L'Auberge de Montmin

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative

Forclaz Pass (1 147m) is not just a paradise for paragliders, but also for fine food lovers, thanks to this restaurant, which has been refurbished and extended without losing its snug Alpine appeal. Chef Florian Favario adds an increasingly creative spin to cuisine based on the best of local produce (eg lamb and piglets, home-grown vegetables, seasonal fruit). He masterfully combines wildflowers, plants and herbs, such as thyme, sage, oregano, agastache, hyssop, mint flower etc. The resulting feast of extraordinary scents elevates dishes that are already at the apex of culinary technique and k

Bib Gourmand 1

Le Confidentiel

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

This restaurant – one of many (including some real juggernauts!) surrounding the lake – proves that good things come in small packages. In a compact dining area, you can enjoy dish after dish that is absolutely on point with its bold flavours, such as low-temperature egg, celery and pear, or hake, vegetable noodles and ginger-lemongrass broth. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. It really is love at first bite... Now that you're in on the secret, you know what to do!

Bec

€€Modern Cuisine

At this restaurant, Brice (the chef) and Élodie Collon (his wife) bring you modern cuisine in the form of a menu-carte revolving around Savoie ingredients: lake trout, escargot and pike, in particular, but not forgetting the optional foie gras, monkfish and veal sweetbreads for a small extra charge. The result is tiptop dishes packed with flavour, such as Mont Charvin pork pluma with polenta and barbecue sauce.
