Their specialities include things like Bellevillois Croque Monsieur created by Guy Martin, cayon casserole, raclette, croziflette, “Grandma Josephine” pear and chocolate flavoured dessert, vanilla and cherries Polenta, and “the 1957” blueberry génépi created by Cédric Pernot.

They have a farm, a cheese dairy, gardens and farm shop that's worth a visit too.  You can take a guided visit around the farm and see how the cheese is made.

In the evening, the restaurant is accessed on foot with parking close by and a small walk up the snowy and torchlit path.
