Poster: A snowHead
|
Some friends and I are spending a week in Ovronnaz near Verbier, but heading to Verb for a night. Our friends have treated us to some accommodation and its down to me to find somewhere for us to go and eat out.
Obviously after the obligatory Apres beers in the bar with the opening roof in the centre of town!
I can imagine being Verbier i could end up spending ALOT of money but ideally looking for somewhere with good food and perhaps off the beaten track. Can anyone recommend somewhere thats not going to break the bank but we can be sure to get some good grub!
Thanks!
B.

Haven't been to Verbier for quite a number of years, but the last time we were there, a couple of nights a week downstairs in the Mont Fort Pub, it turned into a restaurant called En Bas. It was one of the best meals I had ever had (although may have been skewed by the ambience of the week, as had a fantastic time). Wasn't that expensive IIRC.
If it's still on the go I would definitely recommend it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I doubt the Mont Fort will have a sliding roof but was definitely the place in town for some cracking après/later drinks at a reasonable price. It was 10 years ago though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@bluestrobe, Sadly En Bas no longer exists, but @ben_turner2102, Pub food is still great, burgers, curries etc in an informal atmosphere and good value. It's not in Farinet, which is the place with the opening roof, but up at the top of the village next to and above the Medran.
Alternatives are Relais des Neiges, directly opposite the Medran, very traditional, but great value good simple cooking, half a chicken and chips 23CHF. Great fondue and rostis too. You may need to book depending on how many of you there are. A bit off the beaten track is Chez Martin, 300M down the road from the Farinet (going down the up road of the one way system - it will make sense when you're there) on the left. Excellent Pizzas and pastas at very good prices. Good pizza in Borsalino, almost opposite The Farinet, head up the hill towards the Church 50m. Fer à Cheval, halfway up to the Pub on the right is also good value, great atmosphere, but you will probably have to book.
There are plenty of places to eat in Verbier that won't break the bank, but as you have guessed there are some where you can spend a lot. You should be fine. Have fun!

@ben_turner2102, The 'Gallows' steak in Aux Vieux Verbier (sp) up near Medran is well worth sampling. You have to book.
Can't remember how much that was but if you avoid their wine wines it should be doable. As much fillet steak as you can eat
