La Haute-Bise - Châtel

Really nice restaurant, large selection of eat, great service, it can't fail at all. the steaks were very nice, I had the snail salad that was surprisingly beautiful

We had dinner at La Haute-Bise during our stay in Chatel and enjoyed it very much. Great local food we had the fondue with local mushrooms) while our sons enjoyed their turkey and chicken plates). The service was very good and friendly and the...local wine complemented the dishes very well. Arrive early to enjoy a drink on the terrace with mountain view and see the sun go down. Expect nothing fancy but the food, service and view will more than make up for it!

La Haute Bise does a lot of traditional local specialities plus having a dish of the day. Delicious desserts! I have visited a number of times and never been disappointed. At lunchtime you can normally sit outside and enjoy the views and the mountain air...while in the evening it is cosy and intimate by candlelight. Service is efficient and friendly.

We have visited this restaurant for many times in the last years or so during summer holidays and never were disappointed. It is a bit of a drive, you need to climb to meters, but it is a great place for lunch or...dinner. Call ahead to make reservations. You can hike a bit in the area and pick blueberries.

This is the most remote restaurant in Chatel right at the the end of the valley, perched up at the Col de Bassachaux Next stop is a track that takes you over the ridge and into the next valley. The building is plain...and old-fashioned no need to manufacture charm, here. The windows are large and have spectacular views over both valleys and the distant surrounding peaks. TIP if you make a booking, specifically ask for a table by a window. The food is old fashioned, Savoyard style the portion sizes are enormous and it is all very tasty. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Haut Bise is the name given to the strong wind found in these parts (think alpine Mistral) and on the evening we were there, we were treated to a spectacular display of apocalyptic looking clouds forming and sweeping down into the valleys. Nature's own entertainment. Just breathtaking. This place is a must if you visit Chatel. ND In Summer (don't know about winter) it is closed on Tuesdays.
