4. La Taverne du Brichon Restaurant

Authentic fondue and raclette restaurant in a former dairy dating from 1987

Location
Les Deux Alpes

Knowledge and expertise over three generations of knowledgeable cheesemongers has led to the creation of this unique restaurant, offering high quality local cheese-based dishes in their former dairy. A true traditional mountain experience not to be missed.

The family dairy has evolved over generations into a restaurant, where guests now dine in the ageing cellar where the cows were once housed, and where the cheese is still matured. Try their carefully aged cheeses in the form of fondues or raclettes.

Dining is taverna-style, with long tables and convivial atmosphere. It's great for larger groups.

They offer a simple set menu to showcase their excellent cheeses. The menu includes a starter or side salad, choice of main from the two cheese options, and choice of dessert made with their fresh dairy produce.

Alternatively, you can choose their cheese-tasting menu, which includes salad, a selection of their cheeses, charcuterie, soup and dessert.

There is no set children's menu, but smaller children's portions are available at a cheaper price.
