Human nature seems to me like the Alps. The depths are profound, black as night, and terrifying,…read morebut the heights are equally real, uplifted in the sunshine -- Emily Greene Balch This was a lovely restaurant about a block from one of the main drags, close to the main lift facility. It's definitely more of a locals restaurant than the tourist heavy spots you see on the main avenues and thus is a more traditional French restaurant. We loved the ambiance, service, food and the fairly priced wine list. Foie Gras, Escargot, Onion Soup, Veggies, Scallops and Steak were all perfectly prepared. I speak a little French but they will speak English graciously and never treated us like the tourists we were. One of our favorite meals on the Alps vacation. Highly recommended!!

The tour manager recommended we travel into the old town center. I found this restaurant through Yelp and their Rosti varieties plus the food quality are exactly what I needed for a lunch stop. The Rosti did not disappoint. Full disclaimer: Rosti can be a bit heavy with the cooking process that can include butter along with some bacon. Yes, the Rosti had the expected greasy texture, but just enough to make it savory without overpowering the various ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant if you are interested in trying the traditional Rosti dish in several varieties.

10 stars!! Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The fact that there is only once…read moreentree serve (there isn't even a menu for food) means that they're doing something right. The main dish here which is steak and fries with a special sauce is cooked to perfection on all accounts and leaves you wanting more and more! Once you sit down you're asked how you want your meat cooked. Soon enough a starter salad arrives which is a perfect butter lettuce in a french mustard dressing. Then your main dish arrives which is the steak and fries - your first portion ;) Then you get your SECOND portion! They serve the meal in two servings so that your food stays warm and each bite is warm and delicious. You'll be sad when the meal is over. The house wine is great and so are all the bottles they serve but the drinks and dessert menu is in French so you may have to guess! There is a menu with various options for the dessert which is handed to you after dinner. The profiteroles are great but the ice cream macaron tower dessert is just perfect - this time we had the chocolate and nut one which was so yummy even though we were full we ate the whole thing!! This location also takes reservations which is a plus if you need it :)

A unique experience!…read more We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were the 6 people in line. At opening time the line stretched down the street and was about 35-50 people total. They definitely have it down! There was a line of waitresses (only women waiters work there) they were allocated per group in line and walked you to your seat. There is no menu - everyone gets the same thing your only choice is what you get to drink and if you want your steak rare, medium, or well-done. When the plate of food came out, my husband and I thought it was a small portion and then realized they they give you another helping after you finish the first one. The sauce is very unique and flavorful but, I am not sure I would agree on the food being worth the price. It was a unique place to experience while on vacation but, I won't go out of your way to go there.

Some of us had soup for starters, and the onion came with a puff-pastry top. Steaks were tasty, but cooked to British levels (eg medium was only slight pink in the middle) rather than French. I had a platter of small desserts which were very good, but the coffee was stereotypically French (ie poor).

Our waiter, Jeremy, was fun and gracious throughout the evening. The bus staff was active and helpful. The manager checked in with the table a couple of times which also makes a big difference.

The mussels were on the smaller size but that's ok since there were so sweet tasting and the cream broth was amazing. The fries were crispy and delicious. My friend had the duck breast.

My fiancee and I were looking for places to eat that were not crazy expensive. Switzerland, as…read moremost of you know, is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, if not the most expensive. I was not too hungry, but he was super hungry. I looked up a few places and this place popped up. It was within walking distance of our hotel so we gave it a shot. We walked in and the guy asked if we had a reservation, to which we said no. I thought he would say he was out of room, but he offered us the communal table. There was another middle-aged couple sitting at the end. They kept looking over at us; it was a little creepy. The menu was all in French. And since neither of us can speak, let alone read French, we used Google translate to figure out what some of the words were. The server was able to explain to us what everything was and we were able to place our order. My fiancee got a meal-sized salad. And it was really big. We both thought it was going to be small, but he said it was filling, and probably the best Cesar salad he ever had. I ordered the small beef tartare, which is 180grams. I also expected it to be small. But I was so wrong. It's the size of a hockey puck and a little thicker than one, and it comes with a side of roasted potatoes, a small salad, and bread to spread the tartare on. By the end of meal, I was so stuffed. I am really glad we found this place.

So good. Large plates and great taste. For paying, go up to the counter after your meal.read more

You should go here for some good Savoy local food and fish dishes. Good size portions, great tastes and the local products - we went for white fish filet and homemade reblochonade. I would recommend the latter for everyone who is first time in France or in Savoy. Strawberry tiramisu is wonderful too. There is only one waiter at the disposal, so it might take same time to place and to get your order, but it is not really critical.

Two of us started with the salat mixta--impressive mix of greens and pickled and fresh veggies. Other co-pilot started with the arugula and parmesan salad. That, too was excellent. For mains, two if us had the risotto frutti de mar while other had the filet de perche with frites in the butter-cream sauce. The risotto portion was large and was just what I needed after a day on the slopes--nice assortment of seafood in a tomato base. I had a bite of the perch and it too was excellent (i will order that when I return). No deserts for any of us, but I had an excellent calvados while my friends were given, free of charge, a lemonchello. It's not cheap, but it's very good AND it's open on Sunday b
