Chef Julien Machet, your Savoyard peddler,, welcomes you to his table to share his dishes and cuisine at his gourmet restaurant: Le Farçon*. At the foot of the slopes of the La Tania Courchevel ski resort, at an altitude of 1,400 metres, you’ll discover traditional yet inventive cuisine, reimagined in a modern Savoyard setting.
Awarded a Michelin star since 2006, the restaurant is situated on the snow front of La Tania, at the foot of the 3 Vallées ski area, between Méribel and Le Praz-Courchevel.
The story of Le Farçon began on 27 December 1990, in the heart of the resort of La Tania, the newest addition to the 3 Vallées and the little sister of the giants Courchevel and Méribel. Chef Julien Machet arrived at Le Farçon in 2000. He injected new energy into the restaurant, leading to a radical overhaul of the menu in 2003. The small, traditional restaurant – formerly a crêperie – then set out towards new culinary horizons.
Chef Julien Machet’s spirit, passion and talent have taken Le Farçon off the beaten track and onto the path to Michelin stars.
This year, Julien Machet has completely refurbished his kitchen. Now open-plan, it allows you to watch, whilst you dine, the hustle and bustle behind the stoves as your dishes are prepared.
The restaurant offers breathtaking views of the peaks of the French Alps and the ski slopes of Courchevel. Its terrace, open only in summer, allows you to enjoy the surrounding natural landscape.
