La Savoie was, without exaggeration, the most disappointing dining experience I have ever had. Located in the Tremblant village, La Savoie is usually fully booked on the weekend in peak seasons, so I waited a year for my next ski trip with my ski club to make a reservation for this restaurant. I am a cheese-a-holic and really wanted to try this fondue/raclette restaurant. The overall Google rating was positive. I looked up the menu online but was slightly confused. As clarified by our waiter, for a party of 2, you only have 6 options and each one costs around $75 per person. Based on our server's recommendation, we ordered the raclette. It was a big mistake. For $75 per person, all you receive with the raclette option is "unlimited" cheap quality sliced baguette, boiled flavourless potatoes, an ordinary and extremely plain green leaf salad with too much dressing, and a wheel of raclette cheese that was so salty and rich that I could barely eat more than a few bites (and whatever raclette is not eaten gets used again by the restaurant for another dining party). You also get a small plate of a few blanched vegetables and a few pieces of deli meats that were nothing special (and were not "unlimited"). I have eaten raclette cheese before which I found delicious but the one served at this restaurant caused my stomach to hurt tremendously after eating a few bites. Despite the pleasant service staff and cozy restaurant interior, I was so turned off by the food that I had a truly miserable experience. Worse, I felt robbed by this restaurant. I cannot believe they charge $75 per person for what is essentially $10-20 worth of food. I have been to extremely expensive restaurants and paid exorbitant rates, but at least I felt I got a tasty and beautifully plated meal with elegant service/atmosphere. At La Savoie, I felt as if I was eating just some cheap appetizers put together with little thought. If you are a party of 12 or more, at least you can get a 3 course dinner for $75 per person which would include a raclette appetizer, fondue or pierrade dinner, and chocolate fondue and coffee/tea for dessert - that sounds like a more reasonable deal. But how can this restaurant justify charging the same price per person if you come with just one other person and you only can get 1 item? La Savoie - you really need to rethink your menu and start offering the 3 course meal option to any size party. Or be fair and reduce your rates for the 6 options offered to smaller party sizes. Even though I didn't enjoy the food, at least I wouldn't feel so upset if the rates were reasonable.
