The story
Within the Guarda Golf Hotel & Residences in Crans-Montana, FIVE brings the warm, shared-table ethos of Levantine cooking to an alpine setting. The restaurant’s name is drawn from five guiding principles: generous hospitality, convivial sharing, respect for nature’s produce, a contemporary interpretation of flavours, and the deep culinary heritage of the Levant.
The meal begins with a selection of Aegean and Levantine mezze, designed for passing and tasting around the table. Mains turn toward the Mediterranean — grilled fish, carefully sourced meats — followed by a round of sweet creations. The kitchen draws on Lebanese traditions while keeping the food light and modern, letting ingredients speak.
Dining happens in a refined, airy room or, in season, on the sun-drenched terrace with views over the golf course and mountains. The setting is relaxed but polished — a place where a long lunch or a slow dinner feels natural.
FIVE earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide, a quiet nod to the precision and soul in the cooking. It’s open for lunch and dinner, with a weekday summer lunch menu (58 CHF) that changes weekly with seasonal produce. The restaurant also offers a Sunday buffet, catering for private events, and takeaway.
For anyone seeking authentic Lebanese cuisine without leaving Switzerland, FIVE delivers with a lightness and warmth that matches its mountain backdrop.
