In a peaceful hamlet at an altitude of 600m and occupying a former 15C stronghold, the cosy, warm interior is depicted by stone walls and picture windows overlooking the Belledonne mountains. You are greeted by five immaculately laid round tables in a room bathed in light, ready for an encounter between nature and good food. Pierre Troccaz signs a carefully curated, inventive score, mingling local produce, aromatic herbs from the garden and a few well-chosen exotic notes, embodied by blue lobster flanked by a frothy espuma of Beaufort cheese and fragrant confit tomatoes. Regional specialties such as caïon (pork) in wild garlic and a crunchy-melt-in-the-mouth stuffing are emblematic of the chef’s passion and enthusiasm. His wife, Éloïse, warmly and seamlessly pampers diners. Pleasant guestrooms for overnight stays.
