I was brought to Le Relais de la Chevrette by locals, family actually, and if it were not for them, I would not have endured the snowy night and the small roads to come to what was promised to be "the best fondue of my life." But the reservation was made days in advance, and I'm a sucker for anyone making the mention of cheese and/or wine, so snow we endured and drive we did. And man-oh-man was it worth it! Raclette, fondue, and meats - seared table-side - as far as the eye can see and nose can smell. Oh yeah, you will be smelling of cheese when you leave this place - hair, sweaters, everything. This isn't the type of place you come if you want to be keeping appearances on a date. I mean, you're shoveling piles of molten cheese into your mouth as quickly as you can spear a cube of bread. Aside from the cheese and the meat (and the more cheese), the service is great - friendly, attentive (shout out to my NYC friend who overheard my American accent across the sea of native Frenchmen), and ambiance is as you would expect in an overcrowded, overheated alpine cheese hall (I mean that in the most lovingly way possible).

It's a weekday evening at 8:15pm and as I arrive I see how quaint this small restaurant is and anticipate how good this dinner will be. There are 10 or 12 tables and only 3 tables are being used. I ask the bartender for a table (in French) and he rudely asks "did you make a reservation?" I said no. He said "sorry we are full". I look at the 9 open tables and wondered what was going on. I politely left but if he could have heard my thoughts! There are many other great little places in Evians. Pass.

I had an avocado mousse / shrimp / mesculin appetizer that was cool and heavenly and then main course was a local fish (from lac geneve) wrapped around saumon.

The hotel itself has gorgeous architecture and painted domes but the view is truly something else! You get a nice view of the hotel's vast green spaces along with a wide view of Lake Geneve. I came here with a party of six and was seated quickly. We all ordered the duck foie gras, and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend it as your starter although it is a bit filling. For my main course, I ordered the pasta with caviar. As an American, I didn't care for the al dente pasta, but the sauce and the taste were very rich. The fish with hazelnut butter is was smooth and tender. I give this place a four star rating for amazing views and good service, but food that, while yummy, wasn't outstanding. Foie gras can be bought and eaten out of a can, and the steak my family ordered was overcooked.
