Back then it was called "La Plummardiere". It changed owners at least twice since but always remain one of the finest gourmet table of the ancient French Province of Bugey. The current owners took over 10 years ago and my friends and family in the area tell me they have maintained the tradition of exceptional quality, taste and conviviality that made this establishment world renown. I am anxious to go back and sit again a their table with my family and friends next summer. I'll write another review then and post pictures.

It's a perfect little spot with lots of amazing choices on the menu so you'll always find something that you like on there! My two favorite dishes on the menu are local specialities. If you are going to get raclette anywhere, this is the place to get it! Why you ask? The presentation! Their raclette heater is beyond beautiful! But enough about the heater, the cheese is fantastic and paired with their huge charcuterie platter and big bowl of potatoes and big bowl of salad it is absolute perfection! If you don't feel like you need to be rolled out of there, you didn't do it right! They give you a huge amount of cheese and so much meat to keep you busy. I also highly recommend their fondue. The fondue here is perfect in every single way. The keep an eye out to make sure the fire isn't too hot and burning the cheese and not getting too cold at the same time. If I remember correctly they use three different cheeses in their fondue so the flavor is spot on! We did fondue delivery from another place a week before and this fondue kicked it's butt! I shared this with my mother and when we got the pot, we thought they gave us way too much cheese but we managed to finish the whole pot it was that good! This is a great local spot and I would recommend it to any one in the area. Cozy up next to the fireplace, enjoy some wine and a nice raclette and you'll be one happy person! I can't wait to go back!

It was a 40 minute drive, but I felt the food, service, and atmosphere was worth it! The menu was very extensive. I was envious of some of the dishes being served to other diners, but we were there for the Raclette and it did not disappoint. Read more about my visit on my blog: http://wp.me/p8juup-7I
