L'Alcôve
Embrun
27/08/2026: Of course—I only lightly edited your text, mainly correcting grammar, spelling, and a few awkward phrasing issues. I deliberately retained your personal style and subjective assessment.
We were at L’Alcôve a few days ago. I wasn't particularly satisfied, nor was I extremely dissatisfied; it was more satisfactory.
First, the positives: The staff are very motivated and strike me as professional and determined. They were very courteous and friendly at reception, which flattered us. We had made a reservation, so I can't comment on walk-ins, but we were allowed to choose our own table, meaning it was incredibly quiet.
My subjective opinion regarding the ambiance is more "meh" than "wow." Of course, it's important to remember that the space is quite small, making it difficult to find large tables and plenty of legroom. There's an outdoor terrace and a few tables inside. The tables are rather narrow, which makes them unsuitable for larger orders, as you have to spread soy sauce and glasses onto the neighboring table. Unfortunately, we were seated in a puddle that had seeped from the air conditioning unit (inside) all the way to the terrace. The floor in the men's restroom is a bit crumbly, but the rest of the bathroom is functional.
Now for the food.
We ordered a little bit of everything and paid around €56 for our entire visit (excluding drinks, as water was sufficient that evening), which is relatively expensive compared to other restaurants. We had to wait a while, but the fried sushi was still very warm and everything tasted fresh. The scampi rolls were the best of all.
Overall, though, the sushi didn't impress us, as the flavors weren't particularly outstanding. The wasabi (as is unfortunately the case in many restaurants) was just a mixture, very crumbly, and made from a powder substitute. It doesn't taste like wasabi, nor is it spicy, and they should really offer a better option to ensure satisfaction.
We might have to come back to try more of the menu, but as it stands, it's neither bad nor good – a bit pricey for what you ultimately get.
This is, of course, based on my subjective experience, and I'd like to commend the friendly staff once again for their hospitality. 😌
23/08/2026: A somewhat mixed experience: the prices are okay, the food is good, the staff are friendly, but there aren't enough of them for the service: the wait is far too long!
