RESTAURANT REVIEW
Located in the heart of the French Alps, Emmanuel Renaut’s kitchen focuses on the lush products that come from the region. Renaut is equally comfortable working with ingredients that come from the earth and those from a local body of water; the result is a menu that includes dishes like turnip and red cabbage dumplings in a vegetable and horseradish broth, as well as pike and monkfish from Lake Geneva, served with a crunchy biscuit and onion jus. Given the location in the Haute-Savoie, it is not surprising to hear reviewers rave about a “superlative cheese cart filled with beautiful local cheeses.” There was also praise for the setting; the décor in the bright dining room was described as “a modernized Alpine style without too much kitsch.”
