Menu de l'auberge de la cascade du rouget overview and delights.
Nestled in the breathtaking Vallée du Giffre near Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, the Auberge de la Cascade du Rouget offers a culinary journey through traditional Savoyard specialties. This menu perfectly complements the stunning natural scenery of the famous waterfall, inviting you to savor authentic mountain flavors crafted from rich local ingredients.
Starters that awaken the palate
Begin your meal with the rustic charm of Bougnettes, golden potato fritters made with flour, eggs, and butter, seasoned simply with salt and pepper for a comforting start. Alternatively, indulge in the Salade de chèvre chaud, a fresh green salad crowned with warm goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, a drizzle of honey, and crunchy grilled bread—combining freshness and richness in one bite.
Hearty mains embodying alpine tradition
The menu’s stars are undeniably the Fondue Savoyarde and Tartiflette, two iconic dishes that celebrate Savoyard cheese and mountain flavors. The Fondue Savoyarde blends creamy Gruyère, Emmental, and Beaufort cheeses melted with white wine and hints of garlic, served alongside crusty bread for dipping—perfect for sharing or solo enjoyment. The Tartiflette features tender potatoes baked with Reblochon cheese, smoky lardons, sweet onions, and a touch of crème fraîche, all enriched by a splash of white wine, creating a warm, satisfying plate that captures the essence of alpine comfort food.
Desserts to delight your senses
Finish your meal on a sweet note with classic Crêpes crafted from a delicate batter of flour, eggs, milk, butter, and sugar. These thin pancakes can be enjoyed plain or with your choice of toppings, echoing the traditional French way to indulge after a day immersed in the alpine landscape. The simplicity and elegance of crêpes make them a perennial favorite for visitors longing for an authentic taste of France.
Drinks and specials to complement your experience
While the menu focuses on robust Savoyard dishes, the experience is elevated by thoughtfully paired beverages.
