More information on Chesa (La)

A welcome respite for worn-out shoppers, this downtown Swiss-run establishment has a restaurant, cafe and patisserie. The pseudo-Swiss atmosphere includes a coat of arms, oversized cow bells and pictures of the management's homeland. The heavy wood tables are pleasant, but someone certainly forgot the Swiss sense of ergonomics when they designed the hard chairs. The menu offers a good selection of Swiss and international fare at moderate prices. Certainly the best deals are the delicious breakfast buffet and the large salad bar. There is also a fine selection of Swiss pastries and cakes for customers to eat in or take away.
