Auberge de l'Onde - St-Saphorin

A nice restaurant in a building with a long history. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and regional. Jérôme is very friendly, open and warm. Unsurprisingly, we received very good wine recommendations from him.

On the positive side, the wine list is incredible and contains almost all our national gems. Most of the dishes are very good. But the cockerel is a bit dry and served without much sauce. The least: presentation is very minimalist. But above all the service is very inconsistent. We had to wait 30 minutes to be served with a drink. Knowing that there were only 2 other tables (of 2 people) occupied is something to be unhappy about, especially on the day of a birthday. The bottle of white arrives 2 minutes after the starters. Then not really time to enjoy until 15 minutes later the main course arrives. Absolutely nothing to enjoy the wines...

This restaurant was introduced on the Labo trekking course, so I stopped by and had a lunch course while trekking. It's the best. They say Switzerland is expensive, but this is an exception. In Korea, even a 100,000 won course wouldn't taste this good. The steak salad was a bit salty, but it was very good because it used fall seasonal ingredients (chestnuts, figs, and sweet pumpkin), and the tiramisu was the best taste of my life! Even though I went alone wearing sportswear, they prepared the food so kindly that I had a happy meal. The best restaurant ever!

From starter to dessert everything was perfect, quality service, a warm welcome in a tasteful setting. We will come back very soon!

The restaurant made some drastic changes and the great ranking was due to previous setup. But be aware that The soul of the restaurant was its star sommelier, best Swiss sommelier in 2015 that created the atmosphere and amazing wine pairing making it worth the trip. This person disappeared and, In my POV, so does the reason to go to this restaurant.
