La Crémaillère, Taninges
his is our favourite place for a special celebration. Situated in Taninges at the exit of the valley around 20-30 minutes drive so you will need a car to go there. Modern french, often with an asian twist. A nice change if you have eaten too many Savoyarde specialities. Lovely in Summer as it has a great terrace and is situated on the edge of a lake.
