went twice and loved it. Make sure to book in advance!

Really nice beef. 300gr —38chf . And an amazing corner for the kids : I definitely recommend it! ....

I had booked a place for my family for mother’s day. When we arrived we were almost immediately seated and had, despite the short-term reservation, a fairly nice place. The service was very pleasant and also the food is definitely worth going there. The wonderful thing of this restaurant is that it can be used as a starting or ending point for a visit of the nearby stalactite caves of Grotte de Vallorbe. After having taken our order the waiter served us a nice small appetiser to our aperitif. Two of us had ordered the classic Tartare which is actually prepared manually and prior to be served the waiter serves you a small sample to see if the tartar is as you would like it. One person had the Croute Morille, a Swiss dish served in a ceramic pan which is baked bread with several ingredients over it (a little bit like a heavy hot breakfast), and in this case served with morels – excellent, for sure. The dessert we had, a moelleux au chocolat, is a warm, inside still liquid, chocolate cake – was of excellent taste as well. Definitely worth a visit, and don’t forget to do the stalactite caves.

In diesem abgelegenen Ort nahe der Grotten von Vallorbe kann man gut essen und wird freundlich bedient.
