La Brasserie Benjamin at Four Seasons Resort Megève: A “Remarkable Table” According to Gault&Millau

At the heart of Four Seasons Resort Megève, La Brasserie Benjamin has established itself as one of the Alps’ must-visit dining destinations. Recently awarded a score of 15/20, three Toques, and the coveted title of “remarkable table” by Gault&Millau, the restaurant celebrates French cuisine at its most generous and refined—rooted in the land yet open to the world.

“The menu is ample and generous, allowing its international clientele to slalom between great French classics and subtle nods to mountain cuisine,” notes the guide. It’s a fitting tribute for a restaurant conceived as a homage to Benjamin de Rothschild, where culinary art meets the timeless elegance of French art de vivre.

At the helm, Chef Armando Acquaviva—trained by Anne-Sophie Pic and formerly of the legendary Lasserre—crafts dishes that radiate authenticity and emotion. From a delicate risotto with morels and veal sweetbreads roasted in vin jaune, to a perfectly golden sole meunière kissed with capers and lemon, each plate tells a story of craftsmanship and heart.

Pastry Chef Jonathan Chapuy adds a touch of poetry to the mountains with his signature creations: profiteroles filled with meadowsweet ice cream and a glossy chocolate sauce, or the iconic Rothschild soufflé reimagined this winter as a delicate Poire Belle-Hélène. Bread lovers will fall for Chef Baker Hugo Cuinet’s daily creations: crusty, aromatic, and ever-changing with the seasons.

To complete the experience, Sommelier and Restaurant Director Samy Sbity curates wine pairings from one of the region’s most breathtaking cellars, home to more than 14,000 bottles, including a legendary Château Lafite Rothschild 1869. Each detail and each sip elevates the experience to something truly unforgettable.

It’s a well-deserved recognition for a restaurant that captures the spirit of Megève itself: generous, elegant, and effortlessly sophisticated.
