Le Chalet de Pierres sur Saint-Bon-Tarentaise

26/01/2025: We were able to taste the menu in seven stages, this Saturday January 25, it was an incredible culinary experience with different flavors in the mouth. The staff took great care. So go there with your eyes closed, you will live an extraordinary experience.

21/01/2025: This review is for the restaurant: Our party is a unique case because one of us is vegan -- we notified them ahead, and they specifically created a 4 course vegan menu for them, so we went with the 5 course menu for the whole group. Some dishes (scallops, mushroom cappuccino, venison) were phenomenal — some of the best dishes we had in Courchevel, and the cheese selection was the best any of us have ever had anywhere. And the one word that everyone walked away with was: Presentation. The ambiance, plating, and even the table-side preparation made it feel like we were in a theatre production. The staff were also extremely kind, knowledgeable, and able to answer all of our questions. At the same time, despite being 5 courses, the dinner was 4 hours because of an hour+ long wait between the 4th course to the dessert & bill which was jarring, especially since the pacing for the rest of the dinner was otherwise okay. At the beginning, we were also asked if anyone else had any aversions — one has a strong one w/ mushrooms, but was served it several times while a server checked-in about it at the fourth course. One course was primarily mushroom and we understand the difficulty there, though most dishes could have had the mushrooms removed, such as truffle shavings on several. Commenting on the vegan menu (and thank you to the kitchen and staff for being accommodating), the flambéed leek and mushroom cappuccino were both standouts, as well as the shiso leaf sorbet towards the end; however, the fruit plate dessert was a little underwhelming, and the risotto with artichoke and truffle was a little bland and far too heavy — if that dish could have been replaced with two smaller dishes to ensure a 5 course meal along with everyone else, that would significantly help.
