Gault&Millau's review

15.5/20
Remarkable Restaurant Emmanuel Renaut's passion for summits is well known. No wonder he took over the Auberge du Bois Prin from the Carrier family a few years ago. Facing Mont-Blanc, it's hard not to get caught up in this widescreen view, from the Chamonix peaks to the roof of Europe. This is a new expedition for the chef, who has chosen a local boy as his leader: Quentin Veyrat, a pure granite Haut-Savoyard with a passion for verticality and minerals. Here, the mountains are raw, sometimes rough. We're not in the golden alpine pastures of Megève or Manigod, so we had to adapt the cuisine. Three blind menus (€75 to €130) set the scene, served with the smile and elegance of Marie Ancel, the chef's companion. The runny egg with mushrooms, amaretto sabayon and onion juice is a culinary alpinism of the highest order. We can't wait to try the pike quenelle again, escorted by étrilles juice and a diabolical coffee emulsion. Chartreuse char and cochon de Chartreuse know how to dance with beautifully-crafted ball companions. Our only regret is that these trendy gels add a touch of acidity that's not always welcome. For dessert, hogweed flirts elegantly with chocolate. As for the cellar, it takes you on a transalpine journey: Switzerland, Austria, Savoy, all the slopes are represented.
