if you love meat and you've never had it before, you should check it out. That sauce is a big blockbuster and the fries are excellent. They have improved service a lot lately. It's just a little heavy for dinner, so it's better for lunch. Be mindful that there's only one choice for main course! Consider profiteroles for dessert! ))

The 20 (Le Vingt) is the restaurant at the Bossey Golf Club, a very nice spot for lunch or for dinner (on weekdays). It's only about 10 minutes drive from the house, easy parking, classy, but not posh at all, has nice gardens, good menu, quiet atmosphere and nice views. It's open every day, so it may be a good pick on sundays or mondays when other places are closed!

As close to Mont-Blanc as most people can get. Climb to 3800 meters and walk around straight on the Alps. The whole experience takes about 3hours. Chamonix is also nice for a walk, so it's possible to spend a long half a day there. Chamonix is about 50 minutes highway drive from the house.
