BLANC AURELIEN

Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc was honestly on a completely different level compared to any other Michelin restaurant I’ve been to. Everything felt insanely refined — from the presentation to the flavors, it was just perfect in every detail. Service was absolutely flawless but still very natural and calm. Overall it didn’t even feel like a normal dinner, more like a full experience you just don’t forget.

Probably one of the best dining experiences of my entire life. The food, service, culinary knowledge, and atmosphere were next level excellence. This was a bucket list item for my partner and certainly did not disappoint. I would go back here anytime I am in Courchevel. The service also extended to picking us up and dropping us off at our accommodation in a luxury car (Bentley), taking our coats, and they even gave us a gift and an extra course to celebrate our recent marriage. Leslie (I am not sure of spelling) was our main waitress and she (and her team) were warm, friendly, funny and made the experience to memorable!!

It simply wasn’t tasty. We couldn’t wait for the dinner to be over. The timing was off – we had to wait too long for the first course and throughout the meal. In the end, we had to call an ambulance at night due to my wife’s severe allergic reaction. We suspect that they messed something up in the sauces, even though we clearly mentioned her seafood allergy. As a result, we spent the night with doctors and syringes. On top of that, the price in no way reflects the experience we had.

The food just wasn’t all that good. The service felt self important and fussy. Bites were too small to really be enjoyed. A lot of the food was interesting in its flavor but there was nothing that made me say wow! Yum! I want more! Some of the food was not that good there was a duck breast and it was overly salty. The service execution was flawless, but perhaps I am just not a fan of fine dining. The dining room was stunningly beautiful

This is a review of the restaurant not the hotel. Out of the 3 Michelin starred restaurants I went to in Courchevel this was definitely completely OTT. Foodie experience combined with 2001 a space odyssey vibe. Very strange aesthetic, amazing food of course-wonderful theatre, outrageously expensive. So much fun.

We cancelled our reservation two hours before our dinner, due to my wife's sudden illness, who is pregnant. Despite the unexpected situation, the restaurant did not care and charged us the full bill of 600 euros.

Le 1947 Courchevel is a truly amazing and offers a very unique experience compared to most 3 Michelin star restaurants. - Food: We had the tasting menu which was very sophisticated but also tasty. One can tell how much work has gone into creating these amazing dishes, and there is a strong focus on delivering a memorable experience instead of cutting corners with ingredients. - Service: This is where Le 1947 stands out vs. its 3 star peers. Luc, the restaurant manager, goes the extra mile to make sure every guest has a personalized experience, from call pre arrival to discuss preference, in person greetings at the bar while we were having an aperitif, to kitchen tour and accompanying us to lobby after diner. The executive chef also personally serves each table throughout the meal. The restaurant is only open for diner with 5 tables, I highly recommend making a reservation well in advance.

Fabulous experience, the interior design is very unique and interesting. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very expensive but the food was superb and as expected the service was top class. We also had a drink in the bar a week later again expensive but a real treat.
