Gourmet products local specialties and wines Montreux

The excellent confectioner from Chexbres has also been based in Montreux since 2005. The members of the Moutarlier family claim to be artisans of taste, and it is easy to understand why when you enter this establishment with its gourmet décor. Its long-length boutique allows you to taste on the spot the very top-of-the-range chocolate specialities among the large choice of truffles: with whisky, rum or even Grand Marnier. In summer, nothing better than buying a home-made pastry or ice cream and tasting it on the quay opposite.

This square was already the site of a market under the Bernese (1536-1798), but it was not until the 19th century that this hall was covered with wood and metal in a fashionable industrial style. It was a gift from Henri Nestlé that made its construction possible, and its plans are the work of a town architect, Henri Chaudet. Its metal structure, reminiscent of that of the Halles de Paris, was made in the foundry where Gustave Eiffel ordered the materials for his famous tower. Today, the place hosts various events every year.

Since 1982, Alfred Trioud welcomes you in his shop where he offers more than 10 kinds of home-made fondues. He produces no less than a ton of fondue per year and supplies all the restaurants in the region! You will find other local delicacies such as meringues, double cream, home-made caramels, more than 300 kinds of cheese by the cup and a selection of wines for perfect combinations. If you only had to choose 3 cheeses, we recommend the Julius, the organic Leysin sheep's cheese and the famous Marsens vacherin.
