4/5 Sebastian R. 1 year ago on Google
I
was
hungry
and
had
just
been
refused
by
the
only
two
restaurants
open
in
Simplon
Dorf
on
my
way
back
from
Italy.
So
I
phoned
"des
Cheminots"
and
found
out
they
had
a
single
table
still
available,
that
I
reserved
telling
them
I
would
be
down
from
the
pass
in
half
an
hour.
What
a
good
surprise
to
find
a
restaurant
these
days
that
serves
oxtail
with
mashed
potatoes
just
the
way
I
used
to
cook
it
when
I
had
little
money
and
eight
hours
to
surveil
the
cooking,
i.e.
when
I
was
a
poor
student.
The
menu
is
interesting
and
even
features
a
couple
of
elaborately
cooked
vegetarian
dishes
as
well
as
well
chosen
high
quality
local,
and
foreign
wines.
There
are
three
dining
areas
and
the
public
appears
to
be
"who
is
who"
in
Brig.
I
chose
a
turbot
cooked
to
perfection
accompanied
by
a
high-end
Petite
Arvine
and
followed
by
a
Pear
Tatin.
A
delicate
ox
muzzle
was
served
as
"amuse
bouche".
The
staff
is
expedient,
observes
when
your
glass
is
empty
and
has
a
good
and
discrete
sense
of
humor.
On
the
way
down
the
flight
of
stairs
to
the
perfectly
kept
toilets
you
can
admire
previous
famous
guests
like
a
couple
of
former
Swiss
presidents.
Food
is
rather
expensive
but
in
line
with
the
quality
offered.
Highly
recommended
for
a
night
out
on
the
town
with
your
beloved
one
or
good
friends.
I
will
certainly
be
back
for
the
oxtail
before
the
end
of
the
month.
As
promised,
we
were
back
before
the
end
of
January
to
taste
the
oxtail
as
well
as
a
vegetarian
dish,
traveling
to
Brig
from
Lausanne
and
back
by
train
with
my
daughter
this
Sunday
morning.
We
had
reserved
a
table
for
lunch
but
had
not
expected
to
be
given
the
worst
seating
in
the
more
than
half
empty
dining
room
in
the
norther
part
of
the
hotel,
squeezed
in
between
another
couple
and
the
breakfast
buffet,
and
staring
at
the
industrial
Hero
jams
and
piles
of
plates.
The
waitress
appeared
to
have
been
recently
hired,
the
bread
sucked
and
portions
were
small
(two
vertebral
tail
segments
only!).
Much
of
the
praise
we
gave
after
our
previous
visit
was
unjustified
this
time.
