Restaurants

Café Comptoir is open winter and summer, this place serves delicious food in a beautiful mountain-side setting.

Perfect for a lunch stop whilst our skiing or hiking or for a well-deserved beer in the sunshine at the end of a long day in the mountains. With a modern chalet-style interior you can enjoy lunch or dinner here cosied up in the warmth or pass a pleasurable few hours soaking up the sunshine on their delightful terrace.

The menu is composed of dishes typical of the region, with locally produced meats and cheeses featuring throughout and fish from Lac Leman. The house speciality is "La Mystère", a piping hot dish of melted reblochon cheese delicately flavoured with morelles and black chanterelle mushrooms. Everything is lovingly prepared in their open kitchen and elegantly presented.

Booking is highly recommended (by phone only) to avoid disappointment as this restaurant is a popular choice with both locals and tourists alike. They also host periodic art exhibitions or have live music playing for a spot of après ski or an enjoyable evening out.

Open daily from 09:00 to 23:00 and until 18:00 on Sunday. Closed on Sunday evening.
