Au plaisir ambré

We had a very nice birthday dinner here. Chef Michael went above and beyond with his delicious tasting menu that accommodated our gluten and dairy allergies. Please make allergy requests a few days or a week in advance to give the chef time to prepare! The highlights were the fish risotto, scallops, and the desert. We’ll be back!

Delightful. We picked this resturant due to it being in the Michelin guide. It was a choice of set menu only and I was worried I would struggle with 3 courses for lunch but it was perfectly portioned. We had the smoked haddock ravioli and chicken liver parfait for starters, followed by chuck beef and fish of the day and then eclair and the apple deserts. So good. Will come back to try one of the other menus.

My husband and I had a delicious meal. They made accommodations for my gluten free diet and each course was well prepared and presented. Nice background music and the server was super helpful and pleasant. It deserves Michelin’s praises.

Amazing food and the chef’s passion for excellence and flavoursome dishes is evident. I highly recommend you experience Michael’s cuisine. The waitress is also super friendly and helpful. Laurence

This was 5* - this was a highlight of our stay. We had been to 6 or 7 other restaurants in Briancon and surrounding villages but this was highlight of our stay. Amazing food, great menu, great wines and very friendly chef and staff. They could not find our booking (I called 17.58 on 22nd of Dec to make a reservation for 5th of Jan) - but were kind enough to still host us. It’s a real shame that there I think were 6 people that didn’t turn up 😡 during the course of the evening. They should consider 1) taking card details and charging £20 per person in event of no-show or 2) hold the table for max 15 mins and if the people are late, it can be opened up for walk ins. We will no doubt visit you again when we are back in Serre Chevalier again.
