La Table de l'Alpaga - Restaurant Gastronomique à Megève — Restaurant in Bonneville

This was my second time eating here. We ordered the 8 course menu, which was again thoughtfully designed to incorporate a variety of flavors from Savoy as well as incorporate seafood dishes.

The staff and service were excellent, attentive and friendly. My favorite dish was the frog legs which was composed of a flavorful blend of garlic and herbs and just prepared so well. All the other primary dishes were solid, and the presentation well designed. We also enjoyed the creative snowball themed dessert from the pastry chef. The soup was just ok.

Despite the good food, I left the experience a bit disappointed and feeling taken advantage of. On my first dining experience, we split a wine pairing which was excellent. This time, I simply ordered a glass of wine with dinner, after asking for a recommendation from the sommelier of his favorite wine by the glass (on the menu, the most expensive wine per glass was 15 euros). My sister, who joined me for dinner that night, was later ordered the same recommendation.

When I paid for the bill, those glasses were 27 euros each, almost double the most expensive glass available on the wine menu. The initial champagne drinks we were offered before viewing the menu were also around 30 euros each.

While we very much enjoyed the meal and the top quality service, I can’t help but feeling a bit taken advantage of for eating at a fancy restaurant and overcharged for beverages in a setting where it would be awkward to ask the price yet the price was outside of the reflective context on the menu. If they need to make a higher margin, this isn’t the way they should...

Absolutely wonderful, will be going back again and again. The entire hotel is set in a beautiful part of the mountains with an enjoyable drive through winding roads. If you are an EV driver who suffers from rekkeviddeangst - or range anxiety - they have a number of charge points in the carpark to use while you dine. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, the options to accomodate my ridiculous food restrictions were on par with the carefully selected tasting menu. The wine parings were varied so that every glass really felt like a new experience and the sommalier was kind enough to tell us exactly where each bottle came from and how far away it was - great for planning our next trip. I brought my 2 year old to dinner (with many contigency plans to take him somewhere quiet if he got annoying, I swear!) but the staff were so lovely and welcoming he somehow was on his best behaviour. They made him a kids meal that was delicious enough to be for adults at any other restaraunt with a great deal of variety in taste and texture. He still stole most of my food, but he is a bit of a gourmet, so I took some of his. Anyway this is getting too long, food was exquisit, setting was gorgeous, ambiance was wonderful and the staff...

C'est avec une grande déception que j'écris cet avis, suite à notre visite dans ce restaurant étoilé Michelin. La première indication d'une soirée compliquée a été l'interminable attente d'une heure et demie pour notre première entrée du menu dégustation en huit étapes. Bien qu'on s'attend à un certain rythme lent pour savourer un menu dégustation, cela a largement dépassé notre seuil de tolérance.

Nous avons ensuite patienté 30 minutes supplémentaires entre le premier et le deuxième plat, ce qui a finalement conduit à notre départ anticipé. Nous n'avons pas pu, malheureusement, déguster la totalité du menu pour lequel nous avons payé en totalité, ce qui est franchement inadmissible.

Nous n'étions manifestement pas les seuls clients insatisfaits ce soir-là, car d'autres convives ont également décidé de partir avant la fin du repas. Il est important de noter que la qualité d'un restaurant étoilé ne se limite pas à la cuisine, mais englobe également le service et le respect du client.

En toute honnêteté, je ne peux pas comprendre comment ce restaurant a obtenu son étoile Michelin. Les standards attendus pour un établissement de cette catégorie n'étaient clairement pas respectés. Nous nous sentons non seulement déçus, mais également trompés.

En conclusion, je ne peux que déconseiller ce restaurant, qui nous a laissé une impression amer de notre...
