The lamb I got - was outstanding. Tender, juicy, thick cut that filled me up. The fondue was ok - not a fan of that apparently. The escargot was great, and I also had a bite of entrecote - was cooked perfectly as well. Bottle of wine and a glass of Armagnac each, we left the restaurant full and happy. The lights in the dining room could use a bit of dimming. That was just too bright inside.

An amazing view of Verbier and the Alps complements the excellent food and beer they have here. We order a few variations of Swiss beer, which were all fantastic, as well as the fondue and fries. Note: the fondue does have white wine in it, and a fairly strong amount, which unfortunately, being allergic, I wasn't able to eat, but all the rest of my party enjoyed it immensely! Superb location and ambiance, would definitely ski there again!

Great place for fondue in Verbier! Make sure to make a reservation because it gets filled up (I…read morebelieve because it is in a hotel?). They start their dinner service at 6:30pm. We got there a little before and they were still able to seat us and we just waited which was fine. The menu has a lot of options. For the 4 of us we ultimately landed on the escargot, cheese fondue, beef/chicken fondue and raclette. These all came with many things to dip (meat, bread, potatoes, etc.) and a variety of sauces. Everything was DELICIOUS! Ambiance has an extremely cute Swiss vibe and felt very cozy even though there were a lot of tables in a large room. The service was very friendly but a little on the slow side and once it got busy it got tough to track down a waitress.

Our favorite restaurant in Verbier so far! An incredibly intimate and cozy ambiance that simulates…read moreyour grandmother's home, a roaring fireplace is smack in the middle, providing warmth and a crackling spectacle. The fire is also functional to the food, but we'll get to that shortly. This restaurant only takes reservations at two seatings, 7PM and 9PM. I'd recommend booking at 7PM and coming slightly earlier to enjoy the entire space to yourself and then experience the tables and air around you fill with chatter and conversation after a great day on the slopes. You'll also be able to have a personal session with the restaurant's Bernese Mountain Dog! She's a friendly giant, who although isn't allowed in the dining area, often sneaks out from the kitchen. On to the food, an incredible assortment of regional cuisine that's best shared with the party. For starters, we ordered the onion soup, a hearty broth that's warms your soul after being in the snow, the escargot, can't go wrong drenched in butter and herbs, as well as the rabbit terrine, which was excellent. For our mains, we had a pair of truffle fondues and raclettes. You may be thinking of the viral raclette pasta sensation, but this is much more traditional and portioned. Remember the fireplace I was speaking of? A couple raclette wheels are left to melt by the fire, and when they're ready, you'll be cut a slice of gooey cheese to enjoy with the bread, charcuterie board and potatoes. Whenever you run out, you'll be brought another slice of fresh melted raclette! Finally, I got the pot roast, a Dutch oven of braised and stewed beef with potatoes, carrots and bone marrow. The beef was tender beyond belief, and the broth carried a complex and hearty flavor. Additionally, it included some mustard and horseradish as garnish which paired very well with the beef and stew. The charcuterie boards themselves were excellent, both with the truffle fondue and raclette and they even let us bring home the extras we couldn't finish, vacuum sealed for freshness! The wine my party ordered were excellent and we were definitely having a good time with the meal! Great service, homely atmosphere, and hearty and excellent food. La Sonalon sits on top of Verbier and also provides a stunning view of the sleepy village at night. Definitely take a car or cab up here if you can! I actually don't think it's possible to walk up here, especially after skiing all day. Will definitely look forward to coming back here!

The food is as good as it gets in Verbier, not pretentious but interesting and very nicely…read moreprepared. There is the usual cheese stuff and steaks and lamb etc according to the season and it is very family friendly. What sets this place apart is its location. And what I like about it is that it is literally as far as you can get from the nouveau riche wannabe celebrity culture of Verbier.It is not a 'mountain' restaurant up on the ski slopes and therefore filled with skiers, but instead it is way out of the way, halfway up the mountain on a dead end dirt road in the forest. In summer you can drive to the door on a winding one track dirt road over the cow pastures. Americans worry about falling off the mountain and drive about five miles an hour, the locals play rally driver and go about 55. In winter, during the day, you have to walk this road. Count on half an hour from where the bus stops. The roadway is groomed by a snowcat and is fairly flat. It is a favorite with people with dogs or those who just want a hike. At night they have a tracked vehicle which will take you up but you have to walk, or sledge back down. This used to be a ramshackle hut roofed with tin and only open in high summer. Now it is much expanded and modernised, with big terrace and outdoor garden but still with several small rooms of wood inside. It is built right into the rock and you feel like a hobbit visiting it. In season you will see the cows trooping past. You can ski here but not on groomed and marked trails and not without venturing into off piste terrain, with possible avalanche risk. The owner used to be the 'guardian' of the Mont Fort Swiss Alpine Club refuge up on the pistes of Verbier and he has managed to keep the atmosphere rustic at Marlenaz, though everything is fully modernised. I like to see that the people who work there are for the most part local boys and girls, young and if I may say so generally very attractive and friendly. In Verbier itself restaurants are generally staffed by guest workers brought in from France, Quebec or Portugal, and you miss the local flavour or at least I do. The menu is varied and there is always whatever is local and in season like mountain berries or game. The cheese dishes are of high quality and genuine, unlike in some Verbier restaurants where the fondues are made from instant mix bought at the local supermarket! The Russians don't come up this far and neither do the low budget Brits on chalet company holidays. A lot of Geneva people do, and locals. If you don't like dogs, stay away, as walking the dog up here is very popular and they are allowed inside.
