La Ferme des 3 Capucines — Restaurant in Albertville

We went twice to this restaurant during one week in Tignes. The reason was to give a second chance after the first dinner, which was a bit of a strange surprise.

Overall, the place looks very nice, cozy, very mountain style. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere. The service is very good with friendly and polite waiters. In principle, the menu offers a good variety of local traditional options. So everything seems to start with the right approach.

Unfortunately the most expensive courses are very disappointing. The first time we tried the Raclette and it was surprisingly tasteless. Kilos of cheese melted for you, but absolutely no taste. An indication of very poor selection of cheese.

As said, we decided to give it a second chance and we went there again a few nights later. We said, rating is high, maybe we were not lucky... So we went back and tried the Fondue and the Cote de Beuf. The Fondue was horrible, tasteless and the cheese separated from the serum and it was absolutely without any flavour. Extremely disappointing and again indicating a poor selection ingredients. Fortunately the Cote de Beuf was okay. Nothing spectacular but good.

This place remains a good option in case you are in Tignes but don’t expect nothing near to the rating. It’s nice and cozy and with price aligned to the others...

The food was pretty good but service was rather haphazard. For example, I noticed a group on the next table received muse bouches while they were deciding on their order. We did not. When out starter arrived, I questioned the absence and they subsequently brought one. Now mistakes happen and I'd happily overlook it however, rather than apologise, they made the excuse that it had not been served because it contained gluten and my friend was celiac. However firstly, I am not and secondly, they had not established that fact at the point it should have bern served, showing the excuse to be untrue. A little humility and an apology with a smile would have been far more appropriate and effective. The dishes were good in their conception but not dazzling in their execution and not all arrived to table as hot as they should be - it was easy to see how, on a good day, they might be worthy of the Michelin listing the once had but consistency is key and despite not being a particularly busy night, they were a little too loose on the...

Brilliant restaurant. We went as a walk-in table of two - the place had a great atmosphere, the staff were friendly (and forgiving of our utterly terrible french) and the food was delicious. Definitely a place to go when in Tignes but I'd recommend a reservation as they had to squeeze is in and we had to give up the table at a certain time (although they made us fully aware of this when we asked if there was a spare table). Other fun notes, the decor was great (there was a fire, which was a nice touch) and as the menu was in french, it was something of a lottery as to what the food was (we were helped by Google and the waitress giving a broad idea - i.e. pig). What's more, it seemed good value considering how much a salad or sandwich can be up...
