"We had not been to Chez Denis for years since we had been skiing elsewhere but made a beeline for it upon returning to Chatel: we were not disappointed! The place has not changed a bit and is sill the same welcoming atmospheric rustic cabin...on the edge of the Plaine Dranse area. The food is all local with the traditional Savoie/Haute Savoie cheese dishes dominating the menu (although there are soups, sausage with cabbage, omelettes etc also My daughter had the local variant of a tartiflette (with the owner's own Abondance cheese and three of us shared a meat platter with reblochonnade (a charcoal fired oven placed on the table in which you cook reblochon cheese on mini-frying pans before pouring it onto potatoes There is also a fabulous selection of home baked pastries for desert. Wine is available by carafe and is of a very good standard. Booking in advance is very advisable. The owner is a charming man and he has the friendliest of staff. Value for money is exceptional. the only problem is trying to ski after filling yourself with the wonderful food!"
