Flora Mikula, new chef at Alpes Hôtel du Pralong
Chef Flora Mikula signs off on the restaurant offer at the Alpes Hôtel du Pralong in Courchevel. Bourgeois cuisine but also mountain dishes are in the spotlight.
After a three-year break, the Alpes Hôtel du Pralong in Courchevel has reopened its doors. The establishment, redesigned from top to bottom by the Dokhan Luxury Hotels group, welcomes a new chef, Flora Mikula, in charge of the various dining areas.
A varied offering for all tastes
The chef, who has just been promoted to Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, expresses all her talent in a superb setting in the heart of the 3 Vallées domain. She writes the menu for Le Musher, a restaurant with around a hundred indoor seats, as well as a panoramic terrace seating over 100.
Open seven days a week, the restaurant welcomes guests from breakfast to dinner, with a wide selection of à la carte dishes: mountain specialties (fondue, crozet gratin, hot truffle vacherin, etc.), bourgeois cuisine (artichoke vinaigrette, pot-au-feu, blanquette de veau) or even a soup bar... There's something for everyone. "Many hotels in Courchevel have two or even three restaurants. We've chosen to have just one, but one that caters for all tastes. Some guests are here for a week, so we have to offer them something varied. So, when we welcome large tables, everyone is free to eat what they like," stresses Flora Mikula, adding that some exceptional products are also on the menu, such as the fine scallop tart with truffles or the lobster salad.
On the terrace, skiers can sit around a giant brazier to enjoy remarkable cuts of meat, such as Tomahawk prime rib or rosemary pork. For dessert or snacks, Flora Mikula focuses on a huge buffet of pastries, offering classics such as tarte tatin, mille-feuille and île flottante aux pralines roses. "I have five pastry chefs on my team, and we make everything ourselves, from brioches to cakes. There isno dessert on the plate", explains the chef.
Last but not least, the Alpes Hôtel du Pralong is also home to a Champagne, Salmon and Caviar Bar, which comes alive at dusk in a cosy jazz atmosphere!
