You have arrived here because you searched for a specific page on my old blog Taste of Savoie! Sorry for the confusion I have updated my blog to www.tasteofsavoie.com to improve the style and ease of use, but a few search functions got hiccups!
Above you have the navigation of the new site – enjoy…
Thank you for visiting my blog
Hey, I really enjoy your blog and have nominated you for a Liebster Award. Hope you’ll accept!
Hello, a great blog! Thanks for sharing your ideas and opinions.
My husband and i will be in Chamonix in July, and I would love to find a delicious, French, but not too formal restaurant to celebrate his birthday. I would really appreciate any recommendations.
There are many good restaurants in Chamonix one of my favourites is Maison Carrier, beautiful old building and decor and great food – see my review here on the blog
I also really like Munchies but it is not typically french style more fusion asian – here’s a link to their website
@thediamondsontour – I asked a foodie friend who spends a lot of time in Chamonix for more recommendations and this is her reply…”L’Atmosphere on the river is really lovely. Ate there recently!
Cap Horne….bit expensive but fab food. Lots of choice on the menu!
Le Bistrot….1star but their lunchtime plat du jour menu apparently unreal for 28euros!” Hope this helps and that you have a great time in Chamonix – hard to beat the french alps in Summer!
Hi Caro, Thank you so much for these wonderful recommendations. Looks like we might have to try a few! I have booked Mason Carrier for his birthday, but now I am very tempted by L’Atmosphere. Hmmmmnnn. So lucky to be spoilt for choice. We can’t wait to visit!
Sounds great, I think you will be very happy with Maison Carrier…but you’re right, try a few!! Have a fun time!
I think we must be talking about different recipes. This is the one I am referring to:
Roasted Diots recipe
8 Diots, nature
1 red pepper – deseeded and chopped into large pieces
1 yellow pepper – deseeded and chopped into large pieces
3 red onions – peeled and cut into wedges
4 whole peeled garlic cloves
olive oil
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
handful of fresh cherry tomatoes
250ml of vegetable or chicken stock
2 teaspoons of sugar
A good squirt of balsamic glaze
handful of basil
Ah yes we are! I have Diots Vin Blanc – link to recipe here https://tasteofsavoie.com/2013/02/12/diots-in-white-wine-diots-au-vin-blanc/
and the roasted Diot recipe on the blog. There is no wine in the roasted Diot recipe – Link to recipe https://tasteofsavoie.com/2013/04/19/diots-roasted-one-pot-dish/
Sorry for any confusion
Caro
Thanks, Caro. I like the look of the roasted diots recipe and will try it. John
