Juicy diots (local sausages) in white wine are most popular at this welcoming wood-walled den, but the range of Savoyard cheese dishes is highly worthwhile. Try moelleux de revard (baked, spruce-wrapped cheese), or the sweet but strangely refreshing chevrotine (hot goat's cheese encrusted with honey and walnut, served with apple slices and rosemary-dusted potatoes). Reservations recommended.
