On the main square in the heart of Megève, next to the church, this former priory was transformed into a restaurant back in 1930. Today, in a cosy alpine setting, Emmanuel Renaut offers his take on the traditional bistro repertoire : mountain cheese tart, ravioli with vegetable consommé, beef tartare, perch from the lake... The establishment also boasts a spacious terrace.
