Aparthotel Mountain River Resort

A truly magical location! Built in 1882 by renowned physician Dr Victor Guénebaud, the property combines heirloom features with an outstanding location and boasts what is probably one of the finest terraces in the Valais canton! The interior is the epitome of vintage charm from the lovely old parquet floor and beautifully sculpted coffered ceiling to the retro fabric wallpaper. What’s more, the chef-owner’s French-centric cuisine alone merits a visit: a set three- or five-course menu (depending on the time of day) that is savvily crafted with top-notch, super-fresh, seasonal ingredients.

A stone’s throw from the centre, within the Crochetan theatre precinct, this elegant restaurant sports an airy interior, an open kitchen and a small conservatory. The Italian-born chef conjures up a creative, deftly crafted score that slaloms between regional classics and Mediterranean favourites, but always with seasonal produce. The crisp balanced dishes showcase the occasional inspired imaginative spin, like his wondrous “Risotto of red Sicilian shrimps with blueberry powder and celery”. The talented sommelier is a font of wine knowledge and the shaded terrace is bliss in fine weather.

Duck pâté en croûte with foie gras, calf's head with ravigote, pavlova with bilberries: this tasty and hearty traditional cuisine is served in a family atmosphere and – in summer – on the lovely panoramic terrace, with a view of the Chablais mountains.

In a mountain-inspired decor, the chef serves up good-quality traditional cuisine that often takes meat as its starting point… but does not exclude the odd Asian note (eg gravelax salmon tataki marinated in beetroot, served with mustard sorbet). The dishes are beautifully presented and service comes with a smile. A good place to recharge your batteries after hitting the slopes on your skis!
