La Table des Granges is the gastronomic restaurant of the exclusive Deep Nature Resort “Les Granges d’en Haut” above Les Houches.

You’ll be greeted warmly at the door and seated at elegantly set tables (crisp linens, polished glassware) by professionally trained staff. Because it’s a bit outside the town center (perched in the hills of Les Chavants), La Table des Granges offers a tranquil, intimate ambiance away from the bustle – an exceptional setting by the fireplace, outside the city . Romantic dinners, celebratory family meals, and even well-heeled skiers’ lunches are all part of its clientele.
Cuisine & Signature Dishes
The restaurant prides itself on inventive French cuisine with Alpine inspiration . Head Chef Maxime Laroy (an up-and-coming young chef ) delivers a seasonal menu that might include starters like chestnut soup with truffle foam or local crayfish ravioli.

There’s always a vegetarian option highlighting market vegetables in creative ways. Portions are artfully presented and balanced in richness. One beloved dish is their take on farmhouse chicken, slow-cooked and served with morel cream sauce, which diners consistently praise. And of course, save space for dessert: the pastry chef might serve up a modernized tartiflette dessert (don’t worry, it’s sweet!) or a classic molten chocolate cake with génépi ice cream. The wine list is superb, featuring fine French wines and some regional Savoie wines that pair excellently with the cuisine. With flawless service and delightful dishes that tantalize the taste buds , every course here feels carefully executed .
