Le Louisiane - Mont-Dore

Le louisians has a bunch of americana items decorating the restaurant and has clear references to the US. So you would think some of them speak english. They don’t. Not a word. My french is not great, but normally I get by with my pig-french english. Here I was really challenged. The food was okay. Average. The moulle is good. Prices are fair, service is fast.

Best restaurant of our 5 day trip by far. Our first night in we were fortunate that the lovely lady found us a table for 5. The food was gorgeous. We had LeMont Dore and others had steak and truffarde. Service was fast with a smile. We loved it so much we went back again the last night and had tartiflette and truffarde and a massive apple pie. True rustic, tasty ski food. Great for families, great space with high ceiling, lots of room. Fantastic service. Good prices and menus. Miss it already!

Spend new year 's eve in the Mont Dore. Went to the Louisiane for an evening meal. The restaurant was pack and all the traditional raclette, fondue and aligot were on the menu. Went back at the beginning of May hoping for a repeat of the excellent meal we had a few weeks back and what a disappointment ! They had just reopened (1st May) and the menu had completly changed. No more traditional meals, only your usual motorway grub : greasy food and frozen chips.

We booked at the Le Louisiana because they advertised Tartiflette. What we received was a bowl of dauphinoise potatoes and a side salad with some assorted meats, not in the least like the Alpine dish we had expected. The food was delivered so fast it can 't possibly have been cooked to order and was mediocre at best. The desert was advertised as Tiramisu but when brought to the table was a plain mousse with a bland berry topping. when we complained we were offered ice cream as an alternative. The chocolate ice cream brought to us had been stored too long in the freezer and bore no resemblance to actual ice cream. If you want a nice meal in Mont Dore go to Le Tsar just up the road.

Fresh and succulent products... Frankly, I've never eaten such good hamburgers...
