Auberge de Portout

About

Located in the picturesque commune of Chanaz, just a stone's‑throw from the pristine lake du Bourget, Auberge de Portout is more than a restaurant – it’s a convivial gathering place that captures the essence of the Savoie region. From sunrise, the walls echo with laughter of families, friends, and weary travelers, while the aromas of freshly sliced farm‑farm cheeses, charcuterie, and the signature local dish – the ever‑present frogs’ legs – fill the air. Menus change with the seasons, featuring a daily market starting at €19 that celebrates the bounty of the lake and surrounding valleys, and a “Braséro” on Mondays that turns the terrace into a delightful night‑time grill. Guests can also indulge in the Chef’s creativity, with dishes such as bœuf à l’italienne, grilled perch sourced directly from the lake, and a selection of hearty seasonings. The terrace offers regional wines, house‑made beers, and local beverages that pair perfectly with generous servings of frogs’ legs. Whether you’re a foodie craving authentic Savoie cuisine or an adventure seeker drawn to the surrounding lakes and hikes, Auberge de Portout promises a warm welcome and cuisine that brings the terroir to life. Beyond gastronomy, the establishment offers a well‑equipped meeting room for business seminars, with audiovisual amenities and optional catering packages, making it an ideal venue for corporate retreats or group celebrations around the lake.
