Baumanière 1850 Courchevel

Baumanière 1850 sits on Rue de Bellecôte, a ten-minute walk from La Croisette. The kitchen holds a Michelin star, delivering a French and Mediterranean menu that prioritizes creative presentation over alpine tradition.

The restaurant is a necessary intervention for those tired of the heavy, cheese-laden staples that define much of the surrounding resort dining. While nearby kitchens lean into the predictable comforts of mountain heritage, the cooking here remains lighter and more focused on delicate, sun-influenced flavours. The room runs smart and elegant, feeling more like a coastal retreat than a ski-season outpost. It is a calculated departure from the neighbourhood norm, making it the choice for a meal that prioritizes technique and restraint over sheer caloric density.
