THE ALPS - Restaurant La Clarine, Samoëns

As usual, we were on the look out for a typical Savoyard restaurant serving good local specialities for as little money as possible, and I felt sure that Samoëns wouldn’t disappoint! We found a couple of places that seemed to fit the bill, but in the end we settled on the Restaurant ‘La Clarine’.



At first I was a bit dubious because it looked like it was attached to a rowdy après-ski bar, but it turned out to be a real gem; wooden furniture with typically cosy red and green decorations. We chose a creamy of cows milk cheese which is bakes with charcuterie and warm potatos, and a gratin served with cured meats and a green salad.



As usual we decided to share which is lucky because I knew we’d have to count the salad as one our our ‘5-a-day’ fruit and vegetables. Counting the cornichons, that makes a sum total of 2 today then. Oh dear...
