Le Colonel and the real Swiss Chalet
We have indulged in copious amounts of cheese in a wide variety of formats. It is sooo good. Last night we discovered the Swiss Chalet restaurant and it in no way resembles the chain restaurants of the same name in Canada. I ordered a Croute au Fromage (melted cheese baked in oven in a creuset plate until it gets all crispy around the edges). Marcel ordered a Steak au Fromage (a big hunk of cheese battered and oven baked so it oozes out when put your knife into it). You have to have a stomach of steel around here. Cheese is serious business.
The night before, we had an authentic cheese fondue at La Bergerie du Gruyèrien. We ordered a half-and-half. Basically, half cheese and half more cheese! hahah (Actually, it`s half Vacherin/ half Gruyère). We ended our meal with Kirsch and a desert. OMG, I barely made it home. The Kirsch shot was very generous. My desert, called Le Colonel, consists of Lemon sorbet with Vodka poured over it !! Marcel had a Tarte au vin with Gruyère cream… the stuff is heavier than crème fraiche if you can bellieve it!
We’re not dead yet… good thing we aren’t staying too long!!
