L'Auberge de Montmin

Forclaz Pass (1 147m) is not just a paradise for paragliders, but also for fine food lovers, thanks to this restaurant, which has been refurbished and extended without losing its snug Alpine appeal. Chef Florian Favario adds an increasingly creative spin to cuisine based on the best of local produce (eg lamb and piglets, home-grown vegetables, seasonal fruit). He masterfully combines wildflowers, plants and herbs, such as thyme, sage, oregano, agastache, hyssop, mint flower etc. The resulting feast of extraordinary scents elevates dishes that are already at the apex of culinary technique and know-how. These detailed dishes, presented in walnut tableware designed by the chef himself, are brought out of the kitchen by a crack team led by an attentive Sandrine, the chef's wife. A drink before dinner on the terrace is the perfect opportunity to take in the view of the mountain pastures.
