From the threshold of this listed 19C farmhouse, you can see Mont Blanc on the horizon. With its mountain-style interior (wood panelling, whitewashed walls, parquet flooring) and traditional cuisine by Florent Meyer (who has worked with Flocons de Sel chef Emmanuel Renaut), the restaurant is an instant hit… This is thanks, in particular, to the vin jaune sauce that envelops the delicious free-range chicken supreme, or the moreish tartiflette with a nod to the village's terroir – a signature starter. Plus a warm welcome awaits you!

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.

On the menu, traditional cuisine is given free rein, in dishes such as slow-cooked egg, lentils, smoked diot (pork sausages from the regional repertoire) and a bacon emulsion, or beef bourguignon.

In the heart of the resort, this eatery shines the spotlight on seasonal, sometimes local ingredients, such as Magland snails. The chef conjures up well-crafted dishes, like free-range poached egg flanked by sweet chestnuts and creamy squash, or melt-in-the-mouth chuck beef stew that is eaten with a spoon. The chalet-inspired dining room, divided in two by a small open-plan kitchen, is the quintessence of alpine charm, in particular due to the shelves loaded in bottles (the establishment is also a wine merchant).

This long-established inn stands by a bridge spanning the gorge – the Chéran River flows a few hundred metres below! A native of the area, the chef likes to work with regional ingredients he sources from local producers. Even amateur mushroom foragers are welcome to offer up their pick of the day. His squash risotto, fricassee of shiitake, polypore and oyster mushrooms is a prime example of his culinary style, which is geared toward plants and vegetables and the interplay of textures. A "discovery menu" made up of several courses is available in the evening and at weekends. Appealing lunchtime
