Dine at the newly-renovated Flocons de Sel Restaurant in Megève, France
After months of renovation, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant will reopen its doors just in time for this year’s ski season. With Emmanuel Renaut at the helm, this restaurant offers far more than a meal, it delivers a complete gourmet experience where fine dining meets the simplicity of the mountains. Guided by the seasons, Renaut’s own kitchen garden supplies fresh wild herbs, local vegetables and flowers, created dishes rooted in Alpine nature. Built upon trusted relationships with local producers, these dishes become extraordinary, showcasing the rich heritage and distinctive gastronomy of these mountains. Unsurprisingly, tables here are among the most sought-after in the Alps.
