Three-Michelin-starred temple of Savoyard cuisine with mountain views
"(Temporarily closed) Emmanuel Renaut fell in love with Haute Savoie as a child, long before achieving his Meilleur Ouvrier de France title, and his predilection for Alpine produce is deeply ingrained (pike, char and whitefish from Lake Geneva, mushrooms and wild herbs, mountain cheeses). At times he has fun subverting the regional cooking that is expected of him – a case in point being his superb langoustines marinated in citron, caviar with zesty grapefruit and gentian roots. Plants are also given an increasingly important role in his cuisine. An enchanting high-altitude chalet at the summit of fine dining." - Michelin Inspector
"A three‑Michelin‑starred, nature‑driven temple of Savoyard cuisine led by Emmanuel Renaut, celebrated for elevating the Alpine larder beyond cheese to wild lake fish, game, berries and a vast array of locally grown vegetables. The understated dining room with blonde wood beams and floor‑to‑ceiling mountain views presents constantly changing, seasonally focused dishes — examples include beetroot and parsnip gnocchi in a horseradish consommé; steamed and roasted cardoon with truffle and herb vinaigrette; a toasted pike preparation with black rice and buckwheat; and roasted venison with mushroom tartelettes — and concludes with an irresistible cheese trolley before dessert. Prix‑fixe menus are roughly $190 for lunch and $280 for dinner." - Lindsey Tramuta
"A three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Megève with a high culinary pedigree that has influenced nearby gastronomic ventures and the staffing of new hotel restaurants in the region." - Nina Caplan

"Set high in the French Alps above the ski resort of Megève, Flocons de Sel is an elegant getaway with sweeping views of the valley below. It’s particularly enchanting in winter, when snow covers the landscape and open fireplaces crackle inside the boutique hotel’s wooden chalets. Guest rooms and suites are light-filled and minimalist, lined with pale wood and stone; eclectic details add alpine character, from animal hide rugs and patterned wool throws to a side table made out of a tree stump. All have bathtubs and private terraces facing the surrounding mountains, and some have wood-burning stoves. A pair of freestanding chalets offer extra privacy, with two levels of living and sleeping space. The hotel offers free shuttle service to the nearby ski lift, and afterward, access to a rustic-chic spa with a beautifully illuminated indoor pool. Chef Emmanuel Renaut presides over the extraordinary restaurant." - Tablet Hotels
