Au Coin du Feu is a warm, inviting, comfortable place with kind hosts and incredible food right in the center of Megève.
The staff is incredibly attentive and accommodating, the rooms, while small, are comfortable and clean. The bathroom is relatively spacious and warm.
I had the relief menu at Le Saint Nicolas downstairs the night I arrived. It was a special, memorable meal. The chef creates food that is inventive and beautifully presented and technically complex and also, somehow, comforting. The wine pairings from the sommelier are also excellent. This particular menu was an homage to the region - it celebrated the local produce and people. For example, the tea that is served as a palate cleanser is made of herbs harvested low in the mountains, a task traditionally carried out by old ladies in the region who cannot reach the herbs higher in the mountain that are used for génépi. It was earthy and layered and satisfying.
I was pleasantly surprised, the next night, to find that the food at the bar upstairs, while more casual, is also outstanding. The chef's burger with Gruyère is the best burger I have ever had in my life.
I cannot recommend au coin du feu enough. If you are thinking about staying there, do it. I have stayed in much more expensive hotels in Megève, and this one is my favorite. While the hotel does not have a jacuzzi or a pool, the service, food, and general environment (calm, cozy, and warm) is better than the larger, more expensive hotels.
