Walliserstube aus Grachen Öffnungszeiten

We stopped overnight in Grachen in June on our way to Italy and tried this restaurant for our evening meal. The place was practically empty but it was off-season. The food was reasonable but what spoiled it for us the complete lack of customer service from the waiter. He could not provide an English menu or speak English or French and just left us to muddle through. Fortunately another couple at the bar was able to help us translate enough of the menu to order our meal. When it came to pay, we were given another table's bill and again this mistake on the waiters part took some sorting out. I don't think we will be visiting again due the waiter's indifference.

The “Restaurant Walliserstube”, is a small but cosy restaurant in the hart of Grächen, a tiny Swiss village located in the Kanton Wallis.The interior reminds you of typical Swiss folklore. The walls are decorated with antlers, everything has a wooden finish and in the centre of the room you have a hearth. Reaching the restaurant isn’t a walk in the park unfortunately. For the people who already live in the village there is no problem, but for the outsiders it’s a bit tricky because Grächen is lain halfway on a mountain. You can however take the bus at the bottom of the mountain and it will take you right up to the doorstep of the restaurant. But let’s talk about what’s truly important, the food.The restaurant offers a wide range of both conventional and non-conventional Swiss dishes, all of top quality. There are a few dishes I would recommend; first of all the “Gletcher Steak mit Kräuterbutter”, you can get this with either fries or croquettes. The plate looks appealing and I guarantee, the taste is just as wonderful. Next is the “Raclette”, I would recommend ordering this dish in the winter because you can see how the cheese is melted before your eyes, and when the snow covers the roof tops you get a warm pleasant feeling. The last dish I would like to recommend is the “Cordon Blue”. The tender meat is always perfectly cooked to the cuisine you ask. Hats off to the chef for this.The only comment I have is that the food does take a bit of time to be prepared. This however is more than compensated for by the lip-smacking aroma’s, yummy meat and delightful fries.
