Restaurant in La Biolle, France
Michelin-recognised farm-to-table at mid-range prices.
La Table des Bauges holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and operates at the €€ price tier — an unusual combination that makes it the strongest value-for-recognition option in the Savoie foothills. The farm-to-table kitchen draws on the Massif des Bauges region, and the quiet, unhurried atmosphere suits slow, conversation-led meals. Book a few days ahead; getting a table here is easy.
La Table des Bauges is a farm-to-table restaurant in La Biolle, a small commune in the Savoie foothills between Chambéry and Annecy, and it holds a Michelin Plate for both 2024 and 2025. At the €€ price tier, it sits well below what the Michelin recognition typically demands, which makes it an easy recommendation for food-focused travellers moving through the French Alps who want cooking grounded in the local terroir without committing to a grand occasion budget. If you're touring the Savoie looking for a meal that connects to the region rather than performing for a city audience, this is the right stop.
La Table des Bauges takes its name from the Massif des Bauges, the natural park that rises directly east of La Biolle. Farm-to-table in this context isn't a positioning statement — it reflects the practical reality of a rural Savoie setting where proximity to small producers, mountain pastures, and seasonal growing cycles shapes what ends up on the plate. The Massif des Bauges is one of the less-travelled corners of the French Alps, which means the kitchen works with ingredients that rarely reach restaurant tables in Lyon, Geneva, or Paris. For a food and wine explorer, that regional specificity is the main reason to make the detour.
The atmosphere here runs quiet and grounded rather than animated or theatrical. La Biolle is a village, not a resort town, and La Table des Bauges reads accordingly: the energy is unhurried, the room is calm enough for a proper conversation, and there is no ambient noise pressure that pushes you toward a faster pace. If you're coming from a week in Annecy or Chambéry where dining rooms carry more buzz, the contrast is immediate. For couples or small groups who want to eat slowly and talk, that is a feature. For those expecting the charged atmosphere of an Alpine resort restaurant, adjust expectations.
Google reviewers rate it 4.8 from 405 reviews, which is a credible signal at that volume. The consistency across a large number of reviews, combined with two consecutive Michelin Plate awards, suggests the kitchen is reliable rather than occasionally brilliant. That distinction matters: a reliable €€ restaurant in a rural Savoie village is more useful to most travellers than an inconsistent one with occasional highs.
The Savoie wine region is one of France's most underexplored, producing whites from Jacquère, Altesse (Roussette), and Chardonnay, reds and rosés from Gamay, Mondeuse, and Pinot Noir, and sparkling Crémant de Savoie. For a farm-to-table kitchen in the Bauges, the natural pairing logic runs toward local Savoie appellations: Apremont and Abymes for lighter whites, Roussette de Savoie for something with more texture, and Mondeuse if the menu leans toward richer Alpine preparations. The region's wines are built for mountain food — high-acid, mineral, and well-suited to dishes involving cheese, charcuterie, freshwater fish, and root vegetables. We don't have confirmed details on the specific wine list at La Table des Bauges, but a kitchen at this price point and Michelin recognition level in this location would be under-serving its own cooking if it didn't lean into the local appellations. For wine-focused visitors, the Savoie context alone makes the pairing conversation worth having with whoever is running the floor.

The Massif des Bauges is at its most accessible from late spring through early autumn, when the mountain passes are clear and the local produce is at peak range. Summer visits (June through August) align with the longest growing season and the widest window of daylight for driving the Savoie roads, which can be narrow and require attention. If you're visiting the broader region, La Table des Bauges fits naturally into a route between Annecy and Chambéry , both cities are within easy driving distance of La Biolle. Avoid arriving without a reservation during the summer months when tourism in the Savoie peaks; booking a few days in advance in high season is sensible, though this is not a hard-to-get table by any measure. Midweek lunches are likely the calmest service, which suits the slow dining pace the room encourages.
La Table des Bauges is the right choice if you're a food and wine traveller moving through the Savoie Alps who wants Michelin-acknowledged cooking at an accessible price, in a quiet rural setting that connects to the regional landscape. It works for couples, small groups, and solo diners who eat with attention. It is not the right choice if you need a high-energy dining room, are travelling with children who require a flexible format, or are looking for the grand-occasion experience that the Michelin Plate's neighbourhood peers , like Flocons de Sel in Megève or Mirazur in Menton , are built for. For the food explorer who treats regional specificity as a reason to book rather than a compromise, the value-to-recognition ratio here is difficult to argue with.

A quick look at how La Table des Bauges measures up.
Book at least 1-2 weeks ahead if visiting between late spring and early autumn, when tourist traffic through the Savoie corridor between Chambéry and Annecy is at its highest. A Michelin Plate recognition two years running at a €€ price point means demand consistently exceeds what a small rural restaurant can absorb. Weekend tables fill faster than weekday slots.
This is a farm-to-table restaurant in a small Savoie commune, not a destination fine-dining room — come expecting honest regional cooking at the €€ price point, not a parade of courses. The Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025 signals cooking worth stopping for, but the format suits travellers passing through the Alps more than those making a dedicated long-haul trip. Pair the meal with a Savoie white if the list allows.
Bar seating is not confirmed in the available venue data for La Table des Bauges. Given its farm-to-table format and rural Savoie setting, this is likely a table-service-only room. check the venue's official channels before arriving with that expectation.
At the €€ price range, any tasting format here represents good value relative to the Michelin Plate standard it has held across two consecutive years. For the Savoie region specifically, where Michelin recognition is sparse outside of Annecy and Chambéry, that combination of credential and price is the clearest argument for booking. If a tasting menu is not available, the à la carte will reflect the same farm-to-table sourcing from the Massif des Bauges.
La Biolle is a small commune with limited dining options beyond La Table des Bauges itself. If you want more choice at a comparable or higher tier, Annecy (roughly 20km north) and Chambéry (roughly 15km south) both carry stronger restaurant depth, including Michelin-starred options. La Table des Bauges is the most compelling case for stopping in La Biolle specifically rather than pushing on to either city.
