Lamartine

Lamartine is a family-run, Michelin-starred restaurant on Lac du Bourget’s western shore that has belonged to the Marin family since 1964. It follows a product-first policy, sourcing fish from the Parpillon family, regional charcuterie, local vegetables, poultry and hand-grown mushrooms; it offers tasting menus in three, six and eight courses and a cellar of around 660 references focused on Savoie, Burgundy and other French regions. The dining room and large terrace provide panoramic views over Lac du Bourget and an intimate, family‑home feeling, with refined contemporary interiors and lake‑facing outdoor seating. The cuisine interprets Savoyard terroir in a contemporary, product-driven style that focuses on seasonal local ingredients, purity and elegant presentation; dishes often treat a single product in multiple variations, pairing subtle sauces with aromatic herbs and flowers gathered from its garden and nearby mountains. Chef Valentin Marin trained in pastry and at Ferrandi, worked in Parisian and regional Michelin‑starred brigades (Les Fables de la Fontaine, Le George V, Kaïku, Anne‑Sophie Pic and Dan B) and returned to the family table in 2020 after ten years in haute cuisine; he delivers warm “family house” hospitality in the kitchen, with Charlotte in the front of house. Specialities include lavaret (lake whitefish), fried perch (perch fry), omble chevalier (char), rack of lamb and sweetbreads (ris de veau).
