"My wife and I visited La Maison des Bois for lunch during a skiing trip to La Clusaz, our expectations were very high but the experience exceeded our expectations!We had the 10 course lunch menu which come at EUR 295 pp with wine pairings, Yes its quite steep but in our opinion worth every EUR (and you can probably skip dinner like we did after this 4½ hour fabulous lunch!) All courses tasteful and very different in style, I would name the trout caviar with an iced cream of herbes as the most outstanding together with "a walk in the woods" commented by Marc Veyrat with our eyes closed ...! Be careful to save some appetite for your own selection of mostly local homemade savoir cheeses from the extensive cheese table and outstanding deserts! Wine parings matched the food well, both whites and the red very good locally grown wines, we liked especially the red 2006 vintage, that reminded me of Rhone - spec. the Grenache grape. The wine list gives you all the possibilities you could wish for in selecting great French wines for an extraordinaire meal including DRC Romanée- Conti, Ch. Petrus and ... Make sure to peek through the glass in the floor when having appetizers on the ground floor ... ... This is truly an amazing restaurant like no one else we have visited, with tasteful innovative food, a nice view to the slopes at Manigod and an overall overwhelming experience, orchestrated by Marc Veyrat and his team."

"Copyy meal and fresh product. Burger and excellent child fish according to my children. We have feasted with our black bread burger and homemade potatoes as well as reblochonade. The dessert thousand excellent leaves. Smiling and reactive staff. You don't know where to eat stop you without hesitating if you pass that way. But think about reserved because in high season it is fast complete. Service: Dine in"

"Found this little place having walked away from one of those dreadful restaurants, where you arrive and the place is empty, and the snotty receptionist asks 'do you have a reservation? ' Instant put off in this day and age. So we walked. I treated a friend to supper, as she is going through a tough time, and it was the perfect choice. One tip, don 't be seduced by the first photo with the fire. We actually didn 't dress as warmly as we might have because we thought a fire in a small restaurant would be too hot. There isn 't one. But it is still lovely. Just dress with layers. The food menu is not large but it is really interesting and I have to say the food was fresh and a mixture of healthy, modern and delicious. The wine menu is also very good with something for everyone. The service was brilliant and the chap was so lovely and friendly he even told me my broken french was really good; Bless him. Left him a big tip. So to start, I had ceviche of three fish salmon, trout and (I should remember but don 't ; but it was exquisite see the photo. My friend had fresh home made butternut squash soup which was delicious as I helped her finish it off. For mains Sue had Tartiflette al la anciene (without cream and meat and had a small plank of ham as an accompaniement. I opted for a salad with chicken livers which wsa delicious. We shared a chef special for pud Coque aux Fruits which was like a think chocolate cup filled with exotic fruit and lime and it was really scrummy. Will def go back. Would probably share a starter as well as pud as they are a good size."

"Here is the detail of our meal: Parking: it is important to read the sign at the bottom: only 4x4 are allowed, and we quickly understand why! Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to have a 4x4 and thus made the climber (700m with a good D , on foot. (We didn’t get the info by phone of all this, and luckily my fiancée wasn’t dressed in heel, otherwise it would have been impossible! . In short, this restaurant deserves and the view comes to prove it! Magnificent: Small precision too: there are bcp of dogs and cats in the restaurant and outside. We love animals so no constraint on our side but we imagine that it doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone. Service: servers are very nice and the service is well done. Plat: We have feasted! Flat entrance (we would have loved to take a dessert but the dishes are very copied Price : very correct : 140€ for 2* flat entry formula half bottle of red a beer and a spritz. Decoration: very original and atypical! Attention to beams !!! Last detail and not least: the descent is on foot, necessarily, and there is no light in the forest so think of your flash or light:"
