The story
Perched on the route du Chef-Lieu in the small village of Groisy, Auberge de Groisy is a restaurant born from decades of experience. After 26 years working in various establishments, the owners decided to settle here, taking over a small restaurant with an unimpeded view of the Parmelan mountain. They are not alone in this venture: their two sons are part of the team, blending youth with experience.
The kitchen focuses on authentic, quality cuisine built from fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. The approach is straightforward—no fuss, just produce treated with respect. The result is a gastronomic universe that reflects the terroir of Haute-Savoie, presented in a warm and welcoming setting. The restaurant’s commitment to this honest, locally-driven cooking has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a fitting recognition for a place that lets the ingredients speak for themselves.
The gallery on their website hints at the range of dishes they prepare, categorised simply as sea, land, starters, and desserts. You might find dishes featuring trout, Saint-Jacques scallops, or rouget from the sea, while the land offerings include beef, veal, poultry, and game. Starters range from asparagus to foie gras, and desserts showcase classics like pavlova, pear, apple, and chocolate. Each plate appears to be a clean, composed expression of its main ingredient.
Dining at Auberge de Groisy is a relaxed affair. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner service, with outdoor seating for those fine afternoons when the mountain view is at its best. Reservations are taken by phone only, a small, personal touch that suits the character of the place. Whether you are passing through the Alps or seeking a destination meal in the countryside, this family-run auberge delivers a genuine taste of the region.
