拉克莱德香酒店

By a winding road through the Bauges mountains, this establishment is the epitome of a country village inn whose recently refurbished wood-rich chic interior pays tribute to the surrounding countryside. Romain Bonnier works with local produce and a veggie-centric ethos, without forgetting meat and fish from the lake. His delicate mousse of catfish with spinach and his fragrant tartlet of crunchy white asparagus are packed with flavour, while his Chartreuse lamb cooked several ways is in a class of its own.

In the heart of Chambéry, this establishment is a hit courtesy of its leafy terrace, shaded by a fig tree that is a genuine haven of peace and quiet in the city centre.

In a suitably classy setting, the chef crafts a “carte blanche” menu inspired by the seasons and travel, together with a simpler lunchtime score. Depending on your mood, choose from the sun-drenched terrace shaded by stylish white parasols or an immersive experience overlooking the kitchen.

In the Bauges Mountains, an unspoilt natural haven, this contemporary hotel has a lovely restaurant run by a young chef who has both technique and ideas. He throws himself into his work to get the best out of the Val d'Aillon terroir: vegetable garden, cooperative cheese, farm lamb, wild herbs... The menu changes regularly.
