Concept
In the heart of Gruyère, a new team is extending the emblematic spirit of the alpine buvette, “Chez Boudji”.
Under the leadership of master cheesemaker, William Wyssmüller, Les Fondues Wyssmüller® SA is bolstering its activities by investing in this gathering spot, known far and wide for over thirty years now.
Let’s celebrate life!
A story
Better known under the name of its creator – a well-known herdsman and dairyman named “Boudji” – the Gîte d'Avau on the heights of Broc is a must for enjoying deeply convivial moments.
A world of senses
A magical environment, a chalet teeming with wood and an alpine atmosphere, typical smells wafting through the dining room and terrace alike: it’s a place to sit, admire, and enjoy the sweet magic radiating from this place so conducive to getting together and chatting.

Un petit coin d'alpage ou il fait bon faire une halte pour déguster des plats locaux faits maison.

La portion de röstis est généreuse et très bonne, chaque ingrédient supplémentaire est payant tel que oeuf ou fromage. Pensez à réserver car très prisé par les randonneurs et touristes. Le service est lent, vérifiez que la commande soit correcte. Un endroit sympathique après 3h30 de randonnée.

Nous étions venus de Prangins (VD) pour visiter la chocolaterie Cailler à Broc, puis nous avons déjeuné Chez Budji, à quelques minutes en voiture. Nous sommes tombés sous le charme. Cadre superbe au coeur de la Gruyère, excellents plats, cadre intérieur chalet suisse, équipe très accueillante. Nous retournerons pour sûr.

A magical place
After a decade in which couple Alexandra and Yves Jaquet continued what their predecessors had already done with great joy, Les Fondues Wyssmüller® have moved in to “Chez Boudji”, honouring a tradition of hospitality.
Master cheesemaker for over twenty-five years, manufacturer, and then retailer, it is as a passionate man that William Wyssmüller creates and develops a new vision around fondue in Switzerland.
The Les Fondues Wyssmüller® brand creates a gastronomic world around flavours. For a company that has long had the ambition of presenting and sharing its products from pasture to plate, “Chez Boudji” was a natural step. And now that it’s done, the flavour and friendship party can start!
