Auberge Napoléon

Grenoble


If you dream of mannerly service in an 18th-century French salon, this is your place. Mirrors, baroque trimmings and white tablecloths establish the decadent tone, which is amplified by creations like foie gras–topped oysters, squid ink ravioli and juicy Iberico pork.

With advance notice, chef Agnès Chotin is an expert at tailoring menus to vegetarian, lactose-free and gluten-free diners.
