Le Trio - Montgenèvre

Went for evening meal based on this being the number one spot in Montgenevre and seemed to be the only restaurant open in town that had Tartiflette on the menu. Nice welcome although we were sat right next to another table when there were other free tables around that were not reserved. Had to wait a while for what appeared to be the only wine and food menus in the place after another table (who arrived after us) had finished with them. Told Tartiflette was not available that evening!! Why???? It's potato, lardons, onions and cheese! What on earth didn't they have? Nice complimentary croutons with a tapenade, and nicely presented amuse bouche of deep fried calamari (although for a restaurant that prides itself on local produce not sure where they caught that locally). I had the confit de canard and my partner had the pork rib. My confit came with a orange sauce that luckily was served separately as it was very sharp and the duck, although crispy, was rather dry. My partner's rib was large and charred on the outside and slightly underdone on the inside so did not come off the bone easily nothing special. Both came with the same accompaniments and the tastiest part of the meal we agreed was the homemade ratatouille. Also off the menu that night was anything with truffles which they seem to specialise in as everything could come with truffles (for a supplement). Decided not to go for a desert but had a coffee which was OK. For the prices they charge and the amazing reviews they have, we were expecting better, and there are better in Montgenevre.

Amazing food, wine, service and atmosphere! We can really recommend this restaurant! If we could give 6 starts we would do.

We had a great lunch here consisting of a beer and a burger, great little find just off the piste. The burger was yummy Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
