Close
to
the
lake
Murten
and
Avenches,
the
Auberge
de
la
Croix
Blanche,
located
in
the
village
of
Villarepos,
welcomes
you.
A
beautiful
renovated
barn
offers
cozy
and
modern
rooms.
The
restaurant
leans
to
a
upper
country
bistro
and
propose
gourmet
classic
brasserie
dishes.
We
were
guests
for
the
New
Years
Eve,
so
we
didn’t
had
the
chance
to
see
the
garden,
which
seems
to
be
a
wonderful
oasis
for
summer
evenings.
The
owners,
Madame
Abächerli,
our
hostess
and
her
husband,
the
chef,
are
absolutely
lovely,
helpful
and
very
warm
people.
We
sat
inside,
started
with
a
glass
of
champagne
and
a
wonderful
first
amuse-bouche
made
of
roe
deer
carpaccio
which
I
personally
loved
🥰,
followed
by
a
hearty
oxtail
on
fluffy
mashed
potatoes
topped
by
a
sprinkle
of
Buddha‘s
hand
(a
bit
of
luck
we
all
deserve
after
2020!).
Another
glass
of
champagne
was
required
with
the
starter,
marinated
Scottish
salmon
with
dots
of
guacamole,
Jogurt,
sweet
mustard,
dill
and
chips
of
sweet
potatoes;
was
excellent
and
well
seasoned.
For
the
main
courses
we
had
a
classic
from
the
Côtés
des
Nuits,
a
Chambolle-Musigny.
The
perfectly
cooked
sea
bass
with
tasty
crispy
skin,
on
a
bed
of
baby
spinach
and
a
lobster
bisque
(I
wished
to
get
a
bowl
of
it,
just
for
myself
❤️
it
was
delicious)
and
chips
of
topinambour,
was
my
evening
highlight,
as
it
combines
so
many
ingredients
I
absolutely
cherish.
But
let’s
not
neglect
the
main
dish,
a
tender
veal
filet
mignon
with
his
blanchette
accompanied
by
a
mastered
veal
jus,
fingernudel
and
tasty
vegetables
(the
creamy
kale,
was
yummie).
We
then
had
a
tasty,
from
the
region
(gruyere,
blue
cheese,
among
others)
cheese
plate,
but
unfortunately
I
don’t
recall
well
the
proper
names
(my
bad,
I
ask
forgiveness
to
the
producers
for
this),
accompanied
by
a
homemade
bread
with
nuts
and
a
pickled
pear.
We
rounded
up
our
dinner
with
a
delightful
dessert,
a
pear
coffee
tartelette
and
rosemary
ice-cream.
It
was
a
great
dining
experience
and
a
well
balanced
meal,
which
we
truly
enjoyed
and
let
us
end
a
turbulent
year
in
the
best
way
possible.
I
recommend
this
restaurant
whole
heartedly
and
we’ll
be
back
for
a
summery
experience.
