• Du Cerf★ Michelin Set in the heart of the peaceful village of Sonceboz, this establishment is a culinary landmark in what is known as the Jura Arc and throughout Switzerland. The restaurant’s success is largely due to chef Jean-Marc Soldati, at the helm for many years now. Tradition is a serious business for this alumnus of Crissier, where he worked alongside Fredy Girardet and Philippe Rochat. Three surprise menus unveil a pedigree score, as spot on as it is suave, and drawn mainly from local and French ingredients and from the chef's own kitchen garden. The wine list features a selection of regional, Swiss an13m

Rather than fussy or contrived, everything smacks of crisp, legible regional flavours to the delight of discerning foodies. For example, the appetisers and petits fours use Swiss rice and local honey and the bread is made entirely from flour ground by a local mill. Even the table arts are a nod to the region from a bell jar that pays tribute to Tête de moine cheese to a huge watch case bearing the restaurant’s logo in honour of the local watchmaking tradition.
