In a cosy yet industrial atmosphere, nestles the Caf\u00e9 du Gr\u00fctli. Caf\u00e9 du Gr\u00fctli<\/strong><\/a>. Carpets and lanterns warm the space, while the high ceiling and metal staircases symbolize the raw soul of the place. The whole works harmoniously together to create a convivial room bathed in light thanks to the large bay windows. For those who like a bit of height, tables on the upper floor offer a bird’s-eye view of the rest of the establishment. A warm and attentive welcome makes for a particularly pleasant dining experience. <\/p>\n

Creamy hummus<\/h2>\n

At lunchtime, the menu is deliberately short: two starters, three main courses, one of which is not vegetarian. An assertive and rather pleasing choice. The mixed salad, apparently very classic, quickly reveals a pleasant surprise. Its sesame oil and ginger-based dressing adds an original touch and takes us far away from the Swiss winter. Thin slices of white cabbage, carrot and beet provide a crunchy freshness, while radish adds a hint of spiciness. The mix of toasted seeds completes the dish, adding texture and deliciousness. <\/p>\n

For the main course, the millefeuille of celery, beet and butternut, accompanied by lentil hummus and dill oil, perfectly illustrates the house philosophy. The vegetables are cooked just right: they melt in the mouth, yet retain a pleasant chewiness. Their clean, pure flavors reflect the quality of local, seasonal produce. The delicately creamy hummus adds sweetness and acts as a link between the different elements on the plate. The interplay of temperatures between the warm millefeuille and the cold preparation adds a dynamic touch to the whole. The dill oil, fresh and slightly acidic, subtly awakens the whole. A comforting dish, balanced and full of character. <\/p>\n
