La Table de Bârma

At the heart of Hôtel Bârma in La Tania, La Table de Bârma is one of those places where one settles in rather than simply sits down. Service runs from the first coffee of the morning to the closing hours of the evening — a rare freedom in the mountains: lunch at two, straight off the slopes; an afternoon pause; dinner without watching the clock.

Our kitchen is an ode to Savoie. It draws on the produce of this valley and brings forward the craft of our suppliers: alpine farmers, cheese affineurs, market gardeners. Alpine brasserie in spirit, our chef works each ingredient with care to reveal all its flavour. The menu follows the seasons and changes week by week.

The cellar

Two worlds answer one another here. First the vineyards of Savoie and the valley, born of steep hillsides and of growers whose vintages we follow closely. Then the great crus of France, selected for the tables that wish to mark the occasion. Between the two, our sommelier charts the course, by the glass as by the bottle.

The bar extends the experience onto a panoramic terrace set upon the slopes, facing the Moretta piste. The midday sun is bright here, the après-ski hour softer, and one watches the day tip over the peaks. It is the meeting point of the house: one stops between two runs and stays longer than intended, over our signature cocktails — creations that carry the experience into a moment suspended.
