Wow, what can I say about this place except that I had one of my most memorable meals ever. The restaurant has a cafeteria style section for those having a quick lunch, and a more formal seated area with table service. We were lucky enough to be seated in a private seating area with a small fireplace lounge and table for about 10 people. While we didn't have outside views it was a quiet area where we could remove or boots and relax for an incredible meal.
Let me start by saying this is not an inexpensive place. Our group of 7 people rang up a bill of just over 700 euro for a full meal including a couple of bottles of great wine. Totally worth it though.
We started with an award winning pate recommended by our waiter. I'm not a big fan of pate, but maybe because I've never had anything like this before. A description of this treat defies me as it was a mixture of pate and foie gras sandwiched between an incredibly flaky pastry with other stuff? I have it in a picture so you'll have to take a look. We also had some prawns with orange/caramel sauce that were also amazing.
They have a number of "shared" meals for two, so our group took advantage of it and ordered fish (Turbot I believe), suckling pig shoulder, and a beef rib that was more like a bone-in steak. All were delicious but my favorite was the beef, it was perfectly cooked with an amazing rub. We finished everything up with a marshmallow plate they brought out and some coffee as we had to start our way back to Val d'isere.
Overall an extremely memorable meal and experience I will absolutely hope to repeat again someday. read more
