Read moreI went to Switzerland recently for some walking and also to visit friends and sadly the weather was a bit rainy so we deeded to go exploring to find a Michelin Guide restaurant||and we ended up at Restaurant St. Christophe in Bex. What a nice surprise that was - super atmospheric with a huge log burring fireplace set on two levels with cozy tables and nooks and crannies to eat in - so it's rather private which is nice. The service was efficient and understated and the food arrived promptly and was mouth watering. Both of my friends had venison that was cooked to perfection - there was wild boar and rabbit as well on the menu - I was on a diet unfortunately so had some fish and it was really well prepared. Starters and puddings to die for and an extensive and quite interesting wine list. The owner was a smiley and polite person who welcomed us and said goodbye - a most enjoyable lunch I must say!...
