The Rhones Alpes Region of France offers some of the most terrific cuisine in France. The region is known for raclette cheese, trout and tartiflette. Whenever we are lucky enough to visit the region, it’s a must to get in a terrific Savoyard Cheese fondue. We discovered La Ferme de Didi when our original go to restaurant was closed for the evening. We enjoyed a wonderful cheese fondue in an awesome bistro farm table atmosphere worthy of our time and effort.

Restaurant Review: La Ferme de Didi, Grenoble Centre, France

---

Our travels through Grenoble had us craving some savoury Rhones Alpes cuisine. While we had attempted to get into the nearby La Fondue restaurant, we ended up finding it closed on our Saturday evening stop by.

We ended up at La Ferme de Didi right around the corner. We would end up discovering a terrific find in Grenoble, France, which set up the evening for an enjoyable meal.

About La Ferme de Didi Restaurant:

I ended up discovering La Ferme de Didi almost by happen chance. La Ferme de Didi operates three restaurants in the Grenoble area.

La Ferme de Didi operates a restaurant near the Grenoble Gare, a central location in Grenoble Centre, and a location out at Sassenge Castle. Our dining experience would be at the Grenoble Centre location.

La Ferme de Didi offers “old fashioned home cooking” featuring Savoyard culinary specialities from raclette to tartiflette , including fondue. After all, this type of cooking is what brings you to this region of France.

Locating La Ferme de Didi:

We walked over from our accommodation at Novotel Grenoble Centre Hotel on our journey through central Grenoble. La Ferme de Didi Grenoble Centre is conveniently located in central Grenoble.

The restaurant is within walking distance from most major attractions in central Grenoble. With a corner location, the restaurant offers a great location, along with a small patio directly out front.

We turned up without a reservation on a fall Saturday night. We were able to get a table inside at around 8 PM with a short five minute wait. It is a popular spot, so I would recommend getting a reservation in advance.

Inside La Ferme de Didi Restaurant:

La Ferme de Didi offered a traditional farmhouse decor with heaps of farm implements on the wall. There was no mistaking the type of environment that you were in.

The centre of the restaurant offered an island that was set up to represent a farm wagon. Tables were covered in traditional checkerboard table cloths, representing a farm styled dining environment. Even the upper walls contained farm tools, tossed up on a rack above diners heads.

The centre island featured the pay station, which happened to mark a global touch of currencies above the pay station.

La Ferme de Didi offers freshly sourced products. There was a fresh sheet indicating the origin of all the meats and products being offered tonight.

On the Menu:

La Ferme de Didi offered a broad menu of Savoyard specialities. The menu was easily approachable with aperitifs, nibbles, and hamburgers available.

Visitors to La Ferme de Didi are likely coming for the terrific fondues and traditional cooking that include gratin’s, rainbow trout that is popular in this region and freshly roasted chicken. As a visitor to the region, I was absolutely thrilled with the menu.

There was more than enough interesting choices along with a little sense of humour in the menu.

Dinner:

The atmosphere at La Ferme de Didi was louder and on the social side. Our orders were promptly taken by a friendly and casual server.

We started off with a bottle of Elements Terra Bio Côtes du Rhône Red wine.

We had travelled all this way for a great fondue. Tonights order was none other than a Fondue Savoyard served with a small salad. This consisted of freshly cut baguette, delicious cheese and a small green salad.

There wasn’t a lot of real estate left on the bistro styled table. Despite service for two, the portions were very generous and we had more than enough food to fulfil our appetites.

We had one order of charcuterie advertised as being “for the greediest ones” to go along with this, making this an absolutely terrific meal. The cheese was rich but not over the top filling. There is nothing about that cheesy goodness that isn’t wonderful.

After an enjoyable meal, we walked off this thick goodness by a walk back towards the Novotel Grenoble Centre Hotel. It was truly a terrific meal and a great way to spend a Saturday night in Grenoble.  

My Thoughts on La Ferme de Didi in Grenoble:

La Ferme de Didi Restaurant was an excellent discovery on our visit to Grenoble, France.

Despite locating the restaurant completely by chance, we were able to enjoy one of the best dining features of this region. Our Fondue Savoyard was terrific in every sense of what a fondue should be.

If you’re looking for fondue in a casual atmosphere, La Ferme de Didi is highly recommended.
