[Our take](https://larevuedeshotels.com/en/cheval-blanc-bulle-reopen-10-september-2026-michelin-starred-chef#our-take)

The recent history of Le Cheval Blanc is closely linked to that of its former operators, André and Anne-Marie Thürler, who made this essential Bulle establishment a success for several decades. Their retirement left a huge void in the social and gastronomic landscape of Gruyère. It was therefore with a mixture of relief and excitement that regulars welcomed the takeover project, designed to preserve the soul of the venue while breathing in a resolutely contemporary energy.
