Restaurants

La Chaux-de-Fonds is well-supplied with restaurants and cafés. I can personally recommend two places worth visiting:

photoThe Auberge de Mont-Cornu occupies a 17th Century farmhouse on a hill above town, with horses in the neighboring pasture and plenty of room for your dog to run around while you enjoy fondue, Rösti with ham, or other traditional Swiss dishes. You can dine in the chalet year-round or at outdoor tables in the warm months. For reservations, phone +41 (0) 32 968 76 00 (or ask your your hotel concierge to make the call if you don't speak French).

photoIn the city center, Le P'tit Paris deserves high marks for atmosphere and cuisine. The old-fashioned bistro has menus that change according to the season, with prices on the high side of average.
