Restaurant du Chemin de Fer sur Saint-Cergues

29/04/2026: Very pleasant staff and good food 👍

25/04/2026: We were looking for a highly-rated Savoyard restaurant in the area. We chose La Ferme à Élise, and we weren't disappointed. We shared a traditional raclette with a small salad, something we usually only make at home. The charcuterie platter for two was very generous and made with high-quality products. The cheese was excellent. We couldn't finish our portions. One small drawback: the place is noisy and tries too hard to be rustic (why do Savoyard restaurants have to be so kitschy?). The atmosphere is a bit oppressive, and with the heat from the raclette grill, let's just say it's an experience. It's worth noting that the restaurant offers many other dishes. The waiter removed the rosette sausage and replaced it with dried beef (since we didn't like it), which was very kind of him, especially since it's not the same price, as we know. I still prefer raclette at home, because I can add eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions—basically vegetables—which allows for a variety of flavors, something the restaurant doesn't offer (apart from the salad). It was still very nice, worth trying once, but I still prefer more elaborate cuisine. However, if you're looking for a good raclette at a restaurant, go for it.
