Wonderful. Up on the side of a hill above Talloires, where we were staying. We parked by the…read morepigpen (two pigs) and walked up the road a little. We didn't have a reservation, so they had us sit outside (near the goat pen). It was a little chilly -- bring a jacket, or, like the family next to us, a couple of blankets. We had raclette and cheese fondue, so we were warmed by the apparatus of both. And the heavenly taste of melted local cheese and wine, crusty bread, white wine, potatoes, and a simple and delicious green salad. Finally, for dessert, we had the lemoniest lemon sorbet EVER with vodka poured over it. It was all so delicious and welcoming and beautiful.

Wanting to have an early dinner so that we could go to sleep after 19 hours of flight time and two…read morehours of transit time, we were dismayed to find that dinner is only served at 7. So we waited at la cordee for the clock to literally strike 7pm before we could even get our menus. In the meantime, we ordered coffees and a mulled wine. My cappucino which was awful cost 3.50 and had an equivalent cost to my friends mulled wine in the tiniest wine glass imaginable. My friends hot chocolates with an espresso shot (so a mocha) cost 3.10. In Australia a hot chocolate would have cost more than a coffee. While I waited, I noticed the wooden tables and chairs with the chairs having a heart each in their headrest. There are numerous white bears hanging around the restaurant and two framed photos of donkeys?! For our meals, I ordered the garden salad with goats cheese filo for 13.00. My friends ordered the cheese fondue that comes with potato, bacon and mushroom (15 euros) and the risotto with foie gras, pigeon meat and scallops (23 euros). We also got complimentary bread. The salad came in this massive bowl with large lettuce leaves, cherry tomatoes, apple slices, sliced almond, lots of bits of bacon, piece of star fruit and three goats cheese filo parcels. The salad is coated in balsamic vinegar. The salad was delicious. The tomatoes juicy, the lettuce leaves fresh, the filo pastry was deliciously crispy and the goats cheese just melted in my mouth. And I had my first taste of the star fruit. It is so perfectly shaped like a star. Nature is full of surprises! A satisfying meal indeed. My friends fondue dish was very hearty with lots of potato cubes, crispy cheese, melted cheese, mushroom, and large bits of bacon. It was different to the generic kind of Swiss fondue. This fondue is specific to this region. My friend also enjoyed his risotto dish. The presentation and taste of the food were excellent but I have to admit the Swiss are probably not known for their service. They refuse to make eye contact, are too busy chatting to their acquaintances, and take your order when they feel like it.

Ate here on New Year's Eve. They had a prix fixe menu, which was €135 per person and we felt robbed…read moreand starving when we left. The ambiance was very nice and the staff were very friendly but the food was absolutely bad and very small portions. And the €135 did not include any drinks. The soup was in a shot glass, the oysters were old and dry, the foie gras was raw, the veal and lobster was boring and the dessert was some sort of Asian macaroons with burnt sesame seeds that tasted like a mouth full of nothing. Really feel robbed.

Delicious. The ingredients were high quality, the different…read moreitems on the menu were very original and in sync with the Savoie traditions. It is pricy and the portions are very small: classic French restaurant! I ordered the almond trout. The sauce was very good, however there wasn't enough rice and ratatouille. For dessert, I tried the deconstructed blueberry pie: please order it!! The decor was fun: faux fur in the toilets with a fake bear head on the wall. Downstairs, in the summer time, you can eat outside by the mountain river. It's beautiful. Finally, it was my nephew's first birthday, they put a candle on his dessert and gave us a printed photo of us in memory of this day. It is very thoughtful and shows they care about their customers.
