How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

Byakko
Byakko sits in Crans-Montana’s high-altitude dining circuit, where resort expectations meet the produce logic of Valais: dairy, mountain herbs, cellar-friendly wines, and cooking built for cold evenings after the slopes. With no public award or price signal attached, it reads less as a trophy-booking exercise than as a scene-specific address to judge by sourcing, format, and fit within the resort’s broader restaurant mix.
L'OURS
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
L'OURS holds a Michelin star at the Hostellerie du Pas de l'Ours in Crans-Montana, where chef Franck Reynaud runs a five-to-eight course discovery menu grounded in seasonal ingredients and classical technique. Wood, stone, and a Valais wine list define the room's register. At the €€€€ price tier, it sits at the summit of the resort's fine dining bracket.
Le Partage
Le Partage holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, placing it among a small tier of recognised dining addresses in Crans-Montana. Chef Nicolas Lormeau's bistro-style French contemporary cooking sits at the €€€ price point, occupying a space between the resort's casual mountain fare and its higher-end tasting-menu houses..
LeMontBlanc
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Crans-Montana's only Michelin-starred address, LeMontBlanc holds a single star (2024) and serves Modern French cuisine inflected with international technique, Simmental veal, miso, ponzu, kumquat alongside classic Gallic foundations. The semi-circular dining room frames panoramic Alpine views, and the wine list runs deep across formats. Open daily from noon, it anchors the resort's fine dining tier at the €€€€ price point.
Restaurant Gastronomique l'Ours
Restaurant Gastronomique l'Ours belongs to Crans-Montana’s serious Alpine dining tier: creative cooking shaped around Valais produce, seasonal sourcing, and a wine conversation rooted in the canton. Chef Franck Reynaud’s name gives the room its culinary anchor, but the wider point is the resort’s shift from chalet comfort toward polished mountain gastronomy.
