We were told that we were too late to have the 4 course menu so just ordered a main course each and a dessert....Food was ok although the menu was not as good as previous visits and quite pricey. What annoyed us was at the end of the evening(not late), we were shoved out the door literally pushed. Annoying as we had spent a lot of money on wine as well and left a good tip. We will not return. There are a lot of restaurants in Chatel with better food, service and more reasonable prices.

The host did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our little one. Very friendly helpful guy. Lunch was really nice and served really efficiently. Hidden gem...is their little terrace at the back of the restaurant with a stunning view on the valley. Amazing!

In the entrance, the perfect egg was nothing but a poached egg (not casting for any of the 4 plates) placed on a slice of applatie mozza. we noticed that the people next to them had taken a perfect egg in the cheaper menu at 35€ and the presentation had nothing to have! (a lot more caring) the leaned chicken with the pennes was pretty good, and the chocolate intermet was a little too simple. Around 1pm, the restaurant began to fill up and the menu of the day was immediately removed from the entrance, coincidence?! The restaurant's menu is very disappointing because very few choices and you are almost forced to take a more expensive menu.The waitresses were not very acceularating. In summary, very disappointed by this restaurant so well noted on tripadvisor.

The leek and garlic soup was excellent. We had the duck and lamb which were very...well cooked. Chocolate dessert was also very tasty and well presented. Overall, quality well cooked meal and would go back.

The lobster and crayfish entree was 3/4 squirts cream. The veal was very nice. The bill was slammed down and restaurant...was cold. Not great.
