LA BOUITTE
3 star restaurant offering a magnificent cuisine and an exceptional menu, a surprise menu and wines.
At La Bouitte, the exhilaration of the summits blends with exceptional gastronomy, making this Savoie gem one of France's most prestigious restaurants. Founded in 1976 by René and Marie-Louise Meilleur, what began as a modest "bouitte" has been transformed, with the arrival of their son Maxime in 1996, into a culinary sanctuary with three Michelin stars. There's no traditional menu here: each dish is a daring work of art, combining creativity, technique and emotion to awaken all the senses and leave a lasting impression.

1. We stayed at the hotel during the Christmas period. I had a table reserved for the 24th at 13:30. we arrived on time and we wanted to taste the 8 course menu. We were told that it is late and we can only have the 5 course menu. Why? No one told us before that we need to be there earlier in order to taste the full menu.
2. we had wild rabbit and my wife almost broke her teeth from 2 small shots which apparently killed the animal and were not removed. We told a service staff and he said he will inform the kitchen. Later the chef came to our table and he was standing there without an apology. I don’t know really what he wanted. Congratulations?
3 my wife wanted to use the bathroom in between the courses. She was told from the service that she has only 1 minute because the next course is arriving. I mean seriously? Every tavern will wait to bring the food if you need to use the bathroom.
And finally, we have been to multiple Michelin restaurants, if you told me that this is a 1 star restaurant I would be fine. I’m missing the extraordinary that I was finding in other 2 or 3 star restaurants.
In the middle of best part of French Alps there are many restaurants maybe as good as this one..but this place 9 KMS from val Thorens, France is highly commendable for taste, service, local sourcing of ingredients and menu orientation. Every bite stands out for its individuality of its flavour and sequence of serving enhances the lasting flavours. English speaking staff adds to the understanding of recipes and main chef coming out and saying hello to all guests is icing on the cake. Special thanks to the chef for introducing us to such lovely food in our life, which we can cherish for many more years to come and best of all was staff. Lovely service, thank you too.
Le 5 plats suffit largement !
