Le Tsalè in Châtel-Saint-Denis

Shocked, having a drink with family, after having finished the coffee the waiter cleared us and kindly said to us: "I'm not kicking you out but..." FYI it was only 5 p.m. and the restaurant was still open until evening, so the 2nd glass we went to drink it elsewhere

Nice typical restaurant Welcoming staff

Superb welcome and superb cuisine. Well done ☺️

Swiss chalet atmosphere and perfect fondue of quality dried meat. The quality remains constant over the years in this essential place in the region. Please continue like this

Regional cuisine, fondue, double cream chalet soup...

Magnificent traditional restaurant, the fondue is exceptional!

Veryssss typical, friendly but sad the resort...closed...and few activities due to lack of snow. Yet some lovely snowshoe outings day and night...not so long ago...

Very picturesque restaurant, lovely setting, excellent Friborg specialties, attentive service, parking spaces in front, lovely digestive walks around...

For me, the best fondue in French-speaking Switzerland. I come from Lausanne to eat the fondue.

Very good meal and very generous

The cooked wine tart is really good.

Magnificent experience, super welcoming and attentive staff, impeccable cuisine, top notch and above all no matter the meal time, I recommend...

Fondue of the friends of TPV 2024, always a delight 👌👍👌

Very good and effective service. The food was very good .

Living in Switzerland, I'm lucky to discover many charming restaurants, but this little gem nestled in the mountains is truly exceptional. From the moment you enter, the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the chalet envelops you, offering a taste of the authentic experience that awaits you. The highlight of their menu is undeniably the chalet soup. It is absolutely divine, with a richness (from double cream) of flavors that warms the soul and evokes the comforting image of an evening by the fire. This soup is a magnificent example of traditional Swiss cuisine, combining local ingredients with unparalleled know-how. The service is remarkably friendly and attentive, adding a personal touch. The team is not only welcoming but also very knowledgeable, especially when it comes to local food and wine pairings. The restaurant's ambience is equally impressive, capturing the essence of mountain chalets with rustic decor and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It's the perfect place to feel disconnected from the world while still being warmly welcomed. For anyone residing in Switzerland or visiting, this restaurant is a must for an authentically Swiss dining experience. Between the exquisite soup, exceptional service and mountain chalet ambiance, each visit is a pure pleasure. Looking forward to my next opportunity to go there!

I think it's a shame when we booked they didn't ask us if we wanted to go upstairs. As I have reduced mobility. And the Vacherin fondue was too thick.

Really delicious, one of the best fondues I've ever tried in Switzerland! authentic chalet with pleasant service. Highly recommend! Merci 😊

Very typical cozy wooden chalet perfect when is cold and snowy. Cheese, cheese and cheese....

Very good restaurant, great atmosphere, perfect quality

Best fondue I've eaten... really nothing to say, the service is also TOP! Thank you and above all don't change anything ;)

Very friendly place and typical mountain chalet setting with very warm staff. The fondue was excellent, not forgetting the dessert too places that I warmly recommend

A cozy place with a good fondue, what more could you ask for…

Best cheese fondue in the area !!! A definite must for any tourist ….

Delicious fondue and in the desserts the double cream left us amazed! Helpful, kind and smiling staff.. we will definitely be back

One of the best fondue we have had in Switzerland. A very cozy and family friendly restaurant.

The best half and half fondue we have ever had! To recommend without moderation!

The best place to eat the best "crust" in Switzerland!

Excellent, on all levels. High quality products, a very warm welcome and impeccable service. All for 1 reasonable price given the high quality.

Great atmosphere, great service, impeccable

A unique and typical setting with quality cuisine! The fondues are simply excellent and the Bénichon menu was exceptional. Thank you so much !

Warm place, excellent fondue, very welcoming staff

Magnificent restaurant, super good and homemade food, very friendly waitress. I recommend 👍🏻 The apple pie with double cream is a real killer! 😜

It's a great place, welcoming place and the food is perfect. I found the waiter a little slow in distributing the dishes. But I understand that on a Sunday we have a little less motivation. Otherwise everything was perfect I recommend it to everyone who wants to taste Swiss dishes. Congratulations again to the whole team.

A Magnificent Place Where You Relax After a Week of Work Very recommended Friendships Fab Zavattini 🥊 🥊 🥊

On top I will come back next year

We were very well received. The meal was excellent and plentiful. I recommend the macaroni and cream. A good address!

Incredible Vacherin Fondue! Good and friendly service!

Very pleasant waitress. Good fondue. Terrace well protected from the sun. Parking spaces nearby.

Superb tavilloné chalet with Gruyère cuisine and the friendliest service

Very interesting place furnished with ancient materials. We didn't eat because everything was reserved

Typical local restaurant without reproach with a warm welcome and very good quality cuisine. Staff and managers alike are alert and efficient. To advice

Three fondues for two, it was very good... (not because it's small, but because I eat a lot ((only fondue)))

Excellent, we are never disappointed! I highly recommend

Great value for money We feasted Impeccable service

Restaurant / chalet Switzerland Adorable staff, meals + places and typically Swiss decoration at a fair price. Choice well indicated on the menu card for Vegetarians with a capital V. Plus EVERYTHING is delicious Dogs welcome. An exceptional place, once I leave I only want to go back! P.S.: the coffee still needs improvement 😉

Welcoming and friendly staff. Terrace ok. Just stopped for a drink. We will happily come back

Excellent location and very good value for money

Beautiful place, very well received, friendly staff

Very nice terrace, well shaded. Very good Friborg specialties

Well received, staff at the top and very good ham, the cherries with kirsch are killer.

We love Tsalé for these traditional dishes, full of cheese!🧀

Magnificent cheese fondues and crusts!

I have nothing to complain about the cuisine which is simple, authentic and very tasty, the place is warm and friendly, the service efficient. But I will never go back there because despite the dozen baby chairs and a special children's plate, it is not a place for a family with a young child. I was simply asked that my 20 month old daughter stop screaming because it still bothers the other customers. Knowing that she was not having a fit or howling, but simply cries of joy, of excitement, in short, normal life for a baby of her age...

Terrace well protected from wind and other hazards. Simple and well presented Sunday menu.

I recommend +++ superb welcome, very rustic, warm, cozy restaurant. Fondue wouaaa❤️ and served with potatoes and bread (excellent idea)🥰 very reasonable prices, very nice terrace and very pretty setting

What to say? The best half-and-half fondue I've ever had! Served with bread and small potatoes. Excellent meringues with double cream. Super pretty and warm setting. You feel good there and the waitress is professional and friendly.

Restaurant with a traditional Swiss atmosphere. The Vacherin fondue was delicious, probably the best I have eaten. Above all, keep room for the double cream and meringue, a delight to finish this hearty meal.

Typical restaurant with lots of character, excellent quality products and staff who take great care of customers. Free parking. Remember to book before the end of the week.

A place conducive to great encounters and very warm staff! Left with our wives with a rose in their hand on Mother's Day 💐 To recommend! 🙏🏻

A typical Swiss restaurant, excellent for fondues. I recommend the alpine macaroni.

Superb atmosphere, very warm welcome and very good dishes.

Excellent Vacherin ham and chalet macaroni crust

Truly a great place, we will return from Italy with pleasure

Magnificent place for a delicious fondue, very kind staff, guaranteed chalet atmosphere, children's meal available on the menu too.

Great atmosphere, excellent fondue and top service...!

Very pleasant waiter, professional and attentive to customers, top service and food, a deserved 5 star!

Authentic place. Impeccable service.

Delicious meal after a morning of skiing! Superb terrace!

Very friendly service from reception to the end... and great food and in large quantities... Thank you very much for this great moment...

Very bad experience. Poor service. Food is really good and ambiance is nice.

Excellent service and delicious food We were with family and we had a great time

Horrible service, I agree with the negative comments about the boss. too bad because it spoils the experience in a great authentic setting.

The dishes are good, but lack of salt, the waiting time is rather long even though the establishment is not full. The low volume of the radio is not great. A little higher volume to cut out ambient noise and more regional music would have been friendlier. Fair price.

A typically Swiss place to taste good recipes from our ancestors in a traditional context and a super relaxed atmosphere! Always a pleasure to come here for 20 years already 😊

Very nice place, typical. Excellent fondue and excellent staff. This restaurant is very popular, it is best to book in advance.

The boss does not tolerate any comments. Everything about her is perfect....

Magnificent it was very very good. Thank you we will come back 💪💪⚘️⚘️🥳🥳🥳

Very warm chalet, excellent atmosphere and service. I haven't tasted the fondue, but it looks very good. The crust is well served, ask for it with eggs!

Well received, and very very good food

Very good food, fast service and very friendly staff

Wonderful ! Delicious macaroni and cheese with a cheese crust. Thanks for the doggy bag, excellent. Very friendly and smiling service which is essential to digest... We will come back... very warm atmosphere despite terrible weather.

The best fondue we have ever eaten in our lives! The staff was incredibly friendly, it is by far the best restaurant we have had in the region. We will come back as soon as possible with great pleasure!

No hospitality, at 6:15 p.m. we are greeted with "you must leave the table at 8:00 p.m." plenty of time to have a good time, a hello would be appreciated, that doesn't seem to be the style of the house, the stewardess is rude and unfriendly polite, speaks to people like cattle. I strongly advise against it. Go to Rosaly's 2 minutes away, much warmer.

Idyllic setting, excellent half-and-half fondue and very friendly and warm staff. We will come back without further

Very very disappointed, no welcome, deplorable service, we were served the meat pot, hard pieces, “meat” that we won’t even give to the dogs!! Sad !! An unrecommendable establishment and to be avoided!!

Everything was perfect, from the mulled wine to the half and half fondue, to the double cream meringue, a treat!

Excellent fondue and very friendly service

Very good restaurant, I've been going there since I was little after skiing. The macaroni is amazing, as well as the fondue and meringues for dessert.

Good place to rest after a good walk. Good craft beer and good cheese

Excellent fondues, the best in the region! Impeccable service. 👌🏻

A good traditional Friborg restaurant. A very pleasant welcome and service

If you want to eat excellent cheese dishes in a beautiful setting, don't hesitate to go to Les Paccots to eat at Tsalé.

Very warm welcome and very good meal, I recommend.

We're good there... we feel good there... we eat well... an atmosphere of yesterday and today... what more can I say😊... well that's it. is always so nice and warm☺

Always a good address this Tsalé..

Very good alpine restaurant. High quality traditional cuisine! More than helpful staff, and typically Swiss atmosphere. Pretty mountain chalet.

The menu on the website does not correspond to the menu offered in the room, prices vary. The server we had did not know the menu and the preparation of the dishes was therefore a bit lost. The cheese crust lacks texture, the bread is not soaked and is therefore a little dry. The place is however very pretty and on theme.

Very good local cuisine, welcoming and smiling staff, an excellent time

Beautiful, good, perfect in every way, down to the good humor of the staff

Very beautiful place due to the terroir. To see 😉
