Behind the counter, Eliane, a familiar and loyal figure and living memory of the place, is always there to welcome guests. Her energy and humor are a reflection of the house: warm, sincere, without fuss. Here, you&#8217;ll find local regulars as well as the curious in search of generous cuisine.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17330\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17330\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17330\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-1440x1080.jpg\" alt=\"250922 caf\u00e9 des sources img 3581\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3581-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caf\u00e9 des Sources interior \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A velout\u00e9 and a terrine<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autumn comes to the table with a pumpkin cappuccino. Whipped cream prolongs the sweetness of the velout\u00e9, enhanced by roasted seeds. A delicate, comforting starter that elegantly whets the appetite. More rustic, but just as tasty, the pheasant terrine with foie gras heralds the hunting season, reminding us that the cuisine of Le <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedessources.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Caf\u00e9 des Sources<\/strong><\/a> follows the rhythm of the seasons.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next comes one of the house&#8217;s signature dishes: Les Sources beef tartare. Cut with a knife, generously seasoned with a gherkin and caper sauce, it is served with golden fries and toasted bread. A timeless classic, executed with care, which illustrates the philosophy of the menu: bistronomic, reassuring and faithful to the expectations of a neighborhood bistro. Entrec\u00f4te parisienne, hamburger, pike quenelle or veal sweetbreads with morel mushrooms complete a sincere and varied proposal, where there&#8217;s something for everyone.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17331\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17331\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17331\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586.jpg\" alt=\"250922 caf\u00e9 des sources img 3586\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/250922_Cafe-des-Sources_IMG_3586-900x1125.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pumpkin cappuccino at Caf\u00e9 des Sources \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absinthe ice cream<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For dessert, the chocolate fondant is a gourmet highlight.
