We dined at L'Estanco on several occasions during our last holiday in Samoens so booked ahead for two evenings for our trip this year. Once again the food, service and ambience was wonderful. We were a party of 5. we ordered different meals and every...single course was cooked to perfection.More

Excellent meal in relaxed atmosphere. A big step up from other restaurants in terms of quality and food presentation. All meals were exceptional and I highly recommend the chicken and pesto dish. Not my first visit, and will continue to come back when I’m in...the area. It would be nice if a booking could be made by email or their website. Presently you have to phone.More

Just spent the weekend here with my mother. We have eaten out 4 times . There is no doubt that l’Estanco is several cuts above any other option in every aspect.

A bit hidden from the main road but worth it. Great service, food is awesome and setting is great. Look for it, find it and check it out. Recommended!

We had the most delicious starter of gorgonzola cheesecake with beetroot coulis (without chorizo chips) followed by squash and leek gratin served with sautéed potatoes and vegetables. Absolutely amazing food and great service, we highly recommend.

A very pleasant restaurant with very good service and good food. It was very relaxed with no feeling of being rushed at all. Would recommend booking as full when we visited so glad we had phoned ahead.

So glad we found this restaurant, as it is slightly tucked away! We managed to book in on the night, and despite there being only two people serving, they were attentive and friendly. The food was so good - I had the duck which was...amazing and my partner had the mushroom tartiflette which he really enjoyed. We really appreciated the contemporary decor and chilled atmosphere. Would recommend!More

Stumbled across this gem of a restaurant tucked away in the centre of Samoëns. The service is absolutely first class and a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing, highly recommend the duck tournadas. Everyone in our party of 6 thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We...have booked to go back again this evening. Bravo l'Estanco.More

Very nice, centrally located restaurant in Samoëns with a small, yet really great menu. We enjoyed the Christmas menu and wine.
