Chez Mamie, Family restaurant in Villard-de-Lans, France.
Chez Mamie is a family restaurant located opposite the tourist office in central Villard-de-Lans. The kitchen prepares traditional French dishes using ingredients sourced from regional producers and local farmers.
The restaurant opened in 2019 with a vision to revive authentic family recipes from the French Alps region. These recipes had been passed down across generations, representing the cooking traditions of the mountain community.
The name is a nod to grandmother, reflecting the homey feeling guests encounter when entering the space. Visitors experience warmth through simple wooden furniture and soft lighting that evokes a family dining room rather than a formal restaurant.
The restaurant is open daily from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 19:00 to 21:30, and features accessibility for people with reduced mobility. Its central location opposite the tourist office makes it straightforward to locate.
Each morning, the daily special appears on a blackboard displaying photographs of fresh preparations from the kitchen. This gives visitors an interesting glimpse into the craft of making each dish.
