Chanced upon this lovely little restaurant while treating ourselves to a rest day lunch, and what a pleasant surprise. Run by a Franco-Australian couple, the service was impeccable and the food top class. Reasonably priced and unpretentious and well worth treating yourself to a visit. Beautifully balanced food and wine from start to finish are not to be missed. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

The food was delicious, the service was polished and attentive and the atmosphere was sophisticated but not pretentious. The dishes were creative but it all worked. I had the pike dumplings (perfect balance of flavours), scallops with black pudding (liked it was using local ingredients and it was tasty) and the different forms of kiwi dessert (light, refreshing way to end the meal).

We loved it. Great food, not too pretentious and a decent price considering the food that was served. Highly recommend especially if you are looking for something a little different to the traditional regional food that is served in most nearby restaurants.

Le Pêché Gourmand in Briançon definitely earns a solid five stars from me! During my recent visit, I hadn't mentioned my vegetarian preferences in advance, yet they crafted a fantastic dish just for me. Their flexibility and effort to accommodate dietary needs were truly impressive. It's worth considering informing them ahead of time if you have specific dietary requirements. Nevertheless, I appreciated their ability to adapt without notice. It would be wonderful to see a permanent vegetarian main option added to their menu. Nonetheless, their outstanding food and service make this restaurant a must-visit in Briançon!

Great fine dining at reasonable price. The 3-course menu was perfect. Highly recommend the scallop for starter, and the pear and chocolate tart desserts were excellent. The Cigar dessert was very smoky, so wouldn’t recommend to all. Service was friendly by the lovely husband and wife owners. Ambience was ok, although very quiet for a Friday night. Note if vegetarian, mention this when booking in advance
