L'Oeil De Boeuf - Saint-Bon-Tarentaise

We knew before the booking that this was an expensive restaurant, but it looked nice inside and the staff was friendly so we thought we would treat ourselves. we both had the sirloin steak with maish potatoes. before the name of the restaurant we expected the best steak of all time. we were asked if we like original or truffle mas, we decided to truffle that expected them a surcharge, but €20 per!? then the steak, there was no possibility, it was sirloin. it looked more like stripes of braising steak. Whatever it was, long slow cooking did not take a few minutes each side. it was hard like old boots and took a lot of baking strength to chew us through them. the next table has exactly the same problem. we chose the cheapest dishes 2 starter, 2 mains and the cheapest wein on the menu €165. huge disappointment

I haven't visited this restaurant in 1550 for a few years. the charming young owner pierre and his partner aurélie are very welcoming and the menu is varied and somewhat different from the usual savoyarde spécialités. they still offer bark etc., cooked on an open...fire, but the cod cooked in kokosmilch, the filet mignon de porc en croûte and the raviolies de royal were all delicious. the desserts are very generous and very tasty, especially the crumbs! we are very happy to go back very soon!

When you like beef (I love it), and you like cheminée taste, don’t miss this one. The young côte de boeuf is as good as the aged one, not to forget the perfect real béarnaise sauce, we went three times there is 6 days. And...the owner and his team are extremely friendly, which is not the case everywhere in Courchevel. A gem!

Lovely outside terrace with views of the slopes but this alone was the highlight of our lunch. My wife had a basic salad which she said was ok, I had the pork which was served with an innocuous and tasteless green mush and reasonable gratin...potatoes. I can hardly cook but I could truly do better than what was served. This is basic home cooking and not worth the extortionate prices. Far better restaurants in 1550 and worth walking the extra 50 meters.

Lovely atmosphere and food. Had an amazing meal and will revisit Staff were lovely and read the whole menu to us in English. Highly recommend prices are not cheap but well worth it for a lovely meal
