Restaurants & Nightlife
The cuisine of Savoie is mainly specialized in cheese. The region is a true mecca for such dishes like fondue, tartiflette and raclette. Beside the food, the wines are also something to look forward to, especially since Savoie is famous for bottling some of the best wine in France.

La Vieille Maison

La Bergerie
Info: Its uneven flagstone steps, stacks of firewood, and weathered pine logs and planks testify to La Bergerie’s origins as an 1830s shepherd’s hut. The ambiance is sports-oriented and outdoorsy. An especially refined platter that usually meets with success is pate of salmon smoked, poached, grilled, and served with lemon-and-caviar creme fraiche.
