La Marmite de l'Echanson sur Leynes

A warm, mountain setting just the way we like it; top-notch service and exceptional cuisine! What more could you ask for?!

The restaurant is rather small, but the food is excellent, especially the fondues! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our meals and had a very pleasant evening.

Best atmospheric breakfast ever

A so-so experience at this mountain restaurant! The food was decent enough, though not exactly delicious. I ordered the duck breast flambéed with Chartreuse. The combination wasn't the most harmonious, and the flambéing didn't mask the harsh taste of the alcohol. The steak tartare was quite good, as were the kidneys. We also came for an aperitif and ordered cocktails: mojitos and Negronis. Unfortunately, both were undrinkable. These aren't things you can just throw together, and if you offer them on the menu, you need to know what you're doing, especially the proportions! For dessert, we ordered the chocolate mousse duo (the texture was runny and the flavor was indistinguishable) and a cheesecake, which was very good. It's a mountain restaurant, so the price is obviously high, but a little more effort could be made given the quality of the food! Also worth reviewing are the prices of extras: €1 for a birthday candle… really? €2 for whipped cream (when the bottle probably costs €1.50, it's outrageous). Perhaps they should also consider installing ventilation because when the room fills up, opening the doors that lead outside onto the snow isn't very pleasant! The staff are friendly, but for the price paid, perhaps they should consider something else!

Excellent value for money in a warm setting and top-notch service 👍🏼 I recommend it!

Excellent restaurant. Everything was perfect, I highly recommend it.

Absolutely perfect, you want local? Then go for it!

A delightful evening! The hot stone grill was excellent, and the raclette was superb. We highly recommend it!! Impeccable service

As every year we had an exceptional evening, Thomas's service was simply perfect, he made our evening unforgettable.

We went into this restaurant for lunch today because the daily special looked tempting. And we weren't disappointed! From the appetizer to the dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (the butternut squash soup... absolutely delicious!!!). Even the children's menus were a big hit with our kids. And all this for a very reasonable price. The service was excellent, with very kind and friendly waitresses. We'll definitely be back! 👏🏻😊
