René and Maxime Meilleur take traditional mountain cooking to another level at La Bouitte in Les Menuires, deep in the Savoie Alps. Among the standout dishes are the Light as Air Raclette, Milk in All Its Forms and the finest pan-fried foie gras I’ve ever tasted.
Savoyard culture runs through the restaurant. Dishes are served on 18th-century pottery decorated with historic coats of arms, while the three dining rooms include a Baroque room with sculpted cherubs and another built around a two-century-old Arpin spinning mill. All overlook the Vallée des Encombres.
La Bouitte was recently downgraded to two Michelin stars. For me, it remains every bit a three-star restaurant.
