Yannick Alléno has trodden a remarkable path! At one great restaurant after another, the chef from the Paris region has always been adept at channelling his passion into fulfilling his ambition.

The Savoie region is shown in its best light through his use of superb ingredients, each of these edible treasures being prepared with the greatest care. This chef's true passion are his sauces

In an exclusive setting comprising just four tables, Sylvestre Wahid serves only around 15 lucky guests per sitting. This tailor-made culinary interlude is built around the chef's signature dishes, which he reinterprets at this ski resort location according to his inspiration – think Roscoff crab or a lemon and seaweed dessert. In an open kitchen where he is assisted by his trusted team, the chef displays a marvellous sense of daring, masterfully pairing lobster and crab with ingredients typical of Pakistani cuisine – spices, chilli and lemon acar pickles, lentil dahl etc. Magnificent produce,

Gifted pastry chef Sébastien Vauxion takes guests on a unique journey (with a formula that proved to be trendsetting). His modern, inventive cuisine puts fruit and vegetables centre stage – in fact, this is vegetarian, only without hammering home the point. His highly refined creations are based on complex flavours, each ingredient enhanced by aromatic herbs, spices, citrus fruits and dairy products. Jerusalem artichoke ravioli and cranberries, brown stock and beurre rosé; pan-fried bulbous-rooted chervil with Bauges saffron, sea-buckthorn jus flavoured with orpiment: his "cuisine pâtissière"

Courchevel, the quintessence of Alpine luxury since 1947, is an exclusive ski resort where nothing is too grand or too posh! In this plush, stylish chalet, talented chef Thomas Prod'homme, who trained at L'Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence, elegantly slaloms between local ingredients, winter flavours and Provençal inspirations. Guided by his memories and personal tastes, he produces high-precision cuisine and does not shy away from presenting bold flavours or comforting, indulgent fare. You can also sense that the chef likes to have fun with his cooking, taking pleasure in the eleme

This luxurious hotel with a cosy, elegant interior sporting thick pile carpeting, coffered ceilings, immaculate-white designer seats and modern tables with smoked glass tops is emblematic of the resort.

Le Chabichou, led by Chef Stéphane Buron, offers modern French cuisine with Japanese influences. Most reviewers praise the exquisite, balanced dishes and artistic presentation, describing menus like "The Walk" as sensory journeys. Service is generally warm and attentive, set within an elegant atmosphere. However, some negative feedback highlights slow pacing during certain meals and disappointment regarding value or changes after the previous chef's departure. While the majority experience high-quality gastronomy, a minority find the execution lacking or the ambiance less charming than before. It remains a notable destination for those seeking refined, creative dining.
Ideal for diners seeking refined French-Japanese fusion cuisine; verify pacing expectations beforehand.

In Le K2 Altitude Hotel, this restaurant is snugly set in a chic Alpine-style decor with an exclusive vibe. The spot-on service is top-notch.

Flavour and generosity are the order of the day, and that also applies to the subtle, modern desserts by Sébastien Vauxion.

In this luxury chalet hotel in the heart of the resort, L'Ekrin is a cosy cocoon with furnishings and tableware designed down to the smallest detail (the crockery was specially created by a ceramist from Thônes).
