Restaurant le Gai Soleil - Megève

We ate here as part of a Demi-pension package and the food was very tasty and plentiful. Friendly staff.

We decided to try this restaurant after eating in our own hotel a couple times. Made a reservation to eat outside around sunset. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. They offered a couple of fixed price menus, none of which entirely satisfied me, so a table mate and I combined our two fixed price menus to our satisfaction. Foie Gras appetizer was good, Salad Bostan (with smoked duck and ham) was very nice. On the mains, they totally fell apart. The only 2 of our group that did not complain were the two guys that had a local sausage for dinner. Those eating fish said it was dry as a bone (cod in a sauce) and those eating chicken said the same thing (if it weren 't for the bit of sauce on the chicken it woudl have been totally undesirable. We dubbed the chef the Fish Dryer . I would not go back, plenty of other places to try.

We always visit the restaurant in Le Gai Soleil while in Megeve. With the location slightly off the main village center and an understated entrance, it is easy not to pay attention. Do try it out. The restaurant is always a delightful experience, tastefully prepared dishes, good wine selection with a few half bottles and nice children menus. It is a real pleasure coming back every year.

Tout est parfait, de l'accueil aux chambres en passant par le restaurant. On ne peut pas être déçu. En prime, des tableaux d'une artiste locale pleine de talent ajoutent à l'ambiance.

Great hotel in a brilliant location in Megeve! The staff are wonderful and the food is so good! Will definitely be coming back soon.
