Perfect place! Friendly service, tasteful food, good price! Highly recommend it! We stopped on the way back from the mountains, it’s right by the highway… so you don’t loose time either.

Really good food, amazing desserts, and friendly service. A great stop for lunch on the way up or down the mountain. Nice terrace as well.

Terrific Gastronomie. I thought we had turned up at a burger cafe. But I was so wrong. It's high end regional cuisine with flare. The ambiance is modern, a little eclectic, but warm and very popular with the locals. The staff were wonderful, but do try out your French language skills. I love the food (exceptional quality) served in jars. The wine was brilliant too. Absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Original restaurant where everything is served in a "bocal" (a jar in French). The food was quite good. They serve beer from La Brasserie du Mont Blanc. The service is good but one of the waiter was a bit too rough in my opinion.

We loved visiting this restaurant, exceptional service and very friendly to our kids! Steak frites was lovely and the burger with raclette cheese was amazing. They went above and beyond for my daughter with a booster chair and a pink napkin!

Hidden gem off of the freeway in Albertville. We were pleasantly surprised by the meals offered in glass bowls that are warmed up for service. Absolutely delicious lamb tagine, perfectly cheesy and smoky croziflette, fresh crisp salad. Friendly service and they accommodated our one year old well. Perfect stop for lunch on the way to the Alps!!
