Restaurant Les Touristes

We were looking for a good eatery after unsuccessfully have tried to see the Francis Bacon exhibition one week early the first Friday of February 2025 and researched Google Maps for the best place in town. Luckily for us "Les Touristes" had a free table for two. This is an old institution that has been taken over by two young chefs from Wallis two years ago and has already been awarded 16/20 by the Gault Millot guide. Prices are accordingly with the exception of the lunch menu, "Ehémère". One of the two evening menus is vegetarian and looks really inviting, an intelligent move to attract parts of the younger generation with its negative approach to meat. The wine list represents what is expected from a gastronomic restaurant with a large choice of local options. My only critique is that the prices of the high-end locals, of which I have several in my wine cellar, may discourage many customers from choosing these alternatives. We had the excellent Ephémère menu which stimulates both your palate and your eyes, accompanied by a local Claret, also of excellent quality. Service by the young staff is attentive and joyful. Overall excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

This place is what love on a plate looks like! Every dish reflects the passion and dedication of the team—it's clear they pour their hearts into everything they do. Absolutely brilliant food, warm atmosphere, and consistently great service. Hands down, my favorite restaurant in the region!

Excellent service, excellent food. Definitely worth dining here. Really enjoyed the main dish.

We had the six courses from the signature menu and were not disappointed. The food was incredible as were the staff. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to go again!

I deeply recommend this place. Great quality, colorful creative & delicious dishes. Great service. Just the restaurant needs a new touch of awesome interior design. All in all a great experience in Martigny.

A pleasant surprise that exceeded expectations. Plates well presented and executed. Really impeccable service and nice, spacious ambiance.

An absolute delight. Delicious lunch tasting menu, informative and attentive service, the chefs visited every table at the end of the serving. Great wine too. Highly recommended.

Simply the best !! A relatively new restaurant since 18 months, headed by two young innovative chefs who place great importance on local produce. We had a 5 course dinner, each course was executed with a refined balance of taste, attractive presentation and well portioned. The service staff were friendly, joyful and have good knowledge in explaining the details of each course. Sommelier knows his wines menu very well and introduced us to a delicious sparkling wine from the Savoie. Very good value for money, given the quality and craftmanship. Very conveniently located in the center of Martiny, an adresse not to be missed. Will be back !

Probably the best food in Martigny. It isn't cheap, but offers great food, ambience and service. Has ample seating indoors and outside on their patio. Good location, just a block from the central plaza and a half mile from the train station. The food was a nice surprise of flavors, textures and elegantly presented. Everything seemed fresh. A pleasant surprise to find this restaurant after a few days in town.

I would give this restaurant 4 stars, but I was a bit disappointed the last time we had dinner there. The prices are too high for the quality of the food, IMO, and the service was really average. Other than that, the food is excellent (French cuisine).
