Welcome to Chez Pépé Nicolas for a wonderful getaway in the heart of Belleville
At Pépé Nicolas, it’s a family affair, that of Nicolas JAY, a Belleville alpagiste (goat herder), who acquired the “La Chasse” hill in 1957 to graze his goats and cows.
His grandsons, then his great-grandchildren, Margot, Lucie, and Valentin, took over the farm and turned it into a unique place, with values of authenticity, sharing, environmental protection, and the pursuit of excellence.
Today, the essence of the Suchet family is taking the time to savor the moment in the heart of the 3 Valleys with:

All our dishes are made using fresh produce from our alpine garden, our cheese dairy, our fish farm and our local producers, all of whom are committed to quality.

And for a village atmosphere...
The Suchet family invites you to discover their second restaurant in the center of the village of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville: Le Montagnard.
This restaurant (awarded one Gault&Millau toque) is housed in the former stables of our great-grandfather, Pépé Nicolas, thus preserving a strong link with our family history. Here you can enjoy subtle cuisine that blends local traditions with culinary imagination.
