Walliserstuba
A Valais-style eatery beside the station, popular for cheese fondue, raclette and its signature Blue Ribbon pork chop. A good introduction to Swiss cheese dishes.
Walliserstuba is on Bahnhofstrasse near Brig railway station and serves home-style Valais cooking with some Italian dishes. Homemade cheese fondue, raclette (the bacon version is especially praised) and rösti are popular choices. The owners say their most famous dish is the 'Blue Ribbon pork chop', though reviews are mixed. It has a TripAdvisor rating of 4.3 and ranks among the top ten in Brig. Long opening hours make it convenient after arriving by train or coming down from the mountains, and dinner reservations are advisable in peak season. Average spend is about CHF 35–50 per person.
