La Cave sur le comptoir — Restaurant in Albertville

The food here at this wine bar is delightful, beautifully prepared, delivered and very tasty. However, you won’t get a chance to eat the food unless you order wine too.

I recently had a great evening at La Cave sur le comptoir in Val d’Isere. The wine selection was outstanding, with a wide variety of excellent wines.

There are options for everyone, from light bites to hearty meals, and each dish was prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients that perfectly complemented the wines.
