The restaurant had moved upmarket somewhat, and we had a great raclette here Eu70 for 2 generous chunk of cheese and sides. As the waiter drily remarked when he cleared, so...the cheese wins again...

Great food, great service and a fair price. Thanks very much. read more Great food, great service and a fair price. Thanks very much.

The staff light the gas flames on the table and provide blankets to keep you toasty on snowy days (we had 2 of those). The vin chaud is delicious the kids loved the hot chocolate with mountains of whipped cream. Husband and I shared the same fabulous goats cheese and fig salad each day...with a Romane pizza. The kids loved the pizza and the burgers (ask well done as medium is raw pink inside) great vibe here to enjoy. Most waiters were great there was a larger, older man who was a tad abrupt but special mention must go to fabulous Alexis and Pierre Emmanuel...who are alas leaving to set up their own restaurant in Estaing...we will check them out in CHEZ MON PERe! Best of luck guys

Service is slick and polite, even on the busiest of days and the place has a really good atmosphere without being too rowdy. I ate there twice both times everyone enjoyed their food. The restaurant has a modern feel which makes a welcome change to some of the more old fashioned looking places and the menu has a good selection of old favourites along with plenty of different dishes which you can’t get elsewhere which can come as a welcome relief after a week of cookie cutter menus of pizza, raclette, fondue and tartiflette for lunch and dinner. Crepes on the terrace at tea time are good value for money and tasty. Price wise, it isn’t cheap…but then nothing is around here. If you want to eat out, you have to pay up and the quality of the food here was certainly better than in other places I ate in for the same price. They do get booked up days in advance though, so if you want to go, make sure you reserve a table.
