La Grignotte
Antoinette had us go to La Grignotte in Le Sappey for lunch, in honor of both Frank and Linnea being in town. A little expensive for lunch but delicious.
Everyone but me seemed to be having large fantastic salads with mountain ham, cheeses, but augmented with lots of interesting little tidbits. By 1 pm I was hungry so ordered duck breast which came basted in honey-orange sauce, with tiny green beans, a gratin dauphinois in which they'd hid pieces of salt ham, and a few nice side objects like a brochette of onions, tomatoes, and zucchini that seemed to be confit.
Recommended, but you should ride up there to the col de Porte beforehand to deserve it.
