Well our group of four had been told in advance about the speed of the service which, it seems, some other reviewers had not (although it seems to be British reviewers complaining make of that what you will) so we knew in advance this...was not a dinner that would be rushed. I speak French, but the rest of my party do not, however the waitress still explained, in impeccable English, the way they do things. The food was mostly fantastic. Two starters of artichoke soup were heart warming and rich, another starter of goats cheese parcels was delicate and sharp, and the other starter (mine) of foie gras deep fried was lovely, if weird. It was basically a foie gras spring roll, which didn't work...
Vegetarian dishes available 24 hours notice caught our eye, so we booked for Thursday night with a promise of a choice of two starters and that the chef would prepare a special veggie main course for us. We arrived on Thursday to a lovely welcome and cocktail of the day. The ambience was welcoming and relaxing, busy but not chaotic. The food was fabulous - beautifully presented and very tasty. We booked for a return visit as we were leaving and congratulated the chef for proving it is possible to have a great veggie meal out in Samoens! It's been a long time coming but worth the wait. We look forward to returning soon. Price wise not bad c10€ starter and 15€ for our veggie main. Merci beauco...
We went twice in the same week the food was so good. This is a lovely, relaxed, very French restaurant. It is a family business Monsieur cooks whilst Madame is front of house. Service was excellent both times we went and the food was brilliant. I should have taken more photos of the dishes but it looked so good I just piled in. Try the duck with tempura veg it is superb! The desserts are just as good. If you are looking for a special meal in Samoens then this is the place.
we ate here as a family last week and loved not only eating but also the service. the owner served us and was incredibly patient and attentive to us what explains the menu. the food came fast, and was delicious exactly what we were. for real French mountain kitchen. fondues of all kinds and local ice-creams. we would come back to samoens to eat here again.

Le Monde a l'Envers is a great restaurant for a top end night out, really good food a welcoming host and nice romantic evening atmosphere. The menu is pretty pricey but the food is good quality and for that special night out a good restaurant to go to, it's worth booking as they are often fully booked.
beautiful cozy place, excellent raklett and burger, very regionally done. waiter and manager very nice. efficient service and relaxed, not pushed out so that they can do 2 seats. they need to book a restaurant in samoens or they do not come in.
Very friendly staff and excellent food. Maki rolls an Iberian pork superb. Highly recommend. My friends had the fillet of beef, melt in the mouth. Very good local wine, Mondeuse, which complemented the food perfectly.
nice meal (not a special menu though) had raclette cheese and meat, but was quite a big dinner so could have done without the salad starter! was nicely decorated and cozy.
