It’s well known that our region is full of cultural and gastronomic nuggets. With autumn well and truly upon us, we thought we’d find something to invigorate us! Discover our selection of coffee shops where you can enjoy an espresso, a good breakfast or even a brunch, all in pleasant surroundings.
Open Tuesday to Sunday, the tea room is an extension of the Gerber-Wyss bakery. Every day, you can choose from a breakfast menu including a choice of hot beverage, fruit juice, pastry, yoghurt and half a baguette. Le midi, vous retrouverez aussi une carte composée de croque-monsieurs, de quiches et de salades variées.

Café de la Promenade is the timeless, warm place to be. From 10 to 11:30 a.m., you can enjoy a delicious brunch: scrambled eggs, avocado toast or golden crust. And let’s not forget the buckwheat pancakes and variations on sweet crêpes.
