Discover the exquisite menu at Restaurant La Bouitte
Nestled in the heart of the French Alps at Les Belleville, Restaurant La Bouitte offers a culinary journey that celebrates local Savoie flavors with innovative flair. This Michelin-starred gem crafts menus that honor regional ingredients while delighting guests with thoughtful presentation and complex flavors. Whether you opt for a tasting menu or à la carte, each dish is a masterpiece showcasing the richness of the alpine terroir and the chef's artistry.
Starters to awaken your palate
Begin your meal with refined starters featuring local and seasonal produce. Delight in the delicate vegetables cooked in their own juice, complemented by a rich double cream infused with the subtle tang of agrelette and the refined zest of citron caviar. The foie gras de canard escalope is elegantly paired with a fresh corn galette, sweet honey from Saint Marcel, vegetable crumb, and a reduction of aged vinegar, harmonizing richness and acidity. For a true taste of the region, savor the escargots gros gris prepared in a classic persillade with fresh spinach shoots, velvety escargot sauce, and cooking butter, offering both tradition and finesse.
Main courses inspired by alpine heritage
The mains at La Bouitte reflect the spirit and bounty of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy perfectly cooked cardoons that highlight the chef's dedication to simplicity and texture. The trout rests on a bed of tender Swiss chard, delicately veiled with a slice of Beaufort cheese, melding freshness with creamy depth. For a luxurious indulgence, try the vol-au-vent filled with sweetbreads and escargots, served with a savory veal jus and piquant chanterelle pickles that balance earthiness and acidity. The pigeon dish, accentuated by tart lingonberries (airelles), brings a memorable contrast of gamey and fruity notes.
Sweet endings and delicate desserts
Conclude your dining experience with a delicate dessert like the apple flavored with caraway seeds, a subtle spice that elevates the natural fruit sweetness, creating a refreshing and aromatic finale.
