17. May 2012: Restaurant Le Museum

The Planchette (CHF 21.00 – a plate with cold cuts, gherkins and pearl onions) was a good start into the evening. The cold cuts came with bread and were tasty. The meat was good and not too dry so you could eat it just like that and did not need tons of butter with the bread.

The main course, a Fondue Moitié-Moitié (CHF 26.00; with two different kinds of cheese) was very good. The cheese mixture was rich in taste, there was enough bread and you definitely had enough after having the fondue. When I asked for a raw egg to put in the remains of the cheese fondue it was brought to us within a second and nothing was charged in addition.

Finally, as a desert I had 3 scoops of ice cream (CHF 4.00 per scoop) – mango, vanilla and cassis. The ice cream was quite acceptable overall. Nothing outstanding but fine and good.

Overall, the dishes were good – the planchette had good meat, the cheese fondue was very tasty and the ice cream was not bad either. The prices are pretty okay too and also for the beverages what you pay is fair: San Pellegrino (CHF 10.00 for 1L); Rioja Crianza (CHF 37.00; 0,75L), white house wine (CHF 5.20; 1DL).

Also, the interior is very typical Swiss. It is a bit dark inside, the covers look like the typical jam covers you find on your mom’s homemade jam and it just looks very comfortable and it actually is.

The service is very friendly, helpful, smiling, up for a joke and practical. It is not a place where you should expect your glass to be filled by the waitress at all times but it is definitely a very nice environment. So, if you are in Montreux, it is definitely a good idea to go to the Restaurant Le Museum when you are looking for typical Swiss food.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org. Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
