Hôtel-Restaurant Chez Mantisi

It was raining cats and dogs as we drove up to Les Posses from Bex in search of Chez Mantisi. The clouds hung low and the mountains remained invisible. The restaurant was perched high on a mountain top, and we were pleased to see a large parking area. We walked through the door into the warm cheery welcome of a Bonjour! from the owner, as she led us to our table. For the rest of the evening we could hear her husband burst into loud song as he cooked in the kitchen. We were convinced a chef as happy as he was would present us with delicious food - and we weren't wrong!We were celebrating a special occasion and although the stunning views played hide and seek with the clouds, we were happy to be snug and dry in the little restaurant-cum-hotel, all done up in dark wood and plush red furnishings. The menu was simple. I had a Gnocchi ai Gemelli from the list of the Chef's Recommendations and husband had Ravioles de Loup de Mer, Pesto rosso et Bisque de Homard. Unbelievably delicious. Portions were huge and I had to ask for a doggy bag to take home half the gnocchi. We shared a delectable, if unusual Tiramisu of generous proportions (it had kiwi fruit hiding in the bottom of the glass.) DInner was of course washed down with a glass of vino rosso!The price was not the cheapest we have known, but the service was a delight and the evening memorable. As we braved the pouring rain to get back into the trusted chariot we decided we'd definitely be back - on a day when the sky was bright blue instead of dark gray. My advice: worth making a special trip to this excellent restaurant

This is a fantastic Italian restaurant superbly located in the small village of Les Posses. The staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The owner, Katy, has a wonderful sense of humour. One of our party asked for nothing for desert and was given an empty glass with a wafer! We visited this restaurant twice and both times were served freshly cooked meals - the first time chicken escalope and the second time home-made pasta. For Switzerland the food was reasonably priced, was of a good quality and the portions are of a good size - in fact too big for us. We will definitely be visiting here again.

Carefully presented, gorgeously sumptuous traditional Italian. Without a doubt, not just one of the best Italian restaurants in the World, Mantisi is one of the best. Charming, pleasant and professional service, with an open kitchen vibing a warm Italian family atmosphere - plus breathtaking views - a total experience. Reservation is a must.
