L'Arcelle sur Lanslevillard

It was lovely to eat in the sunshine and peace and quiet. We all enjoyed our meals!

By booking in advance, I was able to try the fondue and raclette, and both were excellent! The cheese wasn't heavy, and the charcuterie was flavorful. The desserts were varied, with many ice cream flavors and a homemade crème brûlée that was definitely worth trying. The staff always made sure you had everything you needed. It's a truly wonderful family-run establishment!

Very good restaurant, there's a really wide selection. We enjoyed our meal. The "tropitrolles" were excellent 😂

Excellent food. We come every year. Never disappointed. Very friendly owner!

A traditional restaurant with high-quality, locally sourced products. I was disappointed that some dishes required reservations, but I understand that with fresh ingredients, it's necessary to avoid waste. I was just passing through and looking for a warm and welcoming place. This was the perfect spot for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and it was reasonably priced. The wine was a bit expensive (€30 for 50cl), but oh well. It was a shame it was a little chilled for my taste. However, it was a pleasant and enriching experience, with the owner being very approachable and even offering me a complimentary aperitif when I paid the bill. Thank you again.

We had our eye on this restaurant for several years, thanks to excellent reviews and a full reservation more than a month in advance. So we went there for Christmas Eve with high expectations… but the experience was quite disappointing. First of all, despite the Christmas Eve theme, nothing evoked the festive atmosphere: no little touches, not even an amuse-bouche. Instead, just dry biscuits, which is a real shame for an evening that was supposed to be special. The tartiflettes were clearly lacking in flavor: you could barely taste the potato, and the accompaniments were very minimal (two gherkins and two slices of cured ham, which didn't seem to be country ham). The fondue was decent but nothing special. I ordered a tartine with potatoes and melted cheese, but the bread was stale: even toasted, the crust shouldn't be that hard. For dessert, we opted for ice cream rather than the desserts advertised as homemade, as the rest of the meal didn't inspire us to continue. So, a mixed experience, especially considering the restaurant's reputation and the Christmas Eve setting. There are clearly better options. And apparently, the owner is acting in bad faith, as he doesn't accept criticism. I should mention that I didn't initially point out the pizza, which was aesthetically disgusting, and not even the one I ordered… In short, a series of horrors; I absolutely do not recommend it. We've been coming here for five years, and we'd never been to this restaurant before, and we were right not to! When I mentioned it to the locals, they indeed advised me against going because the ingredients aren't good. As for the Génépi, wow, what an achievement! Every time we pay the bill somewhere, we get a free drink… As for malice, there isn't any; criticism is constructive, and some people are better at it than others.

I highly recommend it. Excellent food, both quantity and quality. Very friendly and professional staff. Go there with your eyes closed.
