"Un moment exceptionnel dans un cadre bucolique. Accompagné du chant des oiseaux et des grillons, sur le conseil d’un ami, j’ai découvert ce petit coin de paradis. J’étais venu pour le Tartare de boeuf ( ce fameux conseil), et je ne regrette aucunement. Toute la carte me donnais envie. Mais bon, il faut faire un choix : une salade en entrée pour commencer gentiment, puis un os à moelle au piment d’espellette ( cuisson parfaite) ; pour suivre un tartare de boeuf ( classique, malgré la multitude de choix disponibles). Une merveille Service souriant et professionnel. Je reviendrais découvrir le reste de la carte, seul, ou avec des amis. Un pur bonheur Merci"

"Geheimtipp... Wir waren schon längere Zeit nicht mehr hier. Hatten das La Contrée aber in äusserst guter Erinnerung. Heute nun waren wir in der Gegend und konnten am späteren Nachmittag das Restaurant besuchen. Gratulation an das ganze Restaurant-Team. Service 1A, Terrasse Ambiente 1A, Wein 1A, Tartar (Machart und Portiongrösse) 1A, Preis 1A. Nebenbei, mein Smartphone Akku war leer, für den Service vom La Contrée kein Problem zu helfen. Besten Dank. ...Geheimtipp Tartar, Bravo!"

"Un vrai coup de cœur ! Un restaurant où l’on se sent tout de suite bien, porté par l’accueil chaleureux de Joëlle et François, et la cuisine savoureuse du chef Pierre, qui sait mettre tout son talent et beaucoup d’ amour dans l’assiette. Des produits sublimés, une très belle cave, une ambiance vraiment conviviale qui font de LA CONTRÉE un lieu unique et incontournable. Un grand merci à vous. On reviendra avec joie !"

"Adresse incontournable. Pierre en cuisine et Joëlle en salle, gardiens des lieux. Lieu et atmosphère simple, belle terrasse l’été. Cuisine divine, la carte à un choix de tartare l’un plus succulent que l’autre. N’hésitez pas à goûter aux suggestions du chef qui change selon la saison et l’envie du chef."

"A real old style country inn within a few minutes proximity to the Sierre train station by a cable car ride and a short walk or a 10 minute taxi ride. The owner/chef previously had a career in the international hotel management. When he retired, he came back to his place of birth to take over his old family village cafe. The cuisine is largely simple traditional regional cooking as it was probably done 50 or 100 years ago by his ancestors. Not fancy food guide place but simple authentic village inn food and ambiance from a different era. A different experience and than that often found in the fancy food guides places. English, French and German is no problem for staff. The local wines are superior since a few of best local vineyards are actually based in the village. The food is of the simple authentic traditional variety. Frankly, I am a foodie but I enjoyed this less "sophisticated" simple good food experience. Prices are fairly reasonable. The extremely impressive Chateau Mercier is on the 10 minute walk back to cable car stop."
