€€€Traditional Cuisine
A sloth of hungry bears would be right at home in the rustic, alpine vibe of this bistro which commands a fantastic view over the valley and the surrounding peaks. The accent is on ambitious French-Mediterranean cuisine that will find favour with discerning omnivores, together with an insightful array of Valais wines. All of which is courtesy of chef Franck Reynaud, who is also at the helm of the Michelin-starred L'Ours. We warrant it will set your tastebuds tingling!

Le Bistrot des Ours in Lens offers traditional cuisine with high ratings. Reviews frequently praise attentive service, pleasant atmosphere, and high food quality, particularly noting seasonal combinations and beautiful presentation. However, some negative feedback highlights issues with value, meal pacing, and temperature control. Specific complaints include fatty meats, lukewarm main courses, and desserts lacking expected flavor intensity.

Ensconced in the prestigious Guarda Golf Hotel & Residences resort, FIVE is the epitome of swish luxury with a matchless view of the Swiss peaks. Levantine cuisine takes the limelight here with mezze to share and a festival of exquisitely crafted oriental flavours in dishes such as crispy borek and grilled aubergines. This banquet ends on a sweet-toothed European finale, illustrated by chocolate tartlet and delicate fruit mousses. The three-course customisable menu is highly recommended. Slick professional service, a refined interior and a wine cellar for connoisseurs make this establishment t

Located in the luxury Aïda Hotel and Spa, this restaurant’s concept is downright intriguing. The set menu is served in courses, each of which is comprised of several small dishes and diners choose either 10 or 15 "tasting portions" to be shared. The ambitious cuisine rolls out a regional score courtesy of a wide range of local ingredients. Established on two floors, the Alpine-inspired interior is both welcoming and stylish thanks to a profusion of reclaimed wood and dressed stone, elegant herringbone parquet flooring and an open fireplace, complemented by high-quality fabrics and splendid sol

Tuck into appetising Franco-Mediterranean cuisine dotted with creative touches, spices and aromatic herbs, courtesy of veteran chef Jacques Bovier. Diners can choose from a range of risottos, a tomato tartlet with serac-laced ice cream; roast seabass, capers and aniseed-spiked crunchy fennel; shredded Appenzell duck leg confit in savory; iced red fruit vacherin. Premium produce, lashings of experience and a delightful, landscaped garden terrace. Be sure to book as early as possible, because it is frequently packed to the seams.

Located in Savièse, La Sitterie is slightly removed from the town center, requiring a 30-minute walk or careful parking planning. The ambiance is elegant and welcoming, with service consistently praised for being warm, attentive, and efficient. Food quality is generally excellent, featuring refined dishes such as duck liver mousse and rabbit terrine, with seasonal menus like 'Découvertes Saisonnières' highly recommended. Wine pairings complement the meals well. While most guests highlight the delicious food and perfect service, a minority noted occasional blandness in main courses or pacing issues. Overall, it offers a memorable gourmet experience suitable for special occasions.
Ideal for diners seeking refined cuisine and excellent service who do not mind a location slightly outside the town center.
€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative
This ‘dinky’ house in Savièse seats fifteen in a warm setting that blends bare stone walls with contemporary lines. Since 2021, Margaux, in the kitchen, and Jeremy, front-of-house, have been conjuring up a five-course seasonal surprise menu that changes monthly. 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. Bang-on flavours and sensible prices. The well-curated wine cellar reveals a soft spot for local wineri
