Le Confins Des Sens sur Le Grand-Bornand

Good food but service not up to par. First the good news. We tested the Confins des Sens this Easter Monday with a unique and special lunch menu for €75. The results are at the level of expectations: good classic cuisine with a zest of creativity (very first experience of the Bescoin Savoyard brioche accompanying the very good foie gras, veal cooked at low temperature tasty and particularly tender, classic but tasty chocolate dessert, menu of rich and interesting wines...). So on the kitchen side, great performances despite some slightly bland flavors (the arctic char starter) and the somewhat modest portions (but that's normal for a tasting meal with two starters, two main courses and two desserts!) . Not so good news now. Decoration ordinary and without any particular charm: the floor in large red terracotta tiles and the summer terrace in slabs of washed gravel look cheap, we don't really know if we are in a restaurant that wants to be gourmet/sophisticated, or a "restaurant for friends” without fuss. Positioning to be clarified. The service, however, is below our expectations: the two people in charge are not unpleasant, just not attentive to details: if the arrangement of the table does not suit you, you are told "do as you wish" and we leaves you to fend for yourself; they seem to be watching your plate to clear it within 30 seconds of finishing it; we practice a zest of familiarity ("are you from the area?" or, when the bottle of wine is finished, "well! that's done!), we don't know the detailed content of the menu: to our question about what the "bescoin" is that we didn't know: "I don't know, I'm going to find out"; we open the box of tea bags for your neighbor 5cm from your face; we lie down almost on the table in front of you to pick up an object placed on the opposite side, etc. A little training for service staff seems essential to take a step forward...

A feast for the eyes and taste buds the discovery menu was delicious special mention to the foie gras soup 😱 The service enhances the creations of the kitchen we highly recommend!! 😋

A great time, excellent food. Very professional and pleasant service. I recognize the touch of the Faber family

A beautiful place to make great culinary discoveries

We feasted. It was very good and very well presented. We highly recommend this restaurant to have a great time.

The loveliest restaurant!! We had a fantastic experience, the waitresses were really helpful and easy to talk to. The food is insanely amazing, and beautifully presented. Overall a wonderful meal we will def return!!

Too bad the rating stops at 5 stars. This restaurant deserves double. Pleasant and caring welcome. The waitresses are smiling and attentive to our requests, especially regarding my wife's allergies. As for the cuisine, it is simply beautiful and good in the mouth. I recommend this place if you are in the area!

Great discovery, warm atmosphere with smiling and friendly waitresses, exceptional cuisine that delights the taste buds. Let yourself be carried away by the Stroll menu with complete confidence, a treat!

We had booked for 8 p.m. and we arrived 30 minutes late, we apologized when we arrived. We ate very well as always. The food is always excellent. However, we were disappointed by the service which was too abrupt, dynamic and expeditious. The plates are placed too roughly which is a shame because the work of the kitchen must be valued!!! At the time of the bill the room manager called us to order because we had been late and explained to us that next time she would not keep the table for us (even though there were 3 tables free). There are ways to address your customers so yes we were late, we apologized when we arrived, and what's more there was an error in our telephone number and as a result you couldn't reach us . But finishing a romantic meal, with remonstrances and warnings, very little for me!!!! Damage!!!!

Super lieu de gastronomie. Cadre magnifique. Mets délicieux. Je recommande
