15.5/20

Remarkable Restaurant Ursus opens seven months a year at 2100 m altitude, in the heart of Tignes. More than a gamble, it's a decision taken by the Bouvier family, who want to offer their home to the winter and summer seasons. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are surprised by the magical forest of 400 larch trunks. The light is subdued, making you want to touch these materials made of bark and moss. After a few minutes, chef Clément Bouvier emerges from his lair, not a bear at all, but on the contrary pleasant and well-mannered. Unfortunately, you won't experience the adult pleasure of choosing or salivating over the titles. My grandfather's potato soup becomes a classic, and serves as an aromatic base for the winter vegetables worked around the fir tree, crosnes, salsify and other Jerusalem artichokes. Juices and sauces are increasingly precise, and Arctic char with wild polypode is a marvel, boosted by mountain mint. Desserts have also benefited from new finery. We'll remember the field rhubarb, fresh with verbena, a montage as ethereal as it is delicate. With nearly 800 references, the wine list is an abyssal dive into the wines of the Alpine terroirs, with a few unique vintages.
