The original entrecôte, founded in 1930, Café de Paris was the first to offer the concept of an entrecôte restaurant, 1 menu only steak with sauce and salad! It is here the origin sauce "Café de Paris" butter where it is spread worldwide nowadays. Some people qualify its pricing as "tourist oriented" though, without drinks and sweet CHF 42.50.

Drinks & Nightlife

In front of the train station (opposite side of the flat), there are many drinks and bars open until late in the nights. But this is also a "night life district" and should be ... cautious during the night.
