Remarkable Restaurant
Perched on the Col de la Forclaz, the Auberge de Montmin has managed to retain its rustic charm, surrounded by mountains, meadows, and cows. Chef Florian Favario and his wife Sandrine have developed a concept that combines high-quality local ingredients, exceptional preparation, and stunning presentation in a natural setting, complemented by professional yet unpretentious service. The exclusive, hidden-menu experience, priced at €300, brings together affluent diners who love surprises based on daily catches—and you’ll be in luck if crayfish are on the menu. Behind the title “Exceptional Catch of Lake Geneva Crayfish” lies a creatively presented selection, served in custom-crafted wooden containers designed to hold the bisque and its melt-in-your-mouth crayfish, crayfish sorbet, and accompanying sides. Lamb also takes center stage: confit leg and shoulder, grilled chops, confit garlic, and eggplant come together for a medley of bites, each more melt-in-your-mouth and fragrant than the last. Frosted Chartreuse and Edelweiss Chartreuse elixir bring this delightful experience to a close. The wine cellar, with its 700 selections, is brimming with fine bottles, with a strong focus on wines from Savoie. The service provided by Sandrine and her team is impeccable.
