La Plage — Restaurant in Crans-Montana

REVIEW LA PLAGE

If you are looking for a delicious dinner in a quiet and rustic chalet, La Plage is the place for you. Nestled in between the border of a wooded area and the lake(Le lac de Moubra), this little very quaint dining room reminds you that you are in the Swiss Alps.

We were kindly seated indoors by Simonnet Musto after checking our passes sanitaires. He brought us a nice glass of white wine as an “apero” followed by an original “amuse-bouche” which consisted of one lightly fried perch filet served in a shot glass.

Maybe we were just unlucky. Or maybe there are no nice places around and they have customers due to lake location, but I felt really disappointed.

I would definitely suggest to stay away from...

Very enjoyable lunch in a wonderful location. After all the years we've been coming to Lac Moubra it never disappoints. Salmon poke bowl was extremely tasty and filling.
