de la Tour-de-Gourze - Bourg-en-Lavaux

After the last few hundred meters in 2nd or even 1st gear, magnificent view of Lavaux, Lake Geneva and the Haut-Savoie Alps (unless there is mist like today) Welcoming restaurant, good fondues Always so magical and magnificent service Time goes by and it's still just as magnificent. Fondue always as remarkable as the quality of the welcome

Simple and good dishes. Please note that the basic products used are of the highest quality.

Top fondue not to mention the double cream meringue

Incredibly beautiful view! Of course, people come here for the view, first of all. But the food is also very good. Dishes did not have time to photograph. Believe! At lunchtime (1-3 r.m. the tables are occupied. Better to come a little later. And you'll need sunscreen if you want to go up to the observation deck. Very hot in sunny weather.

La Tour de Gourze is an old communications tower used to connect different parts of the canton of Vaud. It's also a traditional Swiss restaurant, run by the same family since ages, serving you fondues, rösti mit Schinken und Spiegeleier and meringues with double cream for a very modest sum of money. You have a magnificent view of the Alps and Lac Leman from almost 1000m altitude and it's thus also a great place for photoshoots. Just beware that the steep and narrow road leading up to La Tour de Gourze may be difficult to negotiate after a snowfall. Highly recommended, if you avoid week-ends during summer, when the place is overcrowded.
