Each dish combines flavour sensations from across the globe with local produce actually picked from Michel Rochedy’s own garden. All dishes are complimented perfectly by a fantastic wine list. Stephane’s signature dish is the “nose to tail” free-range mountain pig – a fusion of pig cheek confit with Savoie wine, gratin of crozets and Beaufort cheese. You can’t get a better blend of traditional and gourmet than that!
