What arrived at the table looked less like six identical meals and more like a butcher’s lucky dip. Each one cooked differently. Not artistically differently. Accidentally differently. As for texture, I have known ski boots with a gentler bite. One of them could have patched a puncture. Another required the jaw strength of a dockworker. Not one of them was what you would call enjoyable. We mentioned, politely, that the steaks were not exactly edible. The floor manager reacted as if we had insulted the entire farming industry. Instead of a simple apology, we got the full routine. Defensive. Dismissive. Slightly theatrical. What followed felt less like customer service and more like a negotiation with a Venetian bead merchant who’s spotted a tourist. Lots of talking. Lots of shrugging. A bit of “this is how it’s meant to be”. You could almost see the script being flicked through in his head. After far more back and forth than a steak dinner deserves, we managed to get two refunded. Two out of six. The rest, apparently, were fine in their eyes. Funny that. By then we were bored of it. Left hungry, slightly stitched up, and wondering how a restaurant manages to get steak that wrong. The only saving grace is that this was the one and only bad meal we had in Morzine. Everywhere else was excellent. So enjoy the town there’s plenty of good choices . Give this place a wide berth unless you fancy a chewing marathon.. 1 Finishing on a positive- I do have to give our server a mention .. he was very kind and great fun before the show began.

A group of us went for what was supposed to be a straightforward, reliable dinner. Nothing adventurous. No molecular gastronomy. Just classic dishes that countless kitchens manage perfectly well every single day. Apparently, that was already asking too much. The meals arrived with all the consistency of a raffle draw. Same items ordered, yet each plate looked like it had been prepared by a different person in a different decade, with only a vague description passed between them. Gratin dauphinois was more fondue with small suggestions of potato, peppercorn sauce was all cream no peppercorns The steaks we ordered were like nothing I've experienced texture was a particular highlight. As much as I love the versatility of oxen from hides to steaks there are only certain cuts suitable for for the dining table. Alpine Lodge seems to think chewing down on a firm leather hide as a delicacy I do not share the same fervour for dining on that part of the cow. It was less dining, more sensory confusion. When we raised this — calmly, I might add — the response was astonishing. Not concern. Not even polite indifference. Instead, we were treated to a masterclass in defensiveness, as though we had personally offended the chef’s ancestry. There was a lot of explaining, very little listening, and absolutely no sense that customer satisfaction had entered the building at any point. Attempts to resolve things dragged on far longer than the meal itself. Every simple point required discussion, consultation, and what felt like an internal tribunal. You’d think we were disputing a property boundary rather than asking why dinner was inedible. Eventually, a partial concession was made, seemingly as a gesture of exhaustion rather than goodwill. By that stage, we’d lost our appetites and most of our enthusiasm for humanity. We left underfed, overcharged, and baffled that a place dedicated to serving food could appear so surprised when asked to do it well. There are plenty of places nearby that understand the basics: cook the food properly, treat people decently, and don’t argue with the table. Try one of those instead. Rotonde was by far our favourite One star. Generous, if anything.

We ate there twice during our stay. The only slight drawback was that it was very noisy because the dining room was full and some customers, especially the English, were quite loud. Thank you, we will be back.
