"We had a mid week lunch at this Italian restaurant Recommended by our Italian friends living in Ollon. We had the most delicious mushroom risotto we’ve ever tasted. The prosciutto wrapped melon also delicious. We had an orange, fennel salad but sadly a huge bowl of lettuce and only a small amount of topping. The pesto beef pasta was tasty but very oily. The veal on lettuce (like cold Roast beef) was ok wouldn’t have it again. Service was slow too. G&T Tonic was flat."

"It was raining cats and dogs as we drove up to Les Posses from Bex in search of Chez Mantisi. The clouds hung low and the mountains remained invisible. The restaurant was perched high on a mountain top, and we were pleased to see a...large parking area. We walked through the door into the warm cheery welcome of a Bonjour! from the owner, as she led us to our table. For the rest of the evening we could hear her husband burst into loud song as he cooked in the kitchen. We were convinced a chef as happy as he was would present us with delicious food and we weren't wrong! We were celebrating a special occasion and although the stunning views played hide and seek with the clouds, we were happy to be snug and dry in the little restaurant cum hotel, all done up in dark wood and plush red furnishings. The menu was simple. I had a Gnocchi ai Gemelli from the list of the Chef's Recommendations and husband had Ravioles de Loup de Mer, Pesto rosso et Bisque de Homard. Unbelievably delicious. Portions were huge and I had to ask for a doggy bag to take home half the gnocchi. We shared a delectable, if unusual Tiramisu of generous proportions (it had kiwi fruit hiding in the bottom of the glass). DInner was of course washed down with a glass of vino rosso! The price was not the cheapest we have known, but the service was a delight and the evening memorable. As we braved the pouring rain to get back into the trusted chariot we decided we'd definitely be back on a day when the sky was bright blue instead of dark gray. My advice: worth making a special trip to this excellent restaurant"

"I'm 40 years old today and I discovered this steakhouse on this occasion. First of all, the service: smiling, efficient and friendly. Nothing to say except thank you and well done. Then the cuisine: the pan-fried foie gras as a starter with its passion fruit and coffee sauce is a pure delight. Then, the main course: the Meating, 250g of beef (for two people or more), with homemade butter and itou fries, a real treat. I finished my partner's portion at the risk of not being able to have dessert. What a mistake it had been! Their crème brûlée, served in a shallow but large plate, is worth a detour. In short, flawless as we would like to see more often."

"Nous sommes allés à 4 personnes manger la fondue à la viande (marinée aux herbes type anniviarde, ou glariarde pour les non connaisseurs). Terrasse quasi vide alors qu’une superbe soirée s’annonçait, c’est dommage. Nous avons super bien mangé la viande était d’une merveilleuse qualité, accompagnée d’un saladier de salades, de pdt rissolées et 3 sauces différentes. Rapport qualité prix incroyable également. Deux bouteilles de vin, apero, café dessert en sus pour moins de 80. par personne, nous y retournerons !"

"we ate at the communal pint thanks to a good purchase on the qooking site. and it was a very nice discovery, the restaurant being totally unknown to me before. A modern, cozy decor, two separate parts, one brewery the other more gastronomic, one terrace. a very friendly welcome. We tasted the menu 8 dishes in agreement with 3 wines. The dishes are superb, whether for the eyes with a remarkable presentation and an original dishes but also for the nose with subtle fragrances and for the palate with tastes sought but harmonious. A mention for the sorbets, great chef's specialty, regularly added to the dishes and cleverly married. the tip of freshness was a plus, while it was about 34° outside. meat and fish cooking is controlled. We especially enjoyed the foie gras, its red and orange beet sorbet and the rhubarbe chutney - the low-temperature cooked poultry poultry with its high-pitched reduction - the summum was the apple poached with spices and its Breton biscuit, we add a little raw pistachio and a salty caramel butter and get a dream meal end. And I'm not a dessert lover. A single small flat for the carrot velvet and its fruit sorbet of passion, the velvety lacked peps. But it's just a personal opinion. A lovely service, with regular pace, the choice of wines was good with a beautiful Valais discovery (fin bec.) a very good price for the quality of the kitchen. We exchanged a few words with the chef, who does not hesitate to share his passion, without giving his secrets of course.A great gastronomic moment and a beautiful discovery in Aigle.Bravo and thank you."
