La Marmite - Bourg-Saint-Maurice

Very friendly and attentive hosts. Broad choice of Some regional specialties, a special kind of burger and some original traditional stew. Great options of coffee!

Excellent local Savoi menu...raclette, fondue etc plus other house creations. Warm welcome, very efficient service, nice wine list, lovely ambience. Hot plates on table and raclette burner all efficiently dealt with. Didn 't try any desserts though they looked very good. Good quality meal and enjoyable evening at a reasonable price.

Despite all attempts we were unable to get a table here for dinner as it is always fully booked. to me that is probably the best magnet when it comes to food if a restaurant is that popular then the food must be worth eating. so we settled for a lunch instead and I must admit we were pleasantly surprised. We had the pleasure of dining (by choice) outdoors where the restaurant is located in one of the most stunning spots at 1800. The view is beyond description and sunsets here must not be missed. Our food choice was fairly basic as it was a lunch but we opted for the Marmite salad (which I was a little unhappy with because the bread had been toasted far too much and my teeth struggled to get to grips with it). We also had one of the duck salads and the melted cheese dip that is so popular in these areas. The cheese was superb and the quantity in just one portion was more than enough for 3 of us to share and feel satisfied and all cheesed up. However again this was let down by the bread. I would have expected softer fresher bread whereas what I received was a little on the hard and dry side. Given that it is France I think the best bread (plus perhaps a selection of breads) is the least anyone could ask for. We also ordered the Marmite burger. Now this may sound like a boring choice and indeed I thought it would be but goodness me it was s superb piece of creativity. For those of you who hate marmite rest assured there is no marmite in anything here apart from the name of the restaurant. I suspect they chose the name because the place has a 'love it or hate ' feel about it. The burger meat was without doubt excellent cuts (and trust me I have eaten burgers the length and breadth of USA and Canada and EU and this was a good burger. topped with a mashed potato fritter and some caramelized onions and caramelized fried tomato it came with fries and naked (no bun) so a protein feast (if you dont eat the fries). In the evenings the place is buzzing and frankly a madhouse. I would say for lunch it is perfect for any type of diner but evenings it has more of a social feel to it or perhaps a noisy corner could be found for a romantic couple wanting to enjoy a wonderful view of the mountains. I have given them 4 stars for the following reasons: hard bread in the salad also not fresh a very scant and sad looking salad vert overpriced beer (although beer is overpriced everywhere at 1800)

Enjoyed a very pleasant meal with good service. As well as the traditional savoyarde food some interesting meat and fish dishes. Good service and nice wine
