Restaurant Bagatelle, a gourmet summit in Courchevel

After Ibiza, Saint-Tropez, London, New York, Miami, Sao Paulo, Punta del Este, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Bahrein and Saint-Barth, the Bagatelle experienced has landed in Courchevel. At an altitude of 2 250 meters, the place is animated by joy of living, a taste for top notch products with a subtle mix of savoury updated French cuisine, with a sound background worthy of a night-club.

Bagatelle, towering above Courchevel

Accessible on skis or by cable-car, its impressive terrace is the glitzy rendezvous of the golden generation that has come to glide down the snowy slopes and also party in this sophisticated setting, during a stay in the most upscale mountain resort of the French Alps. Generosity, smiles and prices in keeping with the amenities offered are the winning assets to seduce an exacting clientele.

A gastronomical show and live dancing

The venue benefits from the talents of sommelier Frédéric Lebeau, who picked the best vintages from Bordeaux and his Burgundy for his wine list. In the kitchen, one finds the know-how of Bilal Amrani, a chef, who started out in Carpentras, travelled between England and Marrakech, then took part in the glory days of the château de la Messardière and the Hôtel La Solivière before meeting this new challenge. His ambition is to please, by offering on his menu, coquillettes pasta with truffle juice, baked king crab, ceviche of scallops with caviar and spiny lobster baked on embers. Noble and very well prepared products, to be enjoyed with a group of inside-trackers after or before party time… A la carte: €100.
