Fodor's Review:

Built into a 19th-century fort, this romantic gem anchors the entrance to the 21st-century Riffort Village complex, the waterside terrace offering an enchanting view of the floating bridge and harbor. Switzerland and France are the key influences in the sublime preparations. The signature dish is La Potence—a spike-covered metal ball resembling a medieval weapon. It's brought to your table sizzling hot and covered with bits of sizzling tenderloin and sausage, served with various dipping sauces. (A traditional bit of fun is to stake the cost of the meal on not being the first person to drop a morsel.) The cheese fondue definitely keeps diners coming back. Game lovers can have their fill from the seasonal menu. The chicken in curry sauce with exotic fruit is also divine. No matter what, leave room for the sumptuous Toblerone chocolate mousse.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
