Pinte de Pierre-à-Bot
Restaurant Pinte de Pierre-à-Bot is a small restaurant set on the quiet rolling grasslands and trees of a park. This is one of the most peaceful, calm Restaurants and natural surroundings you can enjoy in or near Neuchâtel, and is excellent for kids. The outdoor seating is a favorite of people who want to sit in the sun, sip a drink or order a meal from the menu, and talk with friends.
A small playground just
a few steps down the hill helps keep young children from being bored.
Chess and checker boards are available for older kids and adults. Just
behind the restaurant is a basketball 'court' though the court itself
is grassy and has a few lumps. Ping pong tables are adjacent to the
basketball court.
The menu includes meat dishes with choice of sauces and fries. The fondue
is good, and is especially a favorite of locals on cold winter nights
when the restaurant's natural wood interior offers a cozy place to eat
and visit with friends for a few hours.
Dress is casual throughout the day, and casual to nice-casual for dinner.
The number of tables is very limited, which adds to its sense of intimacy,
but means you might not find a table for dinner. Call ahead for dinner
reservations.
If you want to rough it, you can bring your own food and eat at one of the picnic tables scattered in the park. A gravel trail up along the trees boarding the park is available for walkers, and park benches are present when you've had enough exercise, and want to meditate on the Alps and Lake Neuchâtel on the distant horizon. The forest also provides inviting, easy trails.
