The best restaurants Sion

You'll have to venture into the nooks and crannies of Sion to find L'Enclos de Valère, named after one of the castles that dominate the town. A magnificent spot at the top of Rue des Châteaux. You'd think you were in the South, and in summer the terrace is an oasis of greenery. L'Enclos de Valère is one of the region's best-known restaurants, ideal for romantic dinners. The rustic decor of the dining room perfectly complements the local cuisine and refined dishes on offer. You'll love coming here to enjoy perch fillets or the autumn hunting menu.

Located in the heart of the old town, this historic café-restaurant changed ownership in 2019. In its beautiful room, you can enjoy both the breakfast served from 9 am and the castle brunches, served on weekends from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm (Swiss, French, vegetarian, Northern, seasonal brunch... or custom-made brunch to compose yourself). On the menu, you will find soups, salads, burgers, savoury sandwiches, meat and fish, as well as proposals for children.

In the middle of the vineyards and close to a small lake much appreciated by the locals and summer visitors, this elegant restaurant run by Bernard Ricou offers gastronomic cuisine where the rigour of the selected products, the talent of the chef, the quality of the service and the setting make this place one of the best tables in the region. The cuisine is seasonal, with 6 menus throughout the year highlighting culinary treasures such as black Périgord truffles, morels, asparagus, Breton lobster, wild salmon, game in season, etc.

A nice stopover on the outskirts of the historic city centre. The chefs excel with both sea and land products. Try the mussels or the Hérens beef served in several variations: poached shoulder of beef, tartar, carpaccio, Florentine style, and pavement. The rustic decoration and the subdued lights give this restaurant an old-fashioned atmosphere. It is a good typical address to try all the local and Valaisan flavours and to enjoy the beautiful terrace in summer.
