Overall, Expedition Restaurant La Plagne is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience. From the exceptional food to the top-notch service and cool atmosphere, every aspect of this restaurant is carefully crafted to provide guests with a truly special evening.
I highly recommend heading there on a Sunday and trying their brunch menu. With fun takes on McMuffins, and sharing platters. I enjoyed (more than once!) the mixed plancha brunch with a selection of smoked salmon, avocado, muffins, bacon, and the most delicious eggs I’ve had in a long time.
I also love the cocktail menu at Expedition and had to work my way through most of the options there – for quality control, of course.
