Amazing food served by a discreet and elegant staff. I counted 9 tables in the restaurant, giving a very cosy atmosphere, yet not posh, as some tables were set up to accommodate a romantic dinner for couples while others were welcoming groups of friends or larger families.

In this very elegant and relaxed setting, we enjoyed exquisite and delicate dishes prepared by the chef, who came to salute us at the end of this beautiful evening.

For fine dining I guess there is no better spot in Crans-Montana than L'Ours. If you want the full experience you will need to pick one of the menus of 6 or greater dishes. They will walk you through Haut-cuisine dishes and always have the best wine recommendations. The staff is nice and very friendly and always looking to make your night something to remember. The price however is abit on the high side but it's an experience that you do not want to miss.
