La Ferme à Elise sur Saint-Cergues

Very pleasant staff and good food 👍

We were looking for a highly-rated Savoyard restaurant in the area. We chose La Ferme à Élise, and we weren't disappointed. We shared a traditional raclette with a small salad, something we usually only make at home. The charcuterie platter for two was very generous and made with high-quality products. The cheese was excellent. We couldn't finish our portions. One small drawback: the place is noisy and tries too hard to be rustic (why do Savoyard restaurants have to be so kitschy?). The atmosphere is a bit oppressive, and with the heat from the raclette grill, let's just say it's an experience. It's worth noting that the restaurant offers many other dishes. The waiter removed the rosette sausage and replaced it with dried beef (since we didn't like it), which was very kind of him, especially since it's not the same price, as we know. I still prefer raclette at home, because I can add eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions—basically vegetables—which allows for a variety of flavors, something the restaurant doesn't offer (apart from the salad). It was still very nice, worth trying once, but I still prefer more elaborate cuisine. However, if you're looking for a good raclette at a restaurant, go for it.

Superb place, I recommend it. The staff are a bit eccentric, but good.

Excellent experience. Well-prepared dishes, the atmosphere, the view of Lucky and his friends to entertain the children (and their parents), the welcoming and friendly boss… it’s perfect.

Well, it's a bit expensive for what I ate: €33 for the ribeye steak, okay... It's a shame, the setting is nice, but it's for rich people who work in Switzerland, I think.

The welcome, service, and food were all excellent! 👌 We had a great time. Thank you to the young woman from Narbonne for her service. It's lovely to see this level of service. A wonderful discovery!

La Ferme à Élise in Saint-Cergues first captivates with its warm and authentic Savoyard décor. From the moment you step inside, you're immersed in a mountain chalet atmosphere: wood paneling is everywhere, there's a stone fireplace, antique objects adorn the walls, and cozy nooks create a friendly and intimate ambiance. The exterior, with its garden and animals, reinforces this "working farm" feel, appealing to both adults and children. As for the food, the dishes are rather simple, which might seem surprising in such a refined setting. The steak tartare, for example, requires you to season it yourself, which is a shame and could be improved to offer a more complete experience. Despite this, the overall experience remains pleasant and reassuring, especially for a convivial meal with family or friends. In short, La Ferme à Élise is worth a visit for its unique ambiance and décor, even if the cuisine could benefit from more finesse and preparation. A charming place, but with a slight drawback in the food.

We came to eat with high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience was mixed. The service was particularly slow, with a long wait between courses. We also had to ask for bread and a carafe of water, which were never offered to us spontaneously. The same was true for a salad served in a large platter in the middle of the table, without individual plates, which was quite surprising. The atmosphere is rather noisy, which doesn't help in having a pleasant time, especially with the already slow service. That said, the food was quite good, which somewhat redeems the overall experience. It's a shame about the service and organization, because there's potential.

We had dinner at La Ferme d’Élise for the first time tonight and had a wonderful time. The service was quick and efficient, and the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, perfect for a meal with family or friends. It felt almost like being in a mountain chalet! A lovely little bonus: the adorable pony that was right in front of us. Thank you for the warm welcome; we will gladly return. See you soon!

The staff were pleasant, responsive, and competent. From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was very good and the portions were generous.
