Quiet, cozy place with a super friendly (and talkative) owner and staff. I ordered the tartiflette…read morebecause he said it was "the best in the world" and indeed, it was great! But even more amazing (to me) was the side salad! Roasted, tri-color veggies and marinated eggplant with an assortment of lettuces and arugula - it knocked my socks off! My companions shared the fondue for two and I liked it even better than the tartiflette because the flavor with the wine was even better IMO. It came with incredibly delicious cuts of charcuterie, bread and potatoes. For dessert, we had to go light: lemon and blueberry sorbet. And final comment: as the French are not known to accept the idea of doggy bags, I was impressed when the owner cleaned out a container just to pack up my to-go items (which were still delish the next day!) Edit: we went back two days later! I've posted pics. Still as delicious and wonderful as the first time.

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

Dinner starts at 7pm here. There weren't many restaurant options in Champex, but this was the…read morehighest rated on Yelp so we decided to give it a shot. There were only about 5 items in the menu and we ended up ordering 3 of them. Baby chicken with yogurt and spicy sauce, trout and this basil carrot salad, and tomato mozzarella salad. The trout dish was by far my favorite dish of the night. It was so fresh and didn't have any fishy taste. We picked the entire fish clean, eyes, cheek, any white meat that we could find. The tomato mozzarella salad was also delicious. Fresh mozzarella and the taste was pretty light, which went well with the tomato and salad. Great dish to start the night. The baby chicken was quite good also. It paired very well with the spicy sauce. The yogurt sauce was a bit too sour for me and overpowered the chicken taste. Also ordered their local beer to try out. It started off pretty light and smooth, but became very bitter after having the chicken. There was also complimentary bread that was fresh from the oven and well seasoned. This place doesn't have a set menu as their menu is written onto a glass wall.

A substantial slab of pork belly, the lingering smokiness and sweet, acidic BBQ sauce let me know that while I'm in Switzerland, there's still access to big, bold, meaty flavors. Paired with an Asian slaw and a baked sweet potato (yes, and odd mix, but it really worked!). And washed it down with a beautiful local rosé. And with a view of Lac du Champex that simply can't be beat!! It's a shame it my last night here, but the TMB calls!!

Went here for dinner after a 50 mile day in the saddle, including Alpe D'Huez. Glad we got there…read moreright as they opened as it filled fast. We each ordered the priz fixe 28€ option; we each got onion soup; which was different from the one in Paris, but equally good. Emmentaler chews in place of grueyer; and the broth tasted almost mushroom-like. We added on 6 escargot; served out of the shell in butter and parsley; classic and delicious. Aimée had the mushroom ravioli, served in a crock dish; the sauce/cheese was sweet and flavorful; more ravioli pieces than entire ravioli; I had the fish of the day; sea bass with a vegetable sauce that had a deep flavor; came with cooked local in season vegetables, a perfect accompaniment. Aimée had the strawberry soup for dessert; came in a sundae dish with what appeared to be gelato in the middle; wonderful, tart. I had the local dessert as recommended by our waiter; walnut pie with chartreuse ice cream. The rich pie, with walnuts was offset by the ice cream in the most wonderful way. Our waiter was excellent; great recommendations, even though they were very busy he kept up and had a great attitude. Highly recommend - will be back if in Grenoble again
