Ate here twice during my summer holiday in Chatel. First occasion was a meal for five to celebrate my twins' birthday. Good selection of local dishes. Le Berthould was a great dish of melted cheese with salad, potatoes and ham. Good selection of ice cream desserts some with alcohol added. The chocolate liegois was delicious. Added sparklers to the twins' desserts made the evening special. We liked it so much we went back for the final meal of our holiday to sample the fondue bourguinon. The meat was good quality and sauces delicious. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. One guy in particular spoke good English and was really nice to chat to.
We spend a fair amount of time in Châtel both summer and winter and I think this place is great and am bemused by some of the poor reviews. The Genepi does not set out to offer fine dining (try the Vieux Four for that)...but what it does, it does really well. A selection of classic French dishes e.g. Duck foie gras and frogs legs but also delicious burgers and pizzas, really excellent crêpes both savoury and sweet, plus a varying selection of specials. Service is great, really fast and friendly, and English speaking if you need it. As good for a late morning coffee and crêpe as it is for a family meal in the evening.
Of the 4 places I ate dinner in Chatel, this was my favourite - no question!The place was very welcoming (very busy but a table was found) and service was spot-on with staff dashing around. The menu had a great choice, with specialities of the region being what I went for. The tartiflette was fantastic with a generous side salad, but that star was the Berthoud (pot of melted cheesy, wine and garlic, served with charcuterie, potatoes, salad and bread) - this was outstanding.Desserts were fab too! All in all, a great place... will definitely return on my next trip to Chatel.
That's what we had. It was a bit pricey for lunch but we did order a fillet steak. There is English translation on the menu. The waitress was trying to help but just made things more confused. When ordering a beer she said there's Stella or Hoegaarden but there were clearly other choices available on the menu. We had asked for the rib eye steak to start off with but she asked if we knew what it was (something different in French) and explained that it was fatty n we should go for the fillet instead. Otherwise the food was ok.

We went in to have a bite after a long walk in the mountains. The crepes were okay, but nothing special. The filling was good, the pancake not really. Staff was friendly, though, and we had a nice table outside. With a high chair for the little one. When I was paying, a man came in making reservations for dinner, so maybe that's better here.
The sign say Creperie, however we tried to order pancakes at 12 noon lunch time only to be told we don't serve pancakes at lunch. Instead we were told to order off the rather expensive restaurant menu. We decided to leave. I found the staff to be generally rude and very slow. Lots of better options in Chatel.
Ate here a couple of times, selection for the galettes is limited but they are happy to adapt (I'm a veggie so had the complete with tomato instead of ham) and they are nice and tasty, just be nice to see more flavour options. Many of the people here were having Savoir dishes such as raclette.
Overpriced cheap place exploiting its prime location. Rude service. Broken glass and soda’s cups on the floor at am. Just cross the street and avoid this.
