L'Atelier Restaurant
A gourmet, Michelin guide and Gault Millau restaurant at the Hotel Samoyede
Talented young chef at L'Atelier, Alexandre Baud-Pachon, takes inspiration from local produce and their combination with spices to present you with dishes that will remind you how mountain gastronomy is not only limited to cheese.
Alexandre Baud-Pachon, originally from Morzine, has been taught by the greats: “Les Pres d’Eugenie” with Michel Guerard, “Le Chat Botte” in Geneva, “Le Bateau Ivre” with Jean Pierre Jacob in Bourget du Lac and in Courchevel.
Every day Alexander offers a new unique three or four course set menu, no ordering needed. You can view the menus for the week online and book according to your preferred menu choice. All the options are created with the finest flavours using local produce and you will enjoy a unique moment. The wine cellar, diverse and specialised, comprises 200 labels and over 10,000 bottles. There you can find a wonderful representation of French vineyards.
The summer garden offers a great setting for lunch or dinner at the back of the hotel with a lovely view of the surrounding alpine mountains. Here are examples from the winter menu to give you an idea of the quality of food Alexandre produces:
