La ferme de la ruelle - Hauteluce

That was a very busy lunch place. It had to be because of its magnificent location and on this occasion the weather was particularly fabulous. If you have not booked a table in advance, you will be prepared for a long waiting period. Even at peak times, the bar service is very slow. A poor girl fights to serve a huge snake of people. Once you get a table, the service is alive and the food is good. It is clear that the cook is proud of the presentation. I would recommend this Auberge, but would also recommend if you can book in advance.

If you want lunch on a sunny, protected terrace with plenty of space. This is the place for you. The food is very consistent, but it is very busy. It is best to know exactly what you want when you order the food. You have a good...draft beer and the bar inside is nice with a big log fire. The employees are very professional and they deal efficiently with many people who speak several languages. Definitely one of our favorite spots on the mountain.

Ignored for 35 minutes. Poor girl waiting all over the place had no chance, so simply avoided eye contact and did her best what I suspect, but that was bad management. We were on the way when we finally got the chance to order. Eat... when it was okay, but nothing special. Try to wait half empty, but not a long one.

Most drinks and main dishes arrived quickly. Tartiflette was good, could have been a bit warmer. Friends also liked the main course. Some drinks never arrived. Getting dessert took a long time and our 8 coffees never arrived. Then we had to pay in the bar for 20 minutes. Try another place next time.

Always good and always welcoming. The food is yummy and is traditional Savoyarde fair. One to visit if you are on this part of the piste. The service on this occasion was excellent
