Le Café Suisse — Restaurant in Bex

Lovely ambiance and greeting at the door. Small restaurant with tables spaced nicely. We ordered the surprise menu and I asked for vegetarian but was asked if I could eat some fish. Every dish became fish, except for the amuse bouche! We first were given some parcels with a saucisse filling... even me. Later when I could get the waiter's attention, I asked if there was a vegetarian option and he took the meat one and swapped it. Like everyone has said portions are small but everything is delicious. The wine tastings did not match the food necessarily and I did not taste any that I would drink again. I received a merlot (tasted very much of alcohol with not much lingering taste) with the fish main course. My husband had to ask for cutlery. Water was agressively poured throughout. The cheese selection was extensive but some harder cheeses were perhaps too hard/old. Desert was nice. Perhaps if we had eaten ala carte, we might have been happier. Also, it was just too much fish for me (who usually doesn't even eat fish), there was no variété. The normal surprise menu had a better variety of fish and meat. The bill was over 600chf for a pleasant if not...

Restaurant is not as nice as in pictures. Decor is with cotton balls which looks like sloppy christmas decoration if you’re sitting on the second floor.

All our group got food poisoning after eating there 🤮

Small restaurant and very expensive for what you get : -waiters clumsy and drop stuff on your table or wine when serving (they should be professional waiters if it’s a Michelin restaurant) -portions are tiny and you leave feeling hungry even after a 3 course meal -no vegetarian options on the menu -some wine pairings didn’t work well with the food -most plates looked good but only 1 out of 4 plates was actually good tasting, but no surprise elements or tastes, it’s very familiar food presented in a nice way and for 50-65fr a plate 😅 -22chf for a tiny plate of 6 tiny pieces of cheese (less than 100g) is quite outrageous

About...

Dinner for 3, Feb 9th 2023. Surprise Menu + wine pairings. Food was tasty, passable but very small portions and in somewhat ugly plates. Vegetarian version lacked variation. Wine pairings and wine in general would get a 1 star. Seriously Le Cafe. Vaud and Valais have better wines than this ! Waiter service was attentive, but very sloppy and not thoughtful. Examples: (a) Wife got full bodied, red wine with fish - this should never have happened (b) had to ask for cutlery twice (c) unused glasses not taken off table - several times (d) water was aggressively poured and spilled (e) . Overall, for the priced paid CHF625 for three it was an ok meal, but wouldn't recommend, would not go again AND cant understand how they have a Michelin...
