La Petite Chartreuse

La Petite Chartreuse is a convivial neighbourhood restaurant that celebrates regional roots and the nearby mountains through generous cooking made from quality French produce. The team offers a wine list that mixes local bottles with selections from other regions. The house is recognised by the Michelin Guide (Selected) and occupies an intimate, regionally focused setting. The dining room is welcoming and community‑oriented; tables are managed to a maximum of ten people per booking and the venue is close to Grenoble and the CHU Grenoble Alpes. The kitchen presents a modern approach to French cooking that focuses on generous, well‑worked products sourced from France. The carte evolves with the seasons and according to arrivals; simple products are prepared on site, the menu emphasises fresh ingredients, and guests are asked to notify the team of any allergies before visiting. Joan Bois is chef; he was born in Pontcharra and trained at the Grenoble hospitality school and is described as passionate about cooking and travel. Aurélie Josserand runs the dining room as maître d'hôtel and brings hospitality and wine knowledge to service. Specialties include shredded beef‑cheek with Cajun‑spiced espuma; raw scallop (St‑Jacques) carpaccio with hazelnut oil; pan‑seared guinea fowl breast with pressed potatoes; oven‑roasted cod with crozets risotto and langoustine bisque; Chartreuse parfait with chocolate and tonka ganache; and hazelnut sponge with vanilla‑poached pears and praline mousse.
