I visited La Chouette in Les Menuires based on recommendation of my friends, visiting this restaurant before. I have to admit, that my request was not quite standard - asking for local food, but no fondue, raclette, tartiflette, as I had problem to digest it in Switzerland (Gstaad) before. I would have expected some light meals like the duck/ deers / boars with berries, mushrooms, or similar - finally I got recommendation for steak with foie gras sauce (typicall Savoyean one). When ordering this, I have got an information that they do not have foie gras sauce :-( Except of above, the information about the wine served was quite poor for French Restaurant and the knife was blunt, so I have fin...
Ils ne proposent pas les burgers et pizzas classiques que la plupart des endroits de ski font, mais peuvent quand même vous fournir tout le gras, les glucides et les protéines dont vous avez besoin avec leur large sélection d'excellents plats et crêpes. Un service excellent et une excellente cuisine, l'un des meilleurs endroits à Bruyères. Je pensais que le nom du restaurant venait du mot français pour chouette mais ce n'est que à moitié vrai. Il est en fait nommé d'après le cheval de Napoléon, 'Chouette', qui est décédé en mai 1800 lorsque Napoléon traversait les Alpes et a été enterré sous ce qui est maintenant le télésiège de Bruyères. Le surnom de Joséphine pour lui était La Chouette, ca...
We when to this place as a group of 12. They did not bat an eye lid, just re-arranged some tables and down we sat. Service and food excellent. The house wine by 250 or 500 cl was good value and flavour. Lamb chops were good but you need to ask for well done if you do not want pink. I had a good La Chouette (owl) steak one night but it was the most expensive thing on the menu. They also do a good fish platter as well as fondue.
Très bon repas, le service était très sympa et attentif, on parle français et anglais. La salle est agréable et animée, très jolie. La nourriture a été servie très rapidement. Les crêpes étaient délicieuses. On pouvait voir à quel point ils étaient rigoureux en nettoyant toutes les tables à la fin de la journée.

We went back to this place partly for the dessert called a leigois which we had in the coffee flavor. The duck and lamb are very good. It's a bit slow on the service end but if you aren't in any rush it's fine. Very convenient for those in the Bruyeres area.
Catered for 19 people really efficiently. Some of us popped back for lunch the next day as well. Varied menu, lots of choice which was ideal for a large group. Food presented attractively and the service was splendid. Good area for eating outside too.
Nous avons visité deux fois pendant notre semaine de ski. Les crêpes sont vraiment délicieuses et changent des autres restaurants. J'aurais aimé essayer tout sur le menu ! Le gérant et le personnel sont très amicaux et serviables.
we had 3 dinners in this restaurant partly because there are few options in Les Bruyeres, but also because this is one of the good restaurants in place. Good Service and nice Staff.

Sit at the bottom of slopes, inside or out, and watch the world go by. Food is good value and portion sizes match. Staff very friendly and helpful if you're not sure
Good value and extensive menu for a major ski resort. Great Crêpes and salads. They also cater for Children.
