La Table Frédéric Molina: Michelin-Starred restaurant between Lake and Mountain in Haute-Savoie
From Ancestral Serenity…
Arriving at the Moulin is a captivating experience. The pervasive nature, the serenity of a place out of this world and out of time. Upon entering the dining room, you are enveloped by its soul and warmth, the innate sense of hospitality, and the budding chemistry between guests and a passionate team. Whether gathered around a crackling fireplace in winter or amidst a lush garden in the warmer months, the simplicity of the forge and the mill, with its stone and wood, is disarming.
… to Modern Culinary Art
This authentically rustic Moulin, connected to the majestic nature around it, is the perfect setting for a contemporary culinary composition, free from all conventions and influences. Enhanced by delicate table artistry, showcasing local ceramists, its intimate atmosphere invites you to explore new horizons. Frédéric Molina and his team embrace the cycles of nature from Lake Geneva to the peaks of the Chablais, interpreting its most unique products. This unique creative approach has been recognized with a Michelin star since 2019 and a Green Star since 2020.A Culinary
Signature
From the chlorophyll and the vibrancy of spring to the comforting flavors of autumn and winter, a thousand aromas grace the table, from cultivated to wild: aromatic herbs, abundant vegetables, forest mushrooms, colorful fruits, delicate lake fish, farm pigs and fine Bresse poultry, tender mountain lamb and flavorful game… Not to mention cheeses that find one of their supreme expressions here. This fabulous and inexhaustible pantry is explored by Frédéric daily to select the finest offerings. His creed is to focus on the uniqueness of taste and texture, the length on the palate, vital energy, and always an environmental approach.
Between Nature and Culture
The Quest for Balance
Thus begins the quest of the entire team: how to interpret and elevate this vibrant raw material, with its raw and wild character, while always respecting its essence. Frédéric champions the art of balancing subtlety and power, natural charm, and a delicacy that retains generosity without ever overplaying.
The cuisine is enchanting, deeply connected to nature and profoundly human, both rooted and contemporary. Acidity becomes lively and dancing, saltiness precisely balanced as a flavor enhancer, and noble bitterness a counterpoint that adds complexity. Through the intensity of the sensory experience, the uniqueness and honesty of the approach, what a reward it is when the emotion is palpable in the eyes of our guests!
“Every week, a new fruit arrives: what a joy it is to pair it to brighten my dishes, add depth, acidity, sweetness, freshness, and vibrancy. Fruits are the thread of the culinary journey I offer, even though they are never the dominant element. They bring life to my creations. They are, in themselves, a seasoning and a condiment.”
Frédéric Molina.
