(Review of dinner service at the * restaurant at this hotel, La Table de l'Ours)…read more The chef's tasting menu here at La Table de l'Ours is a Michelin-endorsed spectacle. Each course is better than the next and we all felt that the arctic char was a special achievement: a large portion that still "belonged" in a fine dining lineup. Everything from the seats to the plates was commendable. Only complaint was that dinner was painfully long. Nearly 4 hours passed between walking in and walking out of the restaurant. Really had us wishing they offered 5:30 PM reservations in Europe.

When I graduated high school, a long-lost French relative gave me a knife. Here at La Bouitte, a…read moresimilar-looking knife of similar significance accompanied me and my buddy Rhett for our entire meal. True to the region and everything one might expect when dining at a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant in France, this is the pinnacle of fine dining. This pinnacle is one you physically descend to reach if you're staying in Val Thorens. The 8-course tasting menu has more Easter eggs, so to speak, than an actual Easter basket. If this is one's first time encountering such a level of seriousness and perfectionism at a dinner table, you will find it overwhelming and exhausting. Even for me, a seasoned eater--a seasoned sitter--eclipsing four hours at La Bouitte was not a "marathon" for me. My best marathon finishing time is actually quite a bit faster. Aside from the endurance aspect (coupled with arranging reliable transportation to take you back to wherever you came from) it should be mentioned that the menu does extensively feature offal and classics like foie gras. This is not a place for picky American eaters, and not a place for the aspirational diner who wants to "collect" as many Michelin stars as possible. It's a log cabin wherein one can enjoy the meal of a lifetime, but it demands a certain palate and preparedness and, my god, travel time.

The wine pairing was a match made in heaven... by the sommelier. The service was top notch. The fact that they take your ski boots and give you fluffy slippers to wear is the icing on the cake (after the 3 dessert courses).
