The location is super cute, the food very good, but unfortunately the service was not up to standards with the rest. Extremely slow, had to remind the waitresses various times to bring certain things and always had to wave them down whenever we needed something. They were kind, but really forgetful and inexperienced. If the service is improved, this place can easily reach the 5 stars.

Every 2 or 3 years we visit La Thuile mainly because of this restaurant on the slopes. It's worth the long flat number 6 run to get here. The atmosphere is cosy and alpine, though we also loved the new glass extension which we sat in today. The food is amazing and truly representative of northern italian cuisine. The service is always lovely. Today I had the polenta with ratatouille (as a vegetarian and had multiple options to choose from-there is even vegan options) the polenta was rich and creamy, covered in cheese, the ratatouille was tomatoey with lots of flavoursome veg. The meat eaters on the table shared the meat platter with polenta, and loved the varied meats. Advice points: i suggest booking (not necessary at all) but it can get busy, leave central La Thuile ski area with 30 minutes to make it as the run to the restaurant is long.

Their speciality’s Polenta. So it was a discovery for me 😊 I don’t have any point of comparison but I took a mushroom vegetarian dish and and it was tasty. The 360 view is amazing might be noisy because of nice motorcycle riders 😁 very family friendly…. Nice pit stop in the mountains ⛰

We had seen the restaurant on our way to the Col du Petit St Bernard, luckily they had a table on our way back down. Sunshine, excellent service, all the local specialties on the menu, what's not to like! Polenta never tasted so good and the gelato was to die for.
