The best restaurants Savoie

Another beautiful terrace in the sun that attracts like a magnet, but which you will have to give up if you take a Savoyard dish requiring a stove. Never mind, we can have an aperitif outside, waiting for Chief Gregory's Matouille to be ready, about 20 minutes. Everything is homemade, so it's only natural that some dishes take time. Then installation inside, in a large room with large windows overlooking the mountains. A Chamois d'Or starter with raw ham, reblochon and walnuts... A hearty and succulent Matouille, served with a whole tome des Bauges, as it should be (since it is a typical recipe of the Bauges massif). In other words, the generous proportions imply having a great hunger when you arrive or an idea to digest a little when you leave. By saving a place for the homemade dessert of the day, we succumbed to the millefeuille, which was not only delicious but also very generous, although the tiramisu was also very tempting. After such a meal, going back to the heart of the resort on foot to get some exercise instead of taking the treadmill seems the best option. A warm welcome and a really pleasant service for a visit at the end of the winter season.

Just opposite the train station, on the one hand, a Chinese restaurant, in the back room, a large Japanese restaurant with different scenery and atmosphere. You can choose according to your wishes. For the first version, traditional Chinese cuisine with delicious squid squid and spicy squid. Lovers of raw fish will prefer the Japanese side. The big eaters will opt for a special Patio menu. It's hard to eat everything, so it's rich. But ask, the cook prepares a doggy bag to take and finish at home. The fish is very fresh and the ginger that accompanies it is delicious. A sale of Chinese dishes to take makes it possible to eat at home, at the office or in the train a light and better kitchen than the SNCF sandwiches.

Let yourself be told stories by Clarisse Brun, this beautiful Martinique, former KL champion (kilometre launched). In its small restaurant, a red and white atmosphere or on the magnificent terrace, it offers Savoyard cuisine or islands. We start with a patronne's planter, it heats up! There is no hesitation between the salads, the melted ones, and the conveyors of cod, served with salad, the shredded and ferocious carrot of avocado. Warm! A friendly and friendly establishment.

The white stopover is a brasserie proposing a traditional cuisine. To make a stopover with the return of a walk or between two ski slopes. One comes there to drink a drink or to eat a piece until very late. On the à la carte you will have the typical mountain specialties. But we noted one T Bone of veal and its sauce with ceps, a plate "coconut I maë" with pineapple, skewer of cured ham and cheese, soup, salmon smoked, smoked duck breast, beef tartare and crudités. The foie gras are house, the salads are done small or large, the tiramisu dessert is made by the chef and we cracked for a fondue with the chocolate.

The traditional cuisine of Larch is simple: snack, Savoyard salad, French fries… Above all, we come to this high-altitude restaurant to enjoy its sun terrace and its "bubble". The service is fast and efficient while remaining friendly and attentive to customer expectations. No wonder the place is so popular. Fortunately there is no space and it is always possible to find a free table.

Pizza Chic delights us with its generous and well-rounded pizzas. A paste made in their workshops, a cooking on-site on the order. Soon, go home to eat it hot and the evening meal is prepared at a glance. You can call to order and just arrive at the oven exit.

The Valentino........... Located on one side of the hospital in the direction of Cognin, it can be quickly restored at midday. In the evening, we will take more time. A Valentino offering hearty, thick pizza with a green salad and a green salad. On the menu also, nappées pasta of different sauces, pancakes, pancakes… We opted for a caquelon from Saint-Jacques to the fondue of leek and a frangipane to flambées flambées in front of you. A homemade kitchen, desserts made by the boss, a pleasant and colourful setting, a friendly welcome, for a normal addition.

The feet in the water, the small beach of Chindrieux offers a quiet corner. The restaurant is located on the beach opposite the moored boat. You are at the end of the lake, in a singular axis. Your eyes go to the Belledonne in the distance. Some boats are moored, a small beach with its Restaurant. An establishment with a glass roof open to fine days. The moon crosses the lake, a home cocktail gives it. These are the fish of the lake (real), a crisp of vierge sauce, a trout soufflé at the Chambérienne, the frying of Lake Bourget, a back of affectionately roasted hazelnuts with hazelnuts, a homemade beef tartar, a Tatin pie that the waiter, smiling and welcoming, announces as wonderful, all sprinkled with a pleasant Saint Joseph. Last advice, go in the evening for a more romantic dinner, far from tourists.

It is in the heart of Challes-les-Eaux, a stone's throw from the tourist office, that the Sushiko restaurant recently opened its doors. A smiling welcome and a small friendly room await you to taste homemade sushi, makis and sashimi by the minute. The menu proposals and trays are varied and can be taken away for lunch or dinner. We liked the duo tray, the freshness of the fish and the choice of 4 hot dishes suggested for sushi lovers. A good price-quality ratio, an address to follow...

You can eat on the spot, but there is little room and, above all, take you to your home, to the office, to the edge of the lake or to the first bench that turns your arms.
