In short: raclette is enjoyed all over the world, but a few addresses stand out: the Valais cellars where it was born, the Paris tables that reinvent it and an institution all the way in Montreal. Here is our selection of the best raclette restaurants, updated regularly.
How do we choose raclette restaurants?
We pick places for the quality of the cheese, the authenticity of the service (scraped from a half wheel or not) and the overall experience. Each listing shows its verification date. Know a good address? Write to us.
A good raclette restaurant is first of all a cheese you want to finish down to the rind. It is then a service that keeps pace with the table: raclette is eaten hot, slice after slice, and nobody likes watching their neighbor tackle a third plate while they wait for the first. Finally, there is the atmosphere. Some places bet on tradition, others on originality, and both have a spot on this map.
Where can you eat raclette in Switzerland, where it all began?
Château de Villa, Sierre (Valais)
A “temple” of Raclette du Valais AOP, in its own words: you taste, all you can eat, a selection of five raw-milk cheeses from alpine pastures or dairies all over the canton (CHF 38 per person according to the château’s website). This is the place to understand that raclette doesn’t have a single taste: each pasture produces a different cheese, and you compare them plate after plate. Read our listing.
