Anything at all on this area? Any budget, any concept, town or country...

I had the chicken dish using the distinctive local white wine "vin jaune". I know another foodie who also was very pleased with this restaurant. The service was a bit hesitant or awkward, but no real problem. Try to keep a straight face when the chef comes out to greet you--he was wearing wild pink glasses the day I was there!

In Malbuisson, Faivre au Bon Accueil runs an excellent restaurant/lovely hotel. Also in Malbuisson, le restaurant du Fromage is a very delicious simple place (guess what they cook). On the mont d'or, there is a mountain farm called La Boissaude. Also, the Swiss three stars are very close (Rochat at Crissier and Rabaey at Brent, I don't recommend the first one).
