Lou Caboens - Samoëns

Good food, very helpful waiters Great location next to our heated ski lockers May need to book daily or you will not likely get a place at peak lunch time

One tine they canceled our reservation because we were 10 minutes late. On another occassion we could sit at a table at 2:15 pm, we ordered a drink, but 5 min later another waitress came and told us we could only stsy if we eat, she was arrogant

This restaurant is located to the right of the Grand Massif Express cable car station as you reach the top at 1600 m. Overall itwas a very good experience. A good and varied menu choice, reasonable prices and friendly service. We had a hamburger, a steak haché, an entrecote and some lamb chops, and it was generous and tasty, perfect on a cold snowy mid afternoon. Nothing fancy, but above the average ski resort restauarant. Recommended if you go ski in Samoens.

Genuinely lovely staff at this restaurant. It gets really busy between 12noon and 2pm so even in early season you'd need to book between these times. However, after this there are lots of spare tables. I was pleased to see that they still did the fabulous salad I had last year (Saint Marcellin cheese coated with walnut and hazelnut crumb). The salad itself is the best we have found in this area. No soggy limp lettuce here lots of different, fresh ingredients and a huge helping! The French onion soup was also lovely with a huge cheesy crouton yum!

Long sunny lunch. Best place on this bit of the mountain always a good sign when the ski instructors are there daily Stunning salads great steak. Service was slow but lovely.
