Au Vieux Mazot - Evolene

We came for dinner one evening and chose to sit outside on a warm summers night. Blankets were available for anyone finding the air to cool. This is a lovely old restaurants with an open fire/grill outside and featuring traditional furniture and decoration. We ordered...the traditional raclette and a couple of other local dishes and were served promptly and efficiently. Subsequent servings took a little bit of time. We were expecting a few more trimmings with the raclette, but the cheese was outstanding. The polenta with rabbit was very tasty and a huge portion of meat very yummy. While the service was efficient, we found it slightly impersonal. But the big surprise was that when we asked for the bill, the initial price was reduced as we had eaten less raclette portions than initially intended and the restaurant dropped the price accordingly. We found this a very generous and honest gesture towards their clients. Thank you.

The place is nice but it is rather expensive for what it is. over you need to fight to get served your raclette without limit.

I stopped here with a group of hikers for lunch- and was lucky enough to be seated on the sunny terrace with a magnificent view of the mountains and ancient tile roofs. Prominently located at the entry to the restaurant is a hearth with raclette...melting by the fire, so I was tempted and ordered the raclette. I got a nice basket with potatoes and a plate with some onions and cornichons. The shocking part was that I was served three very small scrapings of raclette and the cost of the dish was 24 SF. Pretty amazing price for a smear of cheese and some boiled potatoes! Although serving a large group can be challenging, this restaurant handled it the worst. Some of our group were finished with their meal while others were just beings served. It's a shame because I think the food was pretty good according to my friends, and the view was just lovely and quaint.

Lovely woodfire smell when you walk in busy staff so slightly dismissive the shocker was the 11. CHF bottle of water. expensive than Verbier.
