Restaurant in Servoz, France
Michelin-recognised Alpine table, easy to book.
Auberge des Gorges holds back-to-back Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a 4.4 Google rating across 567 reviews, making it the most credentialled table in Servoz at the €€€€ tier. It earns its price for visitors already in the Haute-Savoie who want a deliberate, well-executed modern cuisine meal. Weekend lunch is the format to target for repeat visits.
Auberge des Gorges holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025), which signals consistent quality worth a detour rather than a destination in its own right. At the €€€€ price point, it sits at the leading of what Servoz offers, and for a visitor who has already eaten here once, the question shifts from whether to return to when and for what occasion. The answer: morning and weekend service, where the kitchen's modern cuisine approach is most likely to reward repeat visits with a format that feels proportionate to the surroundings.
Servoz is a small commune in the Haute-Savoie, close to Chamonix and the Mont Blanc massif. The physical setting matters for your decision: this is not a city table where you drop in after theatre or between meetings. Coming to Auberge des Gorges requires deliberate planning, and that changes the calculus. If you are already in the area for hiking, skiing, or a broader Alpine itinerary, it earns serious consideration. If you are travelling specifically to eat here, the two Michelin Plates, not stars, suggest you should calibrate expectations accordingly.
The Google rating of 4.4 across 567 reviews is a more useful signal than the Michelin recognition alone. At this price tier, a 4.4 from that volume of guests indicates reliable execution rather than occasional brilliance. For a returning visitor, that consistency is precisely what you want: you are not gambling on whether the kitchen is having a good night.
The editorial angle worth applying here is the morning and weekend format. Modern cuisine restaurants at this tier in Alpine France often produce their most accessible, least performative food during brunch or weekend lunch service, when the kitchen is not locked into a full tasting progression. The pacing is different, the mood in the dining room is lighter, and the value equation typically improves. If your previous visit was a dinner service, a weekend lunch or late-morning sitting at Auberge des Gorges is a materially different experience worth trying.
At a converted auberge in a village of this size, the ambient feel is low noise, unhurried, and intimate rather than theatrical. This is not a place where the room competes with the food for attention. The energy runs quiet: conversations carry, the service pace reflects the mountain setting, and there is none of the competitive energy you find in a city dining room where tables are turned quickly. For a solo diner or a couple, that atmosphere is an asset. For a group hoping for a lively evening, it may feel too contained.
The address, 81 route du Mont, places the restaurant on a route that serves the gorges themselves, which gives context for both the name and the likely clientele: walkers and mountain visitors who know the area, alongside travellers staying nearby. The dining room does not need to be loud to justify itself; the setting does that work.
Booking difficulty here is rated Easy, which is consistent with the venue's scale and location. Servoz does not generate the reservation pressure of Chamonix's busiest tables, let alone Paris. You are unlikely to need more than a week's lead time outside of peak Alpine season, though July, August, and the main ski weeks (late December through February) will tighten availability. Confirm directly before you travel: at €€€€ pricing, an unexpected closure is a costly surprise.
No phone number or website is currently listed in the public record, so approach booking through the address directly or via your accommodation's concierge if you are staying nearby. The concierge route is genuinely useful here: local hotels in the Chamonix valley maintain relationships with area restaurants and can often confirm availability faster than an independent inquiry.
Dress expectations at this tier in rural Alpine France tend toward smart-casual. You will not be out of place in well-kept outdoor gear after a morning walk, but notably underdressed in ski clothes straight from the slope. Aim for the middle register.

Two Michelin Plates rather than stars puts Auberge des Gorges in a different tier from the Alpine region's headline act, Flocons de Sel in Megève, which carries three Michelin stars and sits at a different price-to-ambition level entirely. The comparison matters for your planning: if you are allocating one serious meal on an Alpine trip, Flocons de Sel is the higher-credentialled choice. If you are allocating two meals and want one to feel proportionate to a morning or afternoon in the mountains, Auberge des Gorges earns that second slot.
Further afield in the French tradition, Bras in Laguiole, Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, and Georges Blanc in Vonnas represent the benchmark for what a serious French auberge-format restaurant can deliver at the leading of the category. Auberge des Gorges does not compete at that level on credentials, but it also does not ask you to travel to Laguiole or Vonnas. For what it is and where it sits geographically, the value case holds for a returning visitor with the right expectations. You can also explore the broader French fine dining circuit through venues like Arpège in Paris, Mirazur in Menton, Les Prés d'Eugénie in Eugénie-les-Bains, Paul Bocuse in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, Maison Lameloise in Chagny, Troisgros in Ouches, Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse, La Table du Castellet in Le Castellet, and internationally at Frantzén in Stockholm to calibrate where Auberge des Gorges sits in the wider picture.
Quick reference: Michelin Plate 2024 and 2025. Google 4.4 / 567 reviews. Price: €€€€. Booking: Easy. Leading approach for a returning visitor: weekend lunch or morning service.
It depends on your benchmark. Two consecutive Michelin Plates confirm the kitchen delivers consistent quality, but at €€€€ pricing in a Plate-rather-than-star context, the tasting menu needs to be weighed against what that spend buys you elsewhere. If you are comparing within the Alps, Flocons de Sel in Megève carries three Michelin stars at a comparable or higher price and represents a stronger tasting menu credential. At Auberge des Gorges, the format most likely to feel proportionate to the spend is a weekend lunch, where the kitchen's modern cuisine approach works well without the full tasting progression.
This is a destination that requires deliberate travel to Servoz in the Haute-Savoie. It is not a drop-in; plan around it. The price is €€€€, which is the top tier of local dining, and the Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) signals solid execution rather than a star-level experience. A 4.4 Google rating across 567 reviews suggests reliable consistency. Arrive with realistic expectations for a serious village auberge in an Alpine setting, not a headline city restaurant. Book in advance during peak Alpine seasons (summer hiking and winter ski periods).
Yes, more so than most restaurants at this price tier. The room runs quiet and unhurried, which suits solo diners who want to eat attentively without the background noise of a busy city table. The intimate atmosphere and low ambient energy make it easier to engage with the food and the setting without feeling conspicuous. For solo dining in the Haute-Savoie at this tier, it is a more comfortable choice than a larger, more theatrical room. Confirm seat availability for one when booking, as auberge-format restaurants occasionally prioritise tables of two or more at peak times.
At €€€€ with two Michelin Plates, it is worth the price if you are already in the area and treat it as the serious meal of your Alpine stay. It is harder to justify if you are travelling specifically to eat here, since the Plate recognition does not carry the same weight as a star when evaluating a purpose-built food trip. The strongest value case is a weekend lunch: you are paying for a deliberate, well-executed modern cuisine meal in one of France's most compelling Alpine settings, with a kitchen that consistently delivers across 567 Google reviews. That is a reasonable exchange at this tier.
Given the venue's scale in a small Servoz commune and the auberge format, groups of four to six are likely manageable with advance notice. Larger groups should contact the restaurant well ahead; no direct phone number is currently listed publicly, so approach via your accommodation's concierge or inquire at the address directly. At €€€€ per head, a group dinner represents a significant spend, so confirm capacity and any minimum requirements before committing. The quiet, intimate atmosphere suits small groups better than large parties looking for a high-energy evening.
Servoz itself has limited dining options at this tier, which is part of why Auberge des Gorges holds its position. For a direct Alpine alternative at a higher credential level, Flocons de Sel in Megève is the regional benchmark with three Michelin stars. If you want to stay within the Haute-Savoie valley and want a broader view of what's available, see our full Servoz restaurants guide. For modern cuisine at the leading of the French fine dining circuit more broadly, Arpège in Paris and Maison Lameloise in Chagny represent the category at a higher credential level.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) at the €€€€ price range suggest the kitchen is delivering at a consistent level that justifies the spend for the setting. That said, this is a village auberge in Servoz rather than a multi-course theatre destination like Flocons de Sel in Megève — so the value case is strongest if you want precise, unhurried cooking without the production overhead. If you expect a full tasting-menu event experience, calibrate expectations to the scale of the venue.
Auberge des Gorges is at 81 route du Mont in Servoz, a small commune close to Chamonix in the Haute-Savoie. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, so you are unlikely to need weeks of lead time. The atmosphere runs intimate and low-key rather than formal or theatrical, which is consistent with a converted alpine auberge at this scale. First-timers coming from Chamonix should treat this as a deliberate detour, not a walk-in stop.
The venue's small scale and intimate atmosphere make it a reasonable choice for solo diners who want a quiet, unhurried meal — the low-noise environment is more conducive to solo dining than a louder brasserie. Booking is Easy, so there is no significant access barrier for a table of one. The €€€€ price point is the main consideration; solo diners absorb the full cost without splitting.
At €€€€ with two Michelin Plates in consecutive years, the price is defensible if you are already in the Chamonix or Servoz area. If you are travelling specifically for the meal, Flocons de Sel in Megève carries Michelin stars and may be a stronger destination-dining argument for the same travel investment. For a high-quality regional table without a reservation battle, Auberge des Gorges delivers.
As a small village auberge in a commune the size of Servoz, capacity is limited and the intimate format is not naturally suited to large groups. Small groups of four to six can likely be accommodated, but parties larger than that should check the venue's official channels to confirm. Booking is currently rated Easy, which suggests availability is not the immediate barrier — scale of the space is.
Servoz itself has limited dining options at this tier, so the practical alternative is Chamonix, a short drive away, which has a broader range of restaurants across multiple price points. For Michelin-credentialled modern cuisine in the broader Alpine region, Flocons de Sel in Megève holds Michelin stars and is the regional benchmark above Auberge des Gorges's Plate level. If you are flexible on location, Megève and Annecy both offer a wider field of comparable or stronger options.
