From the Latin substantia, meaning 'something that stands under or grounds things', the name of our updated campus fine dining restaurant – Substance perfectly reflects our mission at Les Roches: to support students in their pursuit of excellence.

This modern, vibrant eatery was relocated in the campus’s main building in January 2024 and is a genuine highlight of the Les Roches Crans-Montana experience. Substance has taken the opportunity offered by the refurbishment to broaden its horizons, developing a unique vision of the future of fine dining.
The restaurant’s forward-looking philosophy is rooted in the concepts of evolution and development, with chefs and the students who staff Substance constantly striving to push the boundaries of culinary class and superior service.
Diners at Substance get to feast on an elegant selection of classic and contemporary dishes prepared from high-quality, seasonal ingredients that showcase our chefs’ passion and creativity.
Substance warmly welcomes students, faculty and the broader community, embodying a profound sense of hospitality infused with unparalleled excellence.
