Ursus

"Housed within one of the resort’s fine hotels, this restaurant loves nature, with a name that pays tribute to the last species of bear in the Savoie. Its dining room resembles a forest with its slim tree trunks separating each of the tables into little copses, a ceiling covered with a canvas representing leaves, and magnificent tables carved from walnut wood. The chef here also loves gathering wild herbs and plants while out walking in the mountains. Once second in command to Jean-François Piège, he creates contemporary-style Alpine cuisine with real technical wizardry, resulting in generous dishes which are full of flavour while respecting the seasons and constantly searching out the best local ingredients. The cheese selection focuses exclusively on the Savoie and is accompanied by an impressive wine list." - Michelin Inspector
