The salmon-coloured house off the main square (it’s visible from the balcony).
Good food, easy walking distance from the apartment. If you arrive late for your reservation, you’ll receive a strong lecture from the owner (said with experience).

My favourite restaurant in Samoens : ) Located on the main square.
Not very large place, but intimate. Very nice owner who explains the menu in detail. Most of the ingredients are organic, including the meat. Slightly more expensive than the other places, I think, but worth it.
