The story
Le 1913 – also known as Maison 1913 – is the emblematic rotisserie of the Villars Palace hotel in Villars-sur-Ollon. True to its name, the restaurant celebrates the terroir with a cuisine that is both generous and refined, built on exceptional local ingredients selected by the season. The kitchen blends tradition with modern international touches, offering a menu that changes throughout the day and year.
The restaurant is designed as a meeting place, drawing a mix of local regulars and international guests. The warm, convivial interior opens onto a breathtaking alpine panorama – the kind of view that defines a Swiss mountain stay. Open daily from 12:00 to 22:45, the atmosphere shifts from a bright lunch spot to a cosy dinner destination. An adjacent lounge space, the Espace Lounge, offers chic mountain ambience and house cocktails, perfect for an aperitif before or after the meal.
Le 1913 earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a nod to its consistent quality and commitment to showcasing the best of the region. The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in simplicity and authenticity – every dish is meant to be savoured without pretence, letting the produce speak. Whether you come for a set lunch, a private dinner, or a relaxed brunch, the experience is anchored in the same principle: generous, seasonal, and unmistakably local.
