Auberge du Pré Vieux sur Le Grand-Bornand

Excellent meal, very good food, the staff was a mixed bag. One person was very welcoming and understanding, and even offered us something extra when we were eyeing a friend's plate. But next to them, another person was very cold and almost unpleasant. So, a mixed bag, but very good overall.

A very warm welcome, delicious food, and a wonderful time! This isn't our first visit; we come back every year with just as much pleasure. We highly recommend this place! (Thanks to the owner for letting me have a seat so I could smoke a cigar without disturbing the rest of the terrace.)

The food is good, the service efficient, but the price is a bit high.

Good food. Good ingredients, but slow service, even though it wasn't very busy. I had to ask for the receipt; the manager told me the price without giving me the bill.

Twice in one week, tried and tested! 😇 Friendly and professional service, delicious food, and a refreshing change from most traditional restaurants. Reservations recommended!

The Auberge du Pré Vieux boasts a typically Savoyard setting that immediately makes an impression. Nestled in a peaceful, easily accessible location, with a lovely terrace and pleasant mountain views, the establishment invites relaxation. The welcome is initially friendly, and the staff remains available throughout the meal. The service is generally efficient and pleasant, although it becomes somewhat impersonal and strained when a complaint is maderized wine. One senses, however, that the team is accustomed to managing a large number of covers, sometimes at the expense of more personalized attention. The menu features classic Savoyard dishes. The portions are generous and the food comforting, but the quality is rather inconsistent. The starter, a perfect egg surrounded by creamed corn and popcorn, is only enticing in name. An unexpected offering given the setting, technically accomplished, but the excessive sweetness from the corn made it feel more like a dessert than a starter. The fondue we ordered was generously portioned, beautiful, and creamy, but the cheese was completely lacking in flavor and character, while others lacked character or seasoning. The prices are consistent with those in a tourist resort like Le Grand-Bornand, but the value for money leaves a slight impression of incompleteness, of potential for improvement. Ultimately, the Auberge du Pré Vieux remains a pleasant place to enjoy an authentic mountain setting, and, not wanting to end on a mixed note, we will return to try the meat dishes, which sound promising.

Great restaurant with beautiful view

Warm welcome, friendly service, and good food; a top-notch L-bone steak.

A wonderful experience at this restaurant where the dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious, and the staff are incredibly welcoming with a genuine sense of service. Extremely kid-friendly (which is rare, so worth mentioning), we had a marvelous evening with our son. Thank you!

Excellent local food. Very friendly owner. Pleasant setting.
