A very nice lunch before Christmas at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hotel de Ville de Crissier in Switzerland. Definitely a box to tick when in the area, this is a renowned restaurant with a lot of history.

An ok but fairly forgettable meal at 2* Le Montgomerie at the K2 Hotel in Courchevel 1850. A delicious carabinero dish is probably all I shall remember from this meal. The K2 hotel is incredible though. Very beautiful indeed.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Wine dinner with Vega-Sicilia at La Bouitte at René et Maxime Meilleur
A collaborative wine dinner at 3* restaurant La Bouitte in Saint-Martin-De-Belleville with some incredible wines presented by Pablo Álvarez of Vega-Sicilia. The menu was specifically tailored to match with the wines by the legendary Father and Son team René & Maxime Meilleur. A thoroughly enjoyable and educational evening.

Dinner at ⭐️⭐️ Anne Sophie Pic at the Beau-Rivage Palace Lausanne. Not a patch on Maison Pic in Valence of course but still pretty good. I think I prefer Dame de Pic in London (when I can’t get to Valence) but they are all pretty solid. And the hotel with a room overlooking the lake is stunning.

This was a truly exceptional meal at the 3* Michelin restaurant Le 1947 in Courchevel 1850 at the Cheval Blanc Hotel. A beautiful and very intimate dining room of just 12 covers when I dined. I believe they can seat 20. This is a Yannick Alléno restaurant of the famed Paris 3* Pavillon Ledoyen on the Champs Elysées. Although the day to day head chef is Gérard Barbin, a hugely talented and very personable chap who took a lot of time to engage me directly regarding the menu and cooking techniques. Aside from the outstanding cookery, the service was impeccable and it was nice to see all the lead service staff were female with just a male Sommelier and male bus boys. For me their expert knowledge of all the dishes and competent table side skills at finishing a lot of the dishes took the whole experience to the next level. This was a far cry from the snooty French service I experience sometimes in Paris. The only slight negative was the sommelier. The wine service made me feel as though it was maybe the main sommelier’s day off. Possible a language barrier but i would not expect that in any 3* restaurant. This restaurant is not for the faint of heart as the bill was an eye watering €700 for me alone. And I did not go particularly crazy on the wine. Everyone else in the dining room was clearly very wealthy and I detected quite a few Russian accents which should give you an idea of the type of clientele this place attracts. Indeed, one gentleman had booked a table just for himself not to eat any food but to spend the evening working his way through some of the incredible wines that the restaurant offer at a price per 1cl. These were bottles that were priced in the tens of thousands of euro in the wine list. All in all I loved it and will go back at the next given opportunity. An OAD must visit. Less

My fourth visit to Emmanuel Renaut’s 3* restaurant in Megève. He always delivers on food and service. Although I was not as blown away by last nights meal as I have been on previous visits, I shall still keep coming back. The rooms and individual chalets at the property are well worth staying in for the complete experience with a very good breakfast the following morning.
I went for the Winter Flavours Randonnée menu at 236€ for 9 dishes representing the season, preceeded by a selection of savoury canapés in mountain flavours. I also had a prestige wine pairing at 125€ for 2 whites, 1 red and 1 sweet wine. The Somm had to be encouraged to be a bit more generous with his pourings and also I had to suggest a couple of glasses inbetween as I ran dry often. As someone who is comfortable ploughing through a 10 glass pairing, this felt a little scant and annoyed me a little that I was doing the somm’s job. There were also no explanations for the wines other than what it said on the label. I always enjoy the somm explaining why they have chosen a particular wine to pair with a dish and what to expect from the wine in terms of flavour and nose. At a 2* or 3* I expect this so was very disapointed with the wine action last night. Less

Grand Cru chocolate soufflé, tonka bean ice cream
.
My first stop was to Lausanne on the shores of Lake Léman where I was to visit 3 restaurants. The first meal was so good that I ended up coming back for a second meal to try some more of chef @franckpelux dishes.
Franck and partner Sarah Benahmed have only very recently taken over the reins of La Table restaurant situated in the excellent Lausanne Palace hotel. Formerly La Table D’Edgard, the restaurant closed early in 2020 holding one Michelin star and an impressive 18 Gault Millau points.
This is a restaurant that was recommended to me not for the restaurant itself but by people who have been following the chef. Looking at where Franck and Sarah had worked previously, Le 1947, Au Crocodile and a stint in Hong Kong, I was fairly sure that I would get along very well with the cooking here. Le 1947 is my favourite ⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the world and chatting to Sarah we realised that she most likely served me on my last visit there several years ago.
I had the tasting menu on my first visit and on my second Franck very generously made another tasting menu of A La Carte dishes that I hadn’t tried. Standouts were a stunning leek consommé with a leek stuffed fried bun and an exceptionally well balanced composed cheese course of Gruyère shaved over a sorbet and baked apple and a Gruyère crouton flambéed in Kirsch. Dishes like the crab “memory of a HongKong street”, draw from their travels.
So good! Get yourself a table at La Table if you are ever in the area.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at L'Atelier d'Edmond at Maison Benoît Vidal
This was a fantastic meal at the 2* restaurant in Val D’Isere. Each dish put a big smile on my face. Great flavours. One can have a perfectly executed meal where you recognise the skill of the chef and you can’t fault it, but it leaves you cold. But in this case, me and chef Benoit Vidal are definitely on the same page when it comes to tasty food.... More
