"again thanks to monique and theo that we were welcomed in their restaurant. we really ate well and the value ratio was surprised! a meal worthy of a starry at the price of a Parisian brasserie. Not only are quality dishes also professionalism, smiles, service, advice, good plans that you have shared us that will stay engraved and have made us start and finish our stay in châtel in beauty! Thanks again! The four young chocolate makers. I'll see you soon!"

"Excellent restaurant we highly recommend! Very nice discovery. For 31 euros (which is very reasonable given the very high quality of the products) the menu we had refined and delicate dishes that we had never had the opportunity to taste. Everything is done at home with ice cream. The welcome is warm and the setting is beautiful. Undeniably, we will return. Bravo to the whole team, in the kitchen and in the bedroom. PS: Potatoes jumped were extraordinary, what is your secret?!"

"Voilà un endroit ou les pizzas sont de très bonnes qualités. La carte offre un très grand choix ou chacun peu trouver son bonheur. Notre serveuse était charmante et au petit soin sans être trop présente. Très bon rapport qualité /prix (de 8€ à 11,50€). Une salle avec une décoration simple qui manque peut être un peu chaleur."

": go to the carnotzet (cave in savoyard), the 2nd restaurant in the hotel where you will be served the typical cheese dishes of the region but also (and above all) the butcher's plate: delicious meats (beef, duck, lamb) served on a still noisy cast plate (the butter melts in front of your eyes). all of this in a typical setting of an old Savoyard farm (we also see the homemade hams dried behind a glass). Very copious: a pity that it is not opened also at noon"

"We came here for the food as we had seen recipes from a book that originated here and the food is well prepared, quality ingredients and cooked well. Let's deal with the service first as it can set you off on the wrong foot, put bluntly the front of house is like being greeted by a Parisian waiter, we felt they were so well booked there was no need to be so nice. So that aside, to the food.... We took an amazing terrine and an even more amazing pressé. The terrine was meaty and moist served with a clever selection of salads, the pressé with Guinea fowl and foie gras was even better, with a clever lentil side and a superb fig-sticky-jam concoction. We took two main courses, a saddle roll of rabbit and stuffing, the sauce accompanying was delicious. We also had the fillet de bœuf rossini style, the meat was soft and cooked exactly as ordered, the fried foie gras just crispy on the outside, the sauce was served nearly cold but on a hot plate, a small error. More vegetables would have been nice but a tasty plate. Our main reason for the visit was to have the baked ice cream dessert they called a Norwegian omelette, on the menu it advised it was a minimum of four persons so we both had a little cry, at the end the lady we think is the head waiter advised if we call in advance they will make it for two. A reason to return! She did though advise another dessert cooked a similar way so we had that, a Vacherin I think the name was, meringue around layered ice cream, it was excellent and we strongly recommend keeping space for at least a share dessert here. Wine selection is wide and some decent half bottles so we were able to have a good white (local Crepy) with the starters and a St Emillion with the main. So go in with a big smile and enjoy the food which is for sure the best in La Chapelle (and we did eat in the Ensoleillé too) and don't worry about the service too much. And finally, my wife took the terrine and the rabbit plus a cheese course (a great selection from a rolling luge trolley) for 26 euros all in, ridiculously good value so do spot the deals."
