Exquisite dining - As you want it
Food is at the heart of everything we do at Hip Hideouts. Our chalet chefs are some of the most qualified in the alps with years of experience in 5* hotels, michelin starred restaurants and super-yachts. Each chef brings their style and flair to their chalet to create unique and bespoke seasonal menus. Trained to the highest standards, our chefs have the ability to cater to different cuisines and dietary requirements. They will contact you before your arrival to discuss what you would like during your stay. We like to keep our menus fresh and interesting and on the lighter side - but you decide. Our chefs serve breakfast on seven mornings and dinner on five evenings. We also include champagne and canapés on an evening of your choosing.
Every year the standard of our food is getting better and the team for this winter is expected to be the strongest yet.
All of our chefs are experienced professionals and have worked many years in some of the top restaurants and private residences in the world. We step away from tradition and we love exploring new flavours, cultures and combinations. Our chefs are there to consult with, and our service is to provide you with dishes that will surprise and delight you.
