Les Deux Villes restaurant 大北烤串 in Montreux

We have had a second home in Montreux for 14 years but have only just discovered this wonderful bakery. It is in the Old Town - this means a walk uphill, a car journey (limited parking a short distance away) or Bus 206. It is worth the journey! Beautiful croissants and a baguette that could come from Paris. The baguette has a good crust and that inside that resembles sourdough. Clearly a hand made product. The prices are ridiculously low for Switzerland and the lovely lady behind the counter repaired my paper bag when I inserted the baguette too enthusiastically. Carefully note the days it opens (and that it closes at 1.30) and MAKE THE JOURNEY. You'll be grateful you did.

Delicious cuisine that delights both the eyes and the taste buds. Warm service and atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and we're already looking forward to going back.

The restaurant is located near the lake and can be reached on foot from the train station in about 15 minutes; the casino is in the immediate vicinity. We were warmly welcomed and our wish (which we stated when making our online reservation) for a corner table was fulfilled. As a greeting from the kitchen, a very, very good olive tapenade with bread was served. Afterwards there was a celery soup with croutons, which disappointed us a bit, it wasn't seasoned and didn't taste good. For the main course, my companion ordered a tartare with a vegetable side dish and I ordered a vegan vegetable tagine with celery puree. Both were very good and made us forget about the soup! There are some vegan dishes on the menu, and the wine list offers a relatively large selection. There are some wines in magnum bottles. We were served in an exceptionally friendly and attentive manner and at the end we were invited to the bar for a limoncello!

Very good meal, top service, friendly setting, we also enjoyed tasting an excellent organic and natural Jura red wine. To be tested without moderation 😀!

Friendly boss and good fun! Small quiet corner to sip your drink and have a little pastry. I highly recommend!
