"Derrière une façade qui ne paie pas de mine, on découvre un restaurant très chaleureux avec une ambiance cocooning.La carte est variée et le berthoud que vous avons pris était excellent. La bière est brassée sur place. Les desserts sont également très bons.Quant au service, il est chaleureux, souriant et efficace.Seuls petits bémols: les desserts sont un peu chers et le restaurant est un peu bruyant.Malgré cela, un très bon restaurant à découvrir et à conseiller."

": go to the carnotzet (cave in savoyard), the 2nd restaurant in the hotel where you will be served the typical cheese dishes of the region but also (and above all) the butcher's plate: delicious meats (beef, duck, lamb) served on a still noisy cast plate (the butter melts in front of your eyes). all of this in a typical setting of an old Savoyard farm (we also see the homemade hams dried behind a glass). Very copious: a pity that it is not opened also at noon"

"We came here for the food as we had seen recipes from a book that originated here and the food is well prepared, quality ingredients and cooked well. Let's deal with the service first as it can set you off on the wrong foot, put bluntly the front of house is like being greeted by a Parisian waiter, we felt they were so well booked there was no need to be so nice. So that aside, to the food.... We took an amazing terrine and an even more amazing pressé. The terrine was meaty and moist served with a clever selection of salads, the pressé with Guinea fowl and foie gras was even better, with a clever lentil side and a superb fig-sticky-jam concoction. We took two main courses, a saddle roll of rabbit and stuffing, the sauce accompanying was delicious. We also had the fillet de bœuf rossini style, the meat was soft and cooked exactly as ordered, the fried foie gras just crispy on the outside, the sauce was served nearly cold but on a hot plate, a small error. More vegetables would have been nice but a tasty plate. Our main reason for the visit was to have the baked ice cream dessert they called a Norwegian omelette, on the menu it advised it was a minimum of four persons so we both had a little cry, at the end the lady we think is the head waiter advised if we call in advance they will make it for two. A reason to return! She did though advise another dessert cooked a similar way so we had that, a Vacherin I think the name was, meringue around layered ice cream, it was excellent and we strongly recommend keeping space for at least a share dessert here. Wine selection is wide and some decent half bottles so we were able to have a good white (local Crepy) with the starters and a St Emillion with the main. So go in with a big smile and enjoy the food which is for sure the best in La Chapelle (and we did eat in the Ensoleillé too) and don't worry about the service too much. And finally, my wife took the terrine and the rabbit plus a cheese course (a great selection from a rolling luge trolley) for 26 euros all in, ridiculously good value so do spot the deals."

"Come 3 days in the vicinity of Abundance, try the first night. Come back before you leave. A pleasure: a magnificent setting, dishes that seem more expensive than others. But much more stuffed. At the end of the menu, it is possible to find a list of different suppliers. It's a pleasure. The more fun the team is and listen. I hope I can come back here in a future passage."

"hi, we had a small apartment in chinaillon for 10 years and have eaten in every restaurant/hotel in the village. we come back in summer when the sun shines on the balcony with a view of the slopes on the opposite side of the valley. a beautiful location. the menu is simple 4 meat/2 fish/4 salads and all well combined. Today we had a few chicken corners and a risotto. Nothing left at the end on our plates tells his own story. the owner is the cook and she makes the bases really good. we were the only tourist, the rest were native always a good sign. dessert was crepe and profiterole, again simple, but beautifully presented and a good taste. we paid 100 eurosports 2, but 55 of these euro were for wein. we will come back next summer."
