Do you like cheese?
At Chez Crettole you get the best cheese fondue and raclette outside Valais region in Switzerland. You can choose from many different styles and sizes of fondues and raclette cheese is melded at the open fire place – wonderful!
There is no Internet page but another experience from another blogger I like Harrys Ding.

I went to the Bernerhof over lunch. The restaurant is pretty and you feel warmly welcome. My risotto with mushrooms was really good but as soon as my neighbour at the next table got his enormous and ridiculously big Wiener Schnitzel – I knew – I have to come again and try it!
Illhaeusern near Colmar
This summer, I invited my husband for his round birthday to a short trip to Alsace in France.
During the day we visited Colmar which is such a pretty little city and it looks like it has been all painted from a fairy tale book…
Overnight we stayed in a lovely hotel just about 15 minutes from the Auberge, called Hotel de L’illwald. A really nice place and built in the same typical style the houses are in Colmar (timber framing).
But now to the highlight of the evening. The chef Mr Haeberlin ears three stars in the Michelin guide and the family has a long tradition in this house. The venue is embedded in the countryside and the river Ill flows calm and nicely in front of the garden. People told me, normally there are a lot of swans swimming in there, but I guess it was their day off…
We enjoyed the apéro in the garden area, before we were let to our table. We were placed in a very private bay of the restaurant which made it even more romantic.
I think, this time the pictures need to speak about the food as this would be 5 pages or longer. Of course we had the tasting menu with – I really do not remember – about 8 courses that were absolutely amazingly delicious! The staff of course was also very nice and professional.
So, I recommend to go and try once…but beware of the prices 😉

About 1 week ago I was in Real for the first time. I love Spanish food and actually I don’t know, why I have never been there before.
I chose fried octopus as a starter. But already when the plate came, I knew i will never going to finish this huge portion. So I asked for a doggy bag for the rest.
As main I had the “Mistkratzerli” a small poulard made in the oven with a lovely crust accompanied by Spanish potatoes and vegetables.
I also asked for the rest to be packed. I already imagined how I would eat it on Sunday and still enjoy it al lot….stupid thing was just that I forgot to take it with me when we left…
So I definitely will go back and finish my food 😉

Looking for a real good Cordon Bleu? This is the place you should go!
You get the classic in large and extra large and many other styles. The venue itself is – you can call it cozy – but not trendy or chic at all.
