Le Brezain sur Valmeinier

What can I say except that the food is 100% homemade and fresh? A truly excellent restaurant, from the steak frites on the children's menu with a real ground beef patty and delicious homemade fries, to two delectable Savoyard pizzas with sublime flavors. And the Reblochon cheese? It was so creamy and delicious, it was like eating pure cream. For dessert, a fresh fruit cup with a scoop of ice cream (really fresh fruit cut on-site). Obviously, if you're looking for a sterile, lifeless restaurant where the food is perfectly arranged on the plate, standardized and tasteless, then this isn't the place for you. The owner seems to be a person of character, truly passionate about good ingredients and respectful of people who appreciate good food. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The pizzas were good, but extremely sparse in toppings. Our pizzas were practically empty, with only about one slice of ham cut into four pieces per pizza, which wasn't very filling and meant some slices were just tomato sauce. The crust was also incredibly thin. Overall, this was far from what one would expect given the price: €45 for three pizzas. I only gave it three stars because the friendliness of the staff somewhat compensated for the glaring lack of toppings.

Great place, excellent service and prices! Thank you for the wonderful time we had, even though we were a large group without a reservation!

Cozy little restaurant in Valmeinier 1500. Not an extensive menu (mainly fondue or raclette for at least 2 people, and a wide selection of pizza), but the rump steak and the escalope savoyarde (for 1 person) are highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Approx. 40-45 euros per person for aperitif, meal, dessert, and wine with the meal, so certainly not expensive! I would definitely recommend this place!

We ate very well twice during our week-long holiday: the burgers and the Savoyard escalope were very well prepared and generous portions. The service was a little slow with young children, but that was just our impression.

Had a delicious meal, raclette. Friendly service and good food. Highly recommended.

We spent a week of our vacation in Valmeinier 1800 and couldn't find a restaurant that served Savoyard escalope. That's why we ended up at Le Brezain. I booked two days in advance for seven people without any problem, as the next day was already fully booked (which is always a good sign). We arrived a little early because we had underestimated the time it would take to get down from 1800; the bus is slower than the car. We were let in, but with the explanation that service hadn't started yet and we would have to wait, which is perfectly normal, but it was said rather curtly. We had to apologize several times because I was so uncomfortable. The waitress was very kind; she seated us quickly, handed out menus, and inquired about how we planned to get back to the station since there were no buses. She was very helpful and politely explained that we would have to wait. When it came time to choose our meals, there was another small problem. My two children wanted to eat the grilled meat like grown-ups, but the portions were too large for them (300g of meat per person), and the children's menu (which is standard) only offered minced steaks/nuggets. So we decided to buy an adult meal for both of them. We didn't hesitate too much, since it cost more than the two children's menus combined, meaning no "loss" for the restaurant and the children enjoyed eating with us. But to our surprise, the owner categorically refused, saying that the number of dishes ordered had to correspond to the number of children. We tried to explain, but it was no use; we had to order an extra dish. Finally, we decided (with the wise advice of our waitress, thank you again) to share the pizza, which calmed things down, but I was surprised by such a lack of understanding and flexibility. We tried to ask what the daily special was, but again, I felt like I was bothering her, and there was no answer. Anyway, moving on. We still had a very pleasant evening; everything was delicious. The Savoyard escalope melted in our mouths, the meat was truly exquisite, and even the extra pizza was something we were very happy to share. It was really well made, just perfect. Thank you to the chef. In short, if you want to eat well, don't hesitate; a good meal is guaranteed. From a management perspective… I understand some of the difficulties and constraints you face, and you can certainly establish rules to be followed; that's perfectly understandable. Sometimes customers cross the line, and you have to stand firm on the decisions made, okay, but all of this should be done in a more friendly, kinder tone. All in all, we ate well, but there was a bit of frustration at the beginning.

Fantastic restaurant. We went twice during our stay, and it was amazing. The welcome, the food, the atmosphere... they do everything to satisfy their customers. Go without hesitation! 😉😋

Excellent truffle fondue, generous portions, reasonable prices. Friendly waitress, owner/owner very attentive to customers who are a bit difficult 😝😝😝

A welcoming restaurant with homemade food! Fair prices and excellent staff! I highly recommend it.
