Bib Gourmand 1

Le Muratore

Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine

The Muratore house is named after its former owner, a liquor-maker and confectioner. It stands on a pedestrian street of Évian overlooking an exquisite square with a fountain in its centre. Now a restaurant, it is in the hands of Marc Serres, who crafts wholesome regional fare. The menu is sensibly priced and the à la carte range stars noble ingredients, including fish from the lake, without forgetting a few hearty classics from Lyons. Shaded by a linden tree, the terrace is bliss in summertime.
