Gilles Varone

★★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

A cheerful buzzy vibe reigns in the new restaurant, decked in warm colours and natural materials, of Gilles Varone and his wife, Letizia. Following stints with Anton Mosimann, Gordon Ramsay and Claude Bosi in London, the chef, a local lad, conjures up unfussy dishes made with 100% Swiss produce. His score, as creative as it is spot on, is a consummate blend of delicacy and harmony as he expertly plays with textures. The culinary performance continues with a trolley of perfectly matured cheese… Take a seat near the huge picture windows, or at the counter for a close-up view of the work in the k

Bib Gourmand 2

Mont-Rouge

Bib Gourmand€€€International

The standouts of this alpine chalet-inspired eatery are its warm, stylish atmosphere and its enthusiastic owner chef, who has been hard at work here since 2003. He invites you on a culinary journey, packed with surprises and strewn with forgotten heritage recipes, as he acquaints you with the region’s delicacies: lamb from Val Ferret, veal of the Herens breed, Valais black truffles… Alternatively, head to the small adjoining brasserie and sample its daily specials: poached sole roulade, home-made sauerkraut and champagne-laced beurre blanc… a real treat! Pleasant guestrooms for overnight stays

Bib Gourmand€€Regional Cuisine

In a romantic chalet deep in the countryside, this dinky restaurant has no more than six tables spread over two levels in several cosy dining rooms. In winter, a log burning fire greets you, instantly setting the rustic yet welcoming tone; a small terrace is greatly appreciated come summertime. At the helm are Adrien Lopez (chef) and Clara Laurent (front of house), whose ethos is good, wholesome food made from scratch.

€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

This ‘dinky’ house in Savièse seats fifteen in a warm setting that blends bare stone walls with contemporary lines.

The à la carte lineup demonstrates a delicate culinary signature: a new spin on vitello tonnato; vegetarian ceviche and sweet potato fries; fillet of pork lacquered in sesame seeds with black garlic, girolles, aubergine and kohlrabi.
