Au Vieux Manoir

The story

Au Vieux Manoir, Monthey – Refined French Cuisine in a Historic Swiss Setting

A Historic House, a New Chapter

In the quiet hillside village of Choëx, above Monthey, Au Vieux Manoir occupies a house built in 1882 by a Parisian doctor. Originally called "La Fin du Bruit," the property once hosted illustrious guests including Gustave Eiffel and Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty. Letters from both men, praising the beautiful landscape, still remain among the house papers. Today, that same sense of tranquil escape defines the experience.

Since January 2017, Chef Jérémy Voisin and his team have been at the helm. Voisin trained in a four-star hotel and spent three years at the Auberge de Vouvry under Chef Martial Braendle before opening his own kitchen here. His cooking is refined and rooted in tradition, built entirely on fresh, seasonal products. The menu changes constantly, offering French cuisine that is as ephemeral as it is flavourful, with an emphasis on local ingredients and wines from across Switzerland.

Recognition and Atmosphere

The restaurant earned 14 points from Gault&Millau in November 2022 and is referenced by the MICHELIN Guide, a testament to the precision and quality of the kitchen. The setting is calm and atypical—a place where history and a contemporary dining approach meet. Guests can also stay overnight in the five guest rooms, continuing a tradition of hospitality that began over a century ago.
