Restaurant in Foncine-le-Haut, Auberge de la Rivière
A welcoming auberge and restaurant
Unable to resist the stunning style of this typical Jura house, Julien and Jessica have retained its warm, welcoming feel. Wooden tables and beams give this restaurant in Foncine-le-Haut a particularly cosy quality which works perfectly with its original colourful paintings. Old skis covered with eye-catching beer labels decorate the walls by the bar: a delightful setting for a relaxed culinary experience in the Haut-Jura.
An inspired and generous couple
Eating is a necessity, but knowing how to eat is an art!
Traditional cuisine with a contemporary twist
In this restaurant in Foncine-le-Haut, the menu features local ingredients from the Jura region and showcases the chef’s expertise and inspiration: having worked at various prestigious restaurants, Julien has created an impressive menu of traditional dishes with a touch of creativity, influenced by his roots in the north of France and the Savoie region, on the border between France and Italy, where he and his wife used to live.
The result? Cuisine which is authentic and generous, like the food served in mountain chalets, yet sophisticated and surprising, inspired by years spent working at some of France’s finest restaurants. Every meal is a pleasure!
Seasonal ingredients, freshly prepared dishes
Julien creates his menus using carefully chosen seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, depending on availability: cheese comes from the neighbouring dairy, charcuterie is supplied by the village butcher, fruit, vegetables and meat are all local, freshwater fish are supplied by a fish farm which is close to the auberge, while saltwater fish and seafood are bought in Boulogne-sur-Mer. It’s all about using the finest ingredients to bring out the incredible flavours of his gourmet dishes.
