Restaurant URSUS

Eating at a one-star restaurant in a ski resort was a surprising first. We were welcomed by the chef with some lovely mushroom snacks and soup – they tasted fantastic right away. The decor was also really well done and cleverly incorporated a forest theme (though the leafy ceiling print wasn't my favourite bit, to be honest). The service was excellent; they explained each dish clearly and even wore gloves when changing our cutlery, which was a nice touch. The food overall was very good. You could tell they used a lot of local ingredients and were creative with their cooking and presentation. I especially loved the truffle potato dish – it was brilliant. My only slight niggle was with the rainbow trout. It was cooked perfectly and was very tender, but I personally found it a little too fishy for my taste (even though I love fish and seafood). I'd probably prefer salmon. The cheese and blueberries dessert was also exceptional. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. It was easy to book(we dined in end of season time), the prices were reasonable, and it actually felt like good value considering how expensive things can be in ski resorts. If you're after a fun, tasty dining experience with some interesting local touches, it's well worth it.

The theme of the restaurant is "the forest" - that starts with the decor which includes tree logs as an seperator in the restaurant. Very nice and cozy but still elegant. The theme is also integrated in the food by primary focussing on warm, full-bodied, earthy flavours. The food was absolutely delicious, but the heavy dishes took a toll on me and I had to give up when they served petitfours at the end. It was just a bit over the top. The wines in the wine pairing were acceptable but did not match the quality of the food. I wished there was an option to upgrade the pairing. Overall, it was a very good experience - the staff was friendly and smiling but also very busy, so there was a few times where I didn't had my wine served at the same time as the food.

A very well deserved Michelin star and a notch better than some other 1-star restos we’ve tried in terms of flavor and service. It was truly a forest journey experience. Also a delight to be welcomed and sent off by the chef. We liked everything except for the veal which we found a tad salty and bitter. Wine pairing is also highly recommended.

Amazing experience with a lot of attention to details. Food is good but the vegetarian option is extremely poor (the exact side dish of the « normal » menu) and charged the same. Also extremely salty that almost hurts the mouth. Price is very fair for two stars and the service level.

Exquisite food, setting, service. You are welcomed in the “local forrest” of the chef and owner Mr Bouvier with almost all products coming from local forest and suppliers. We took the 5 course surprise menu ( there is also a 3 course), which is plenty of food together with all the amuses in between. The accompanying wines where perfect, local, but a bit to much in combination with the 5 courses. The food came at a bit to fast paste but were 1 by 1 worth the money!

Mindblowing. An exceptional, emotional cuisine brought in a great setting and with outstanding hospitality and service. For me, the best fine dining experience of the last five years.

Wonderful culinary experience in a cosy place. I removed a star for lack of commercial attitude. My wife got sick and left for the better part of the meal. There was no sign of compassion either on the final bill or any other way. I know it cost almost as much as if she had been served all dishes, but that’s a cold way to look at it. Anyway, there are other ways than a discount to handle that, but we got none of that either. I didn’t post this a year ago but I was reminded of it after having another slightly underwhelming experience at the bar (slow & inattentive). I hope the service will improve in the future.

Very good atmosphere and service ! The cuisine was under our expectations and not well executed. We didn’t like few plates from the longest menu. The promise of a local gastronomic tour was not taken by the cuisine..in general was a good experience.
