Gault&Millau's review 2026

How do you open a restaurant in a chalet while maintaining the "codes" of a classic restaurant? Several great chefs have already asked themselves this question, from Julien Gatillon to Christophe Bacquié and Marc Veyrat. And we can only salute the courage and dynamism of Thomas Flachaire, who, with his wife, has just opened his own restaurant in a tiny chalet made of blond wood and pretty Alpine inspirations. The young Gault&Millau award-winner offers a variety of different menus. The cuisine is fine and well-constructed, and there's already a fine knowledge of local produce. Gourmandise de châtaigne (a local chestnut delicacy), a lovely duo of beet and trout with a beurre blanc made with Savoy roussette, a toasted and herbaceous Arctic char, or this beef from Vinzier passed through the binchotan accompanied by a very light onion tartlet. As for desserts, the chef has already mastered the sweet arts: "Comme un mont blanc" is a pretty proposal based on wild blueberries, cream and chestnut mousse. The wine list is still in its infancy, but you'll be able to find a number of fine wines from the Alpine region at reasonable prices. The plates could do with a little more abundance, but the two toques are already there.
