Starters
Begin your meal with the exquisite Salade de chèvre chaud, where warm goat cheese melts atop fresh green salad leaves, garnished with crunchy walnuts and a drizzle of golden honey for a perfect balance of flavors. For a heartwarming option, the Soupe à l'oignon offers caramelized onions simmered in rich beef broth, topped with crusty bread and melted grated cheese — a timeless French classic.

Mains
Dive into traditional French comfort with Coq au vin, featuring tender chicken slowly braised in red wine, complemented by onions, mushrooms, lardons, and fragrant herbs de Provence. The robust Boeuf bourguignon is a must-try, with succulent beef stewed to perfection alongside carrots, onions, mushrooms, lardons, and the same rich red wine sauce infused with herbs. For a lighter yet equally satisfying choice, the Filet de truite meunière offers delicate trout fillet lightly floured and pan-fried in butter, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, delivering fresh alpine flavors.
Desserts
Indulge your sweet tooth with the legendary Tarte Tatin, an upside-down caramelized apple tart with buttery shortcrust pastry that offers a delightful balance of sweetness and texture. The classic Crème brûlée tempts with its creamy vanilla custard base topped with a perfectly torched caramelized sugar crust, offering a satisfying crack with every spoonful. For a decadent finale, savor the Profiteroles, airy choux pastry filled with luscious whipped cream and drizzled with warm, rich chocolate sauce.
