Few restaurants are awarded the distinction of 2 stars in the Michelin Guide. This year's newcomer to this very exclusive category is ‘Les Grandes Alpes’, in Couchevel, Savoie.

With a kitchen that opens onto the dining room and can seat between 8 and 20 guests, Les Grandes Alpes is a complete and exquisite culinary experience, perfectly combining plants, the flavours of travel and the high quality of produce from the Alps and beyond.

1 star also acquired this year for l'Alpage in Courchevel

Just a few months after opening at the Hotel Annapurna in Courchevel (Savoie), the ‘L'Alpage’ restaurant has already been awarded its first star in the Michelin Guide 2024.

Chef Jean-Rémi Caillon pays homage to the majesty of the Alps in his dishes, which are always composed according to the season and using top-quality local produce chosen from around the heights of Courchevel.

What also sets the restaurant apart is its commitment to sustainable cuisine. In association with the Pinturault family, they work together to offer a menu with a special focus on plants, using quality local produce that is always in season, in order to reduce the impact of today's cuisine on the environment.
