Le Comptoir des Alpes

A good experience. First of all, the service I thought was outstanding with every waiter being very attentive and charismatic. Now to the food, I thought the menu was abit limited especially if you were vegetarian. The food itself was great, but always left me wanting more! The main, the duck was beautiful, however popcorn on top I thought didn’t really make any sense or elevate the dish. Now to the atmosphere, the table and chairs were outdated, our seats next to the coffee machine and cheese selection I personally wasn’t a fan of the smell. The music was abit loud for my liking also. Overall, I left the restaurant happy mainly because of the staff and the service! Thank you!

Out of three Michelin recommended restaurants we tried, it was the least memorable experience. Not bad but could be better, the service was “hip” and didn’t match the cold ambiance of the dinning room. The food was ok, we had 6 different dishes between two of us but only remember foie gras and orange soufflé (soufflé was really best I ever had).

We had dinner at Le Comptoir des Alpes (3 guests, arrival around 19:15) and unfortunately the experience was far below what one would expect from a restaurant with this reputation. We were seated promptly on arrival, which we appreciated. However, the service quickly became disorganized. After about 10 minutes we were given only the drinks menu and no food menus. After roughly 25 minutes I asked for the menus and was told that all menus were currently in use at other tables and that we could only receive two menus even though we were three guests. About 10 minutes later we were finally able to order. We received an amuse-bouche (something resembling beetroot) which unfortunately was completely without flavor, and at that point bread had still not been served. I mentioned several times to different waiters that we had still not properly received menus and that a significant amount of time had already passed. One waiter apologized and mentioned a mistake in the kitchen, but no real service recovery followed. After about 50 minutes the wine was served, and the bread arrived about five minutes earlier. The bread was partially dry and we had to ask for butter. At that point we still had not received our starter. After roughly 75 minutes the starters finally arrived (foie gras pressé). This was actually the best dish of the evening and the only course that really met expectations. The main courses arrived after around 100 minutes: The confit trout was very poorly balanced in flavor and below the expected standard. The tenderloin (with an €8 supplement), ordered medium rare, arrived somewhere between medium and well done. The duck with carrot purée and truffle lacked any noticeable truffle aroma, the meat was tough, overcooked (not rosé) and sliced along the grain rather than against it. Desserts were the final disappointment. The orange soufflé had such a strong egg taste that it was essentially inedible. The two chocolate desserts were acceptable but nothing more (roughly 2/5). At the end of the meal the same waiter who had previously apologized offered us a “surprise” liqueur. While the gesture was noted, it did little to address an evening marked by long waiting times, weak service coordination and inconsistent kitchen execution. Overall, the gap between the restaurant’s reputation and the experience we had was striking.

Food was OK but not overall very impressive especially with this price tag. Service was good. Variety of cheeses was good. I especially liked the desserts

We really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere here. The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, the setting was cozy and elegant. One of the highlights for me was the extensive wine menu, offering plenty of great options. Overall, a nice place for a good meal and a relaxed evening.

Excellent place to have a bite before or after going into the mountain. They have good wine list and wines by the glass, very sophisticated and tasty dishes. The service is also remarkable, the only disadvantage is that the meat dishes take long so if you are in a rush you can’t have them. I will definitely go back

The evening was amazing and the food was excellent (each and every part of it). The wine pairing was good, and the service was professional and very nice. We do want to see this place getting a Michelin star, so there a few *small* things you may want to consider to get there: 1. The table was not cleaned throughout the dinner, so it was gradually getting harder to eat across the crumbs and the food leftovers. 2. The soda and water is free. That's awesome. When the bottle is empty, just replace it - we needn't ask specifically. 3. The bathroom - I'd use hand towels instead of paper towels, and add some scent to the room. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Absolutely scrumptious dishes. Every dish absolutely exceeded my already high expectations. The parsnip starter (11/10, magical), scallops main (10/10, buttery melt-in-your-mouth scallops and the sauces and puree and the crispy vegetables were just perfection), and the chocolate tartlette dessert (10/10, rich, creamy, delicious, beautifully presented and went so well with the ice-cream and the chocolate sauce as well). My friend had the slow-cooked egg for his starter and the riz au lait for dessert and could not stop raving about both either. I also loved the carrot cream brought out as appetizer. Cocktails were fantastic as well and the wine selection was extensive and lovely. Service was top notch as well. Finished the delicious meal with their wonderful limoncello served chilled. My only suggestion would be to bring out some whipped butter with the fantastic bread. Absolutely beautiful meal and experience. Highly recommend!
