Anniviers (Sierre)

The Anniviers café-restaurant combines a modern interior with a typical bistro feel, with old-fashioned tables and black-and-white photos. The decor is uncluttered but creates an intimate, friendly atmosphere. Located at 44 Route du Simplon, Sierre, the restaurant specializes in frog legs, tripe and beef tartare. Not forgetting the Glareyarde fondue, made with marinated beef, sliced raw and cooked like a Chinese fondue. For the record, this fondue was served for the first time thirty years ago, on a day in December 1986, during a "cagnotte" meal. Since then, owner Dominique Bucher likes to say that the Anniviers café-restaurant is the "cradle of Glareyarde fondue"! Alongside the chef's specialities, you'll find traditional dishes and old-fashioned Valais specialities such as entrecôte à la moelle or tournedos à la Rossini. Each season has its own suggestions, with this autumn's traditional sauerkraut garnished Alsatian-style or with fish, Alsatian cordon-bleu (sauerkraut, Munster cheese, cooked bacon) or duck leg parmentier confit. The wine list features mainly local vintages. In the dining room, a warm, relaxed and smiling welcome is assured by the Anniviers café-restaurant team.
