Des Amis In Bionaz

19/09/2025: Sought out this restaurant specifically for their lunch menu, featured on their website and in restaurant window. Once we were seated I asked for the lunch menu and was told there’s no lunch menu anymore. I’m disappointed we were not told this before we sat down, as we would have chosen to eat elsewhere. Ended up spending 2x what we would have for their lunch and ultimately didn’t even get the dishes we went for (Tubetti “Benedetto Cavalieri”, salsa di pomodoro fresco).

03/09/2025: Dinner at Pierre Alexis's was a true celebration of taste, orchestrated by a passionate family whose mastery and rigor are evident in the kitchen as well as in the dining room. The cozy atmosphere, precise gestures, and attentive service make every moment a living testament to their history and expertise passed down from generation to generation. The unexpected marriage of rabbit and eel, bold and luminous, transcends the boundaries of traditional cuisine: the finesse of the rabbit meets the salty depth of the eel, and each texture is a surprise, enhanced by a subtle dash of herb sauce that makes the flavors burst forth in the mouth. Then comes the pigeon prepared three ways, including the tender sous-vide breast, the roasted supreme, and the confit leg, offering a palette of refined and precise flavors; the perfect pairing with the fermented pear is simply remarkable. The venison, placed on Jerusalem artichokes, truly stands out as the centerpiece: an explosion of colors and aromas thanks to the beetroot, celery, and Jerusalem artichoke powders add complexity and elegance to the dish. The meat, seared to perfection, is enhanced by a black elderberry reduction and a powerful jus, offering an experience where earth and undergrowth intertwine with intensity. Coming to Pierre Alexis means accepting surprises, rediscovering what eating means. I'll stop there: you have to experience this emotion, because Pierre Alexis isn't just a restaurant: it's a family that elevates cuisine to its highest peaks, with rigor, precision, and passion, for an unforgettable sensory experience.
