The story
La Vallée in Riezlern brings French bistro cooking to the heart of the Kleinwalsertal. Executive chef Sascha Kemmerer translates his experience from the Michelin-starred Kilian Stuba into a relaxed setting inside the historic casino building. He prioritizes precise technique and honest ingredients over theatrical presentation. Manager Lillian Roth guides guests through this approachable dining space with decades of hospitality knowledge.
The menu highlights classic preparations adapted for everyday enjoyment. Guests frequently order the marinated beef tartare served alongside crispy bistro fries or the grilled Iberico pork loin with rosemary potatoes. Slow-cooked duck legs paired with leek and date vegetables demonstrate how regional produce meets French sauce craft. Consistent execution across these dishes earned the kitchen a 12.5 rating from Gault & Millau.
The historic casino building houses a dining room designed for both casual lunches and quiet dinners. Limited edition prints by Annette Sandner line the walls, each capturing a dish prepared directly by the culinary team. A curated wine list featuring open pours pairs easily with white chocolate mousse or a regional cheese selection. This relaxed pacing aligns perfectly with the French-inspired kitchen.
