Le Cervin/La Bergerie

Description:

• Set in a meadow above the twin resorts, this red-shuttered, barnlike restaurant offers two different sections, both simply decorated. The more formal Le Cervin, on the street level, is a well-upholstered maison bourgeoise with lots of emphasis on the nuances of gastronomy. Here the French and Swiss specialties are likely to include salmon steak with fresh mushrooms, tournedos with onions, and salads studded with quail eggs and foie gras. La Bergerie, in the building's basement, features la cuisine valaisanne and platters of raclettes, fondues, grilled steaks, salads, and brochettes. The daily buffet in the brasserie is especially appealing.
