This review is for the restaurant part of the Hotel Derby. We went in there in the middle of a…read moresnow storm after looking at a very appetizing menu that included seafood, pasta dishes, meats and poultry. And once we went inside, we had a virtual army of waiters tending to us. My partner had the prawn risotto and I had the Sea Bass Mediterranean style, which the server asks the guest whether it should be served whole or filleted. I am not a fan of cooked fish heads so I asked for a filleted bass from the kitchen... yeah I'm chicken.... We accompanied the meal with a very good Valais wine, just to ensure we were paying homage to the local culture. The entire meal was very, very good, and the service was excellent. It isn't cheap, but worth it. There is also a large bar area where a couple of dozen people were seated and having a grand old time. The only sad occurrence was not the restaurant's fault but if any, it enhanced my liking for the place. An apparently nuveau rich Russian family with what was obviously an extremely low level of sophistication, became wildly upset over a half a percent mistake in the conversion between Euros and Swiss Francs and they started a one-man scandal, yelling and screaming at the waiter in the middle of the restaurant. The table next to them, obviously a French group, were so aghast that they covered their faces in disgust. But the waiter maintained his composure and the manager quickly dissuaded the crisis. The class was definitely on the Swiss side...

Four of us had chicken dish, lasagna, and a Wiener schnitzel. All of us were very pleased with the quality of food as well as the serving size. They provided tap water and bread as well at no extra cost. They were gracious and provided great service.

Inside a hotel, we walked into the restaurant for lunch on a Tuesday in August. After waiting for a…read morewhile, we were brought to a table and had our order taken in no time. Very filling, I ordered the cheese toast with ham and egg. It is very good, but NOT like a grilled cheese. It comes out with one single thick bread coated in cheese and a fried egg and ham. It hit the spot!

Our host actually USLounge recommended this restaurant in particular and said it was the most traditional food in the small town. We went in for dinner and it was very busy. I highly suggest you make reservations because it's a small restaurant and fills up quickly. We managed to fit in a reservation for that night. We started with some hot wine. It was freezing outside so this drink certainly helped. The dinner menu was pretty big. I wasn't sure with what to get it what some things were so I just went with my first choice. I got the veal with veggies and potatoes. I'm not sure how exactly to explain how the veal tasted because I've had veal many times but this one was exceptional ! I highly suggest trying the veal.

French inspired food in a beautiful, quiet town…read more Saw this as a recommended spot not too far from the train station, so stopped by for lunch during our trip on the Golden Pass train. Our server Christian was very friendly and also funny, and helped recommend some good beers for us and some items from the menu, including the steak, the steak tartare, and the pasta. FOOD The pasta of the day was a ricotta ravioli with a lemon zest which was really stunning and we hadn't had anything like that before. All the food was excellent quality and the asparagus on the side was very fresh as well. The dessert is also generously sized, the whiskey ice cream is really good by itself or served with coffee which really gave it an extra kick. We really enjoyed this place and would recommend it for anybody who's passing by.

Google showed us some good reviews for Brasserie zur Simme, so that's what we went with. They weren't serving lunch yet, so we ordered off the snack menu. We had the cured meat plate with cheese and marinated olives. The meat was great - not overly salty or dry. But halfway through, we realized that they forgot the cheese. So we asked them about it and they brought out a plate of it. I'm glad we asked because it was some of the best cheese that we had in Switzerland. We also ordered the fruit cake with fresh whipped cream. I wasn't a huge fan because I don't like cooked fruit, and it was a little too sweet for my taste, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. I did like the fresh whipped cream though. Also worth noting is that there were also bees everywhere (inside too, since they left the doors open - this was in September), so that took away from the dining experience. It's difficult to enjoy a meal when you're trying to avoid getting stung every five minutes or so. Service was a tad slow.

The review from March of 2009 says it all but I will add a few things. First of all, request to…read moresit outside in the sun. There is no better view of the Swiss alps as far as I am concerned. Order a glass of rosé wine and the fondue. A pot of pipping hot cheese over a flame will be delivered to your table with tiny pieces of bread and cooked potatoes for dipping. Each bite is warm, savory and comforting. For dessert, the meringues are a must. Very unique with cream as thick as butter. All of the food being served looked incredible but we were so full with the cheese and the meringue that I couldn't manage anything else.
