L'Etable des Lys — Restaurant in Albertville

This wonderful rustic place has exceptional food. Everything is locally sourced and I believe it’s the only restaurant in the region that still has a traditional raclette stand (yes, the coal slowly turns to ash as your chunk of cheese slowly turns into gooey goodness).

The waiters are kind and friendly and you can tell they love the food they serve - I asked for a dessert recommendation and our waiter mentioned the home-made sponge cake which is (shakes hand in air) ooh-la-la. Couldn’t say no to that and I wasn’t dissappointed.

P.S.: the bathroom soap situation is a bit awkward but it makes for a good bit of fun conversation.

I think that when you make a reservation in this type of restaurants, they should warn you if there is not a normal table available, for us it was part of the experience to sit in the main dining hall as it had a very...

We were looking forward to trying this place, the latest offering from Les Peupliers (where we've been gong for over 15 years), especially given other positive reviews. Sadly it was very disappointing, the service was dismal (despite not being very busy), we ordered a bottle of wine, which took over 25 minutes to arrive, and when it did it wasn't the bottle we'd ordered (it had already been opened when dumped on our table). The tartiflette was OK, but had clearly been frozen rather than freshly made, as the outside was piping hot while the middle was cold. The staff even managed to make paying the bill an ordeal. We won't...
