Flocons de Sel

★★★ Michelin5 toques€€€€Modern Cuisine

Emmanuel Renaut fell in love with Haute Savoie as a child, long before achieving his Meilleur Ouvrier de France title, and his predilection for Alpine produce is deeply ingrained (pike, char and whitefish from Lake Geneva, mushrooms and wild herbs, mountain cheeses). At times he has fun subverting the regional cooking that is expected of him – a case in point being his superb langoustines marinated in citron, caviar with zesty grapefruit and gentian roots. Plants are also given an increasingly important role in his cuisine. An enchanting high-altitude chalet at the summit of fine dining.

Flocons de Sel is renowned for its modern, inventive cuisine, with many reviewers praising the refined flavors and professional, attentive service. The spacious dining room offers an elegant atmosphere. However, some guests criticize the high cost relative to value, citing unremarkable dishes or service lapses.
