Fodor's Expert Review Il Vino
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
It might seem audacious to present hungry diners with nothing more than a wine list, but the gamble is paying off at this wine-centric restaurant with a branch in Courchevel, in the French Alps. The hip decor—plum-color banquettes, body-hugging white chairs, a few high tables—attracts a mostly young clientele that's happy to play the game by ordering one of the blind, multicourse tasting menus. The €95 menu, with four dishes and four wines, is a good compromise that might bring you a white Mâcon with saffron risotto, a full-bodied red from Puglia with Provençal-style lamb, sherrylike vin jauned'Arbois with aged Comté cheese, and sweet Jurançon with berry crumble. You can also order individual wine-food combinations à la carte or pick a bottle straight from the cellar and ask for a meal to match.
