Eric Frechon is the chef behind La Ferme Saint-Amour, and his is the first name I mention when a guest asks me where to eat in Megève. The restaurant stands at 181 Rue Saint-François de Sales, 74120 Megève, in the village itself, so it slots easily into an evening out in town.
His name is the reason I recommend this table with such confidence, and I think you will see why once the menu is in front of you. When someone asks me for a dinner worth remembering, his is the name that comes to mind straight away.
The cooking is contemporary and creative, and it is a winter cuisine, written for the season in the mountains. I send guests here when they want a dinner that feels modern and carefully thought through, rather than a menu they have eaten a dozen times before. It suits the cold months, when a good meal is part of the day's plan.
This is a restaurant I am happy to put my name to. Do tell me how you found it when you are back at the house, as I would be glad to hear.
