The story

La Table d’André in Grimentz: Refined Gourmet Cuisine by the Slopes

The chefs and their philosophy

La Table d’André in Grimentz serves a distinctive gourmet cuisine shaped by Portuguese-born André and Sónia Costa. They run an open kitchen inside a modern chalet where guests watch every preparation step. A recent Gault&Millau score of fourteen confirms how effectively their seasonal sourcing meets professional scrutiny. The couple describes their work as an art built on passion and respect for life’s core flavors.

Signature preparations

Guests frequently return for the carbonara royale, which layers morels and slow-cooked onions over a crisp parmesan base. The kitchen also transforms octopus through smoking and tableside flame-torching before pairing it with black garlic and creamy potatoes. Roasted pigeon arrives alongside juniper berries and a poppy-seed crust that draws rich jus from the meat. Sweet finishes often feature a beer-poached pear resting beside a toasted almond shortbread and dark ale compote.

The wooden dining room

Dining takes place in a compact space lined with warm timber panels and facing a glass-walled kitchen. Large partitions separate the cooking area from quiet conversation zones. The venue sits directly at the foot of local ski runs, making it a practical stop after afternoon sports. The dining room maintains this disciplined approach to gourmet cuisine throughout the evening service.
