The Restaurant

- South: Forget the fancy. Feel-good favourites are what they are all about down south. Their chefs have created a roster of reinvented classics to satisfy the biggest of game-day appetites, including burgers, ribs, fish & chips or mac & cheese.
The Valais is famous for some excellent produce and therefore they try to source their ingredients locally where possible. Many of their cheeses come from Verbier’s very own Laiterie and their meats from their local butcher, Georgy Maret in Le Chable.
Child policy
Children are welcome at the hotel, however please not that the Farinet comprises of not only the Hotel but also an After-Ski bar, a Lounge Bar, and a night club.
