Restaurant de l'Hotel DuPeyrou
About
Restaurant de l’Hôtel DuPeyrou is a Michelin‑grade gastronomic venue nestled inside the 13th‑century Palais DuPeyrou in Neuchâtel’s historic district. The elegant dining room, a theatre‑style salon, is complemented by a terraced garden that overlooks the palace’s French‑style gardens and black‑topped terrazzo. Signature tasting menus change every first Friday, while the chef’s seasonal tasting offers six‑course explorations paired with selected wines. The restaurant prides itself on using local Canton–Switzerland produce, a curated cheese cellar, and a modest bar. Reservations are recommended, especially during spring, summer and around the New Year, though walk‑ins are occasionally accepted for lunch. The combination of historic architecture, impeccable service and a menu that balances classic and contemporary Swiss cuisine makes DuPeyrou a top destination for foodies, families and couples alike.
