Chez Nous, avec Vous

After 8 years of loyal service with the Edmond de Rothschild Héritage group and 2 Michelin stars in Megève, chef Julien Gatillon decided to take flight and open his first restaurant with his partner Sonia Torland last season, called Nous! An innovative concept that can accommodate from 2 to 12 guests in a chalet located on the famous Mont d'Arbois hill. The room is inviting, with a breathtaking view of Megève and some cosy corners to enjoy an aperitif by the fire. The tableware was designed by Julien and created by a ceramic artist from Spain.

Price: from €200 for a personalised menu

Chalet Mignod, like at home

Nestled at an altitude of 1670 m at the Col des Saisies, the Piccard family's alpine chalet awaits you. Still in its original state, blue-green walls welcome a Savoyard decoration, chicken feeders, wooden skis. A whole universe where you feel immediately at home. And of course, the menu includes regional specialities, a pure delight at very reasonable prices!

Price: 13 € for the main course, 7 € for the dessert

La Cucùcina: the new chic Italian address in Val d'Isère

The setting will alredy seduce you. With an incredible high ceiling, inspired by the workshops of Italian renaissance artists, marble, bricks, wood, mosaics, busts and sculptures, monumental staircase and mezzanine: La Cucùcina (part of La Folie Douce) is worthy of a theatre set! When, in addition, you have a direct view of the Mont Blanc, you're in! On your plate, you will find a whole range of modern and authentic transalpine cuisine, directly from renowned Italian producers. Concocted by a 100% Italian team, it's a safe bet that that you will be seduced the Italian way! For those who want to prolong this pleasure, these tasty dishes can be found at the new La Folie Douce grocery shop in Les Arcs 1800.

Bambini: trattoria for grown up children

La dolce vita at an altitude of over a thousand metres! Warm colours such as red and fir green, wood and thick fabrics, embroidered with mountain motifs. Whether you are coming back from a hike in the sun or from a beautiful day of skiing, in the evening, Bambini is the place to be in Megève. The best of Italian mountain cuisine! You'll love the creamy polenta with mushrooms, the Italian cheese fondues and the fillet of beef with Barolo.

Le Panoramic: the highest starred table in the world

Nestled at more than 3000m, at the foot of the Grande Motte glacier and accessible by funicular or by the slopes, the Panoramic restaurant in Tigne offers a generous and tasty cuisine, with fish and meat, always cooked over a wood fire and enhanced by a subtle blend of juices. The black Baltic rib of beef with its potato mousseline is in itself emblematic of the restaurant. The impressive dessert buffet will leave the gourmets dreaming ... After a Michelin star for their restaurant Ursus in Tignes, the father and son duo Jean-Michel and Clément Bouvier have won a new star with the Panoramic. A family affair on the move!

The Maya Altitude: temple of alpine delicacies

Located at the top of the Tougnète chairlift, between Méribel and Saint Martin de Belleville, the Maya Altitude, at an altitude of 2400 m, offers one of the most panoramic terraces! In the middle of all this white, we like the joyful mix of pop seats with fun colours. And this same fantasy continues inside, with a masterful lounge with large red benches and a festival of mix & match prints. With Michelin-starred chef Akrame Benallal at the stove, you'll be enjoying top-of-the-range brasserie cuisine!
