Restaurant du Miroir d'Argentine

Such a pity that the two brothers are selling this place and their daughters don't want to take it on. The new owners will have a fund of goodwill to build on. We had Chestnut and squash soup followed by escalope of pork and our...two friends had venison followed by Strawberry Mille Fileur. It looked lovely but hiking round l'Argentine beckoned. Come here next spring, check out the new owners and walk. Its spectacular.

This restaurant is run and staffed by an extended family who treat you as if you are personal guests. The setting is idyllic, after a beautiful drive we arrived to the sound of bells which came from a herd of goats making their way down...the hillside. The scenery is stunning, the chalet restaurant beautiful. Your charming host details the menu by drawings on the menu or table mats, everything has interesting features which he illustrates for you. Several starters and desserts are available as standard or small portions, so that you have every chance to try all courses. Even the bread is so tasty you have to remind yourself to leave room for the delights to come. Altogether a special occasion, not inexpensive by any means, but so worth it.

The site and natural surroundings are beautiful, and when you enter in the restaurant, you are welcomed like a family member, with warmth and a lovely sense of humour. The food is perfect in every way, with a varied menu. Most of all, the products used are top notch: they pick the mushrooms and berries themselves, for instance. It's also possible to have half portions of some entrees, which I found was a good idea (leaves some space for dessert). I highly recommend it. And the good news is that the same family will still be here in 2017!

After a long walk, we decided to stop at the Miroir. lthough there were no dairy free options which I found disappointing, the service was good and they offered to make me a meal I could eat. They made me polenta with wild mushrooms and broccoli. The mushrooms were some of the best ive ever had. The bread baskets they offer are good too as they are filled with various types of delicious fresh bread. The ambience was great with a warm log fire and open kitchen.
