La Porte Des Aravis - La Clusaz

We order a bottle of Bordeaux wine and the waiter brought it already open. It's a trap for tourists. Definitely to avoid.

Long and winding road with lots of S bends but the views from this restaurant are amazing even more so if it is nice enough weather to sit at an outside table. Choice of salads, pizzas, burgers and other grilled meats and some delicious looking desserts. Service was friendly and quite quick they are clearly used to catering for coach loads who make this a stopping point, quite understandably.

We stopped for lunch on our final day at La Giettaz. The restaurant is at the very top of the La Giettaz facing side of the Col du Aravis- a real cycling mecca- with an event starting off from the car park whilst we were there. There is a large restaurant plus a decent size deck- which with the views is a better option- even if its a bit cold and windy. If you choose your table well you can find a bit of shelter. Its a very meaty menu and the food is pretty good quality- not excellent- but decent nevertheless. Between us we had the house burger and a Pork platter (diot, pork and farcemeat stuffing). Food was enjoyable- but the scenery is the reason to go here. There are other restaurants at the top, we did eat at one of the others- but nothing to write home about- we did nearly go to the restaurant opposite this one- but it wasn't actually open when it said it would be. This is the only one I'd recommend

Perfect reception, listen to customers and small care. Two very dynamic women offer a service of kindness and efficiency. succulent dishes, sunny terrace, white mountain view! And the blueberry pie is a murder! we will return for our next high savoy trip

Beautiful terrace , superb view , pleasant environment . pleasant, efficient and effective service. good dishes, all at a very affordable price a beautiful stage
