Restaurant Le Vieux Villars

Booking straightforward, pleasant greeting, rapid and attentive service. Menu reasonably large. Food tasted fine liver Rösti Rösti with tomme (fried cheese), dark Toblerone mousse fresh apple tart). Haven’t been here before but will return. Thank you to all staff especially the...Chef, job well done.

Nice cosy restaurant with a good menu and all of the typical Swiss favorites that you would expect (fondue etc.. in the mountains. That said, the service was a major let down even if the waiters and waitresses were very friendly. There was a complete...lack of coordination between the staff with what was seemingly a complete lack of direction or management. All the staff were running in all directions and there was an exceptionally long wait between each course. From what I could see, the staff were overwhelmed due to a clear lack of direction everyone was seemingly serving every table which meant that no one was actually watching tables or customers or their needs. Must be the first time I have seen a restaurant that doesn’t have staff assigned to tables and not surprisingly as it just doesn’t work. Fondue was good and the prices were what you would expect in Villars. Would I return ? Yes probably but it would need to have some organization, direction and discipline in the service to make it worthwhile.

We’ve been to this nice restaurant often and it was always a good experience with delicious food of high quality. Since the change of ownership years ago, it’s the first time we’re back. The welcome was very friendly and they have a dynamic team....The interior has hardly changed and is still pleasant. The meals however were a big deception: the different Roesti looked yummy and crispy but were drowned in low-quality oil. The meat was of correct quality but dressing lacked taste and we got the impression that the veggies were frozen. The salads were ok but nothing special and quite small for their price. Another disturbing point: while the previous owner separated those eating cheese (Fondue and Raclette) from the other customers, we were surrounded by cheese fondue and sizzling meat fondue (in hot oil). I really hope that once Covid is over, the quality of the meals will be back.

I have asked for a change of menu times. The waitresss confirmed it to me. When the plate arrived, no change had been made. furthermore one of the waitress was rude

We spent a nice time in Vieux-Villars. The staff was GREAT always with a big SMILE. We have the BACCHUS specialty with Beef. It was very good with additional salad and fries for free. Our table was nicely located next to a window, i would...recommend the upper levels to eat. Will come back !
