Restaurant L'Op Traken sur Les Contamines-Montjoie

10/02/2026: Wow! At L’O the food was incredible - every dish felt like a delicacy. We had the three course set menu which to our surprise also came with two additional small dishes as a first appetiser (carrot mousse and veal) and a first dessert (caramel mousse?). We had the roasted tuna with pineapple salsa for starter, which came similar to a lightly seared tuna but with a light crispy coating on the outside - very satisfying to have the crunch alongside the soft and delicate texture of the rare tuna. My main was grilled beef tenderloin which was again cooked to perfection medium rare (served as you request). The accompaniments for the beef were also incredible including a whole roasted shallot which was so tender and with such a deep umami flavour. For dessert I had the chocolate passionfruit which was also very enjoyable. Wait staff were wonderful, they made the place feel warm, welcoming and comfortable. They were so pleasant to talk to and were helpful with the food and wine menus. My friend is unable to eat gluten and the team were very accommodating to this with multiple options available. Atmosphere was relaxed yet refined. I could tell others around us were enjoying their meals as much as we were. The meal was surprisingly good value given the outstanding quality, coming at €100 for the three course meal (really five course with those two additional dishes) for two people including 1x€10 supplement for the beef tenderloin and a glass of wine each. Thank you! We are visiting the area but would want to return just for L’O!
