Le Bistro in Bagnes

Away from the usual burger, fries and bratwurst places in the ski area, we really got our money's worth here. Lunch (crusty chicken, beef, spinach gnocchi, salads...) was excellent. The waiters are very nice, quick and committed. Great! The red wine tasted excellent and was almost a bargain for the price. Unfortunately, as is often the case, water prices are simply too high. You also feel a bit limited in terms of space here. Complaining at a high level ;) The overall package is consistent. Our recommendation, we will come back.

I tried to go eat, they refused to serve us…. Only two people serving and 16 customers to serve 😡😡😡😡

Such a lovely place with a great food and service. Highly recommend!

A huge and big thank you to Bert De Rycker for his cuisine, everything is perfectly balanced, what a joy to discover the Bistrot de Verbier A real pleasure for the taste buds Also a big thank you to Kevin and his room team for the remarkable and warm welcome they showed I would also like to highlight the really nice setting of the restaurant and the exceptional panorama it offers. This is a wonderful moment that will remain engraved in our memories and our hearts. thank you

Certainly! HWe entered a restaurant without a reservation and noticed there were a few tables available. We were asked to wait. Then, several other groups arrived, also without reservations, and the waiter chose to seat them instead, ultimately asking us to leave. I believe this happened because my French is not as proficient as that of the other customers.

Who wants to wait an hour...portions too small and too expensive. Price performance is not right👎

Outstanding place ans view. Sublime, refined cooking. A place to be 👌

Great food (vegetarian option) and excellent service (rare in Verbier). Amazing view 💯

Fantastic food, great views, kind staff, it’s a nice place to be

Wauw. Food is excellent. Service fantastic. We will definitely return!!

Best cote de boeff i had in years! Great great great. Worth every second waiting on great food and wines!

Perfect serve, high quality food. Highly recommended. Belgian chef. If you like meat, don’t hesitate

Fantastic beef. Best in the region. Have a little wine waiting for the gorgeous food.

We had lunch here on the 4th of March as our last day. We have eaten at numerous restaurants in the alps, some of the best are Le Panoramic, Zum See, La Peau De vache, Chez Vrony, Chez Dany. Le Bistro (old cuckoos nest) was a massive disappointment and this is why... When we arrived we sat down than waited 20 minutes for still and sparking water for the table and at 10 CHF that is not acceptable. Finally recieved a couple of magnums of rose which went down well. I had a salad to start and it was nothing special but dressing was so flavoursome. I had the fish dish as I am celiac and pescatarian so the menu is very limiting. The sea bream was really nice, but not filling enough and they have no carbs on the menu like chips/potatoes to accompany (and I can't eat bread to fill me up considering we ski for 4 hours and had an appetite). 2 people on our table had the corn fed chicken breast which was undercooked (or to our British taste and you have to be very sensitive with chicken) and sent back to the kitchen. I don't think I've dined anywhere when the dish comes back exactly the same way it went in to be examined by the chef who stuck by his cooking style. My mother had the only vegetarian dish and it was awful and tasteless and probably not nutritional at all, tasted like yellow baby food with a smoked finish (see picture). Overall the food was super disappointing and I think the winter menu Le Bistro has is so below average considering the view and location, i'd prefer to spend 20 CHF on the nachos at LUMI and bask in the sun than dine here again. We even sat outside after and had a bottle of red and a bottle of water, nothing was offered off the bill or even a genepi, just coffees on the house. In terms of service our waitress was lovely and accommodating plus had a bit on banter with us, she tried the best she could considering she was also looking after a table of 10 men next to us plus another few tables on her own. She seemed to get no support from her colleagues or a manager. I would eat elsewhere if you've read the above and save your time and money. Sadly the on mountain restaurant offering in Verbier is very average (chez dany and carrefour are better) compared to other resorts like Val D'isere/Zermatt.

6 of us ate at Le Bistrot on 4th March for our last day of skiing and were looking forward to a really lovely lunch. The restaurant was poorly staffed and we felt very sorry for the one waitress who seemed to be serving all the tables, considering this was the case she tried her best. Le Bistro prices are high and as such one would expect a first class experience and amazing food - and a greater ratio of staff to guest. The menu was small and offered a fish, vegetarian and a few meat options however it was overly complicated and other than the beef - which looked good but was horrendously expensive - the dishes were overly fussy and far too rich with no thought of complimentary textures. When we alerted the waitress to the fact that we thought the chicken was slightly under cooked in the middle she took the dish back to the kitchen and then returned the dish to us saying it was fine - I don’t think I have ever eaten anywhere where a returned dish has been bought back to the table - no doubt after the chef had prodded it ! The vegetarian dish of pumpkin resembled baby food and had a horrible over smoked flavour. Again this was pointed out to the waitress but no alternative offered. At the end of the meal we were offered a free coffee which we declined, but the bill remained unchanged despite complaining about 2 of the dishes which were not eaten. Le Bristo did not deliver on so many fronts and they clearly need a head of house to manage the restaurant. The food was disappointing, under cooked (in our opinion) over priced and the most expensive on the mountain and truly the worse. I would spend your money elsewhere. I couldn’t find the restaurant on trip advisor and maybe there is a reason for this.

We had an excellent time, with extremely pleasant, professional and accommodating staff. The setting is superb and the gastronomy is fine and refined.

Service to be greatly improved: we wait, we wait… and nothing comes… the last time, they even forgot our order, and only realized it 40 minutes later… for the rest, we eat pretty well there and the setting is very pleasant. Can do better!

Tremendous ! Very good food, excellent service. Do not miss. And there is room...

We have been loyal customers of Cuckoo’s for over 20 years. The choice of dishes, the warm welcome, the speed and the prices were the main reason. We wanted to try the new restaurant in December 2022 and nothing to say about the quality. Unfortunately the choice is limited and not really suited to the place. Prices too high and service relatively slow for those who want to ski a little longer. The bistro would surely be more successful in full swing. The impression is that for several years Téléverbier has wanted to get its hands on all the restaurants but I think that is a mistake. Passion, warm welcome and friendship are lost and profit comes before everything.

Well done Bert! just wonderful! Generosity, originality and a lot of passion... What a menu and what a chef!

If you pass through Les Attelas (Verbier) on foot or on skis, don’t hesitate to go through the door of the “Bistrot”. In an idyllic setting and behind impeccable service lies a cuisine closer to a Michelin-starred restaurant than to a ski restaurant for excellent value for money. Thanks to Bert de Rycker and his team for this sumptuous moment.

Probably the most upscale and gastronomic restaurant we ate at on the slopes in Verbier. A range of pretty typical European dishes with a gastronomic element and good quality ingredients. The service was friendly and prompt; our waiter offered us a digestif at the end of the meal, which was a nice touch. My rating: 4.3

The name has been changed from the Cuckoo's Nest, more pricey and not much change on decor except....... I was very disappoint because they don't serve the typical swiss mountain food like route au fromage, fondue etc anymore. The staff were great and the foie gras I had was excellent.

Rather unfriendly welcome for a new restaurant. We wanted to get some drinks outside of peak hours but they don’t do a “lemonade service”… hope the staff learns a bit more how to build a better customer experience. We loved L’Olympique before and the Cuckoos Nest was alright, but this seems like a soulless overpriced restaurant. Noting the restaurants response to the other review below (Richard H), seems they don’t care anyway and seem to be implying “shut up and go to self service…” not a great response. I won’t be going again this season as there are other great places in Verbier. Hope this feedback can be used to improve it though!

I comment on menu only. We loved this place as the Cuckoos Nest and would go many times a year. It had a very digestive menu and great food. Although I am sure the food is still superb the new menu has limited appeal and is truly expensive for families. Basic wine is reasonably priced but has crazy options also. I think new management have misjudged Verbier clientele. Christmas and New Year will be an obvious winner but after that good luck.
