La Bouitte Restaurant, St Martin de Belleville interior

1. La Bouitte Restaurant

Location
Saint-Martin-de-Belleville

Working hand in hand with their loyal staff, day after day, the duo René, Marie-Louise, Maxime and Sophie Meilleur compose subtle gastronomic scores in the idyllic setting of their Savoyard chalet.

The self taught father and son team, Réne & Maxime, has developed a creative and subtle cuisine, genuine and irreverent, which draws inspiration from the culinary traditions of Savoie while paying homage to them. They combine authentic surroundings with an avant-garde exploration of cooking and wine.

Their signature dishes include Escalope of duck foie gras with corn galette, Savoyard honey, vegetable crumbs and a reduction of vinegar, Fera fish with fresh butter, sorrel carrots and acidic sabayon, or 'milk in all its states: meringue, confiture, sorbet, biscuits...'

The two dining rooms, and the table d'hote (communal dining area) are warm and welcoming. The kitchen, table service and hospitality are led by a team of two. Marie-Louise, René's wife, is the hostess, while her daughter-in-law Delphine, Maxime's wife, is the maitre d'hotel.

Open from early December to the end of April and from mid-June to early September.

Le Diamant Noir Restaurant, Val Thorens interior

2. Le Diamant Noir Restaurant

Location
Val Thorens

Gourmet restaurant in a fabulous location with a Michelin starred chef. 

The setting of this restaurant alone makes it worth a visit, located at the top of Val Thorens in the Hotel Kohinor, the large bay windows and panoramic terrace provide stunning views of the resort and surrounding peaks.

If the views don't take your breath away then the food most certainly will. The inventive cuisine of Michelin starred chef, Eric Samson, is focused on preparing delicious dishes, all beautifully presented, but not with everyday produce. For example, he prepares a whole range of plates entirely dedicated to black truffles and also uses a wide range of aromatic plants and mountain herbs in his refined but creative winter menus.

Open for lunch and dinner with a daily changing specials menu in addition to the à la carte options.

Worth noting is that at lunchtime, most restaurants will offer a well-priced 'Plat du Jour' (dish of the day), normally consisting of locally sourced meat, potatoes and a salad or seasonal vegetables. Most, if not all of the restaurants in resort are child friendly, especially if you let them know in advance. Evening meals are normally served from 19:00, and the restaurants are quieter at this time than later on.
