A variation from the norm, this is a small Italian restaurant with some great pasta dishes. Yes you can choose the Bolognaise or Pomodoro, but also consider the Seared Scallops and Fresh Parmesan or the Beef Fillet in Balsamic Vinegar Sauce.
A pizza restaurant with a wide variety to choose from and a great Calzone. Good for children and families. Remember to save room for the ice cream menu!
Located at the Fromagerie and farm, L’Etable d’Alain serves traditional Savoyard food and is highly recommended.
A cosy traditional Savoyard restaurant, excellent for Fondue and Tartiflette. Full of rustic charm with old wood beams and a great atmosphere. Don’t be late for your table as they have a habit of giving tables away if you are any more than 15 minutes late!
Open for lunch as well as dinner, La Corniche can be found round the corner from the church in the ‘Vieux Village’ but also very close to the foot of the nursery slopes. It serves all the Savoyard dishes you could want including Les Pierres Chaudes (hot stone you cook your own choice of meat on), Fondue and Raclette in cosy, rustic surroundings.
Gastronomic French cuisine in traditional Savoyard décor. This restaurant, located on the snow front, is very popular at lunchtime as well as for dinner. Examples of dishes on the dinner menu include Scallops with Confit Vegetables, Spiced Risotto with Herb salad, Rack of Lamb with Rosemary Butter and Cardamom Crème Brulee. There is a large outside seating area with views across the nursery slopes.
The only Michelin starred restaurant in Val d’Isère, La Table de l’Ours comes with mixed reviews – some say it’s an amazing dining experience with outstanding food and some say it’s over rated. All, however, do agree that it’s very expensive! The Rotisserie restaurant next door offers a more relaxed alternative serving a buffet of dishes including beef fillet and lobster and proved quite popular last season.
Under the hotel Kandahar on the main high street, this restaurant serves traditional Germanic style dishes and beers and also features a nice wine bar.
Traditional French cuisine and local Savoyard specialities are served in this rustic style restaurant. The interior is a little dated but quite quirky with its chequered tablecloths and the atmosphere is good. They only offer two sittings, 7.30pm and 9.30pm and the restaurant only seats 60 people, so it gets booked up very quickly. Booking in advance is a must.
Gourmet restaurant located in the Savoie hotel. Chef Alexandre Fabris revisits traditional cuisine, adding his individual flair to the great classics.
Le Lodge has something for everyone including traditional Savoyard dishes, spare ribs, roast chicken and pizza. Its relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices make it very popular with Val d’Isère regulars, as well as the French locals. The bar downstairs from the restaurant also means it’s very amenable for a pre or post dinner drink or two!
Val d’Isère’s bakery is renowned throughout France for good reason. Awarded “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” multiple times, Patrick Chevallot’s bread, savouries, pastries and chocolates are spectacular. A small cafe adjacent to the bakery is a great place to sample the delights and for a quick, cheap and hearty skier’s lunch, it is only a short walk from the bottom of the Olympique gondola.
