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.

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).

We were confused when speaking to the hostess about our reservation. Turns out the person who made…read moreit reserved the correct time, but for another country. The restaurant did scramble to get us in that night. It was a little tight inside, but well worth it. The head of our party ordered 2 dozen oysters. He claimed they were the best and I would have to agree. For my main, I got the Milanaise Revisited in Elephant Ear. Don't worry it's not really an elephant, but flattened veal breaded and fried to perfection. It was wonderful especially with some crispy fries. I did get to enjoy the Candied Irish Lamb Shank. It comes in a large pot and I swear it feeds at least 2 people. The savory thyme reduction was decadent and the potato with porcini mushrooms made this a heavy, but wonderful dish. I wish I had the stomach to eat it all.

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
