6. Le Petit Danois Bar and Restaurant

Location
Val d’Isere

This bar and restaurant is best known for its lively bar, Red Erik beer, and après-ski scene. However, if that is all you know of the place you are possibly missing out as there is also a restaurant on the premises.

Serving an international cuisine at good prices for Val, the restaurant is open from 09:00 offering a breakfast and snack menu (till 18:00), and then from 18:30 until 22:00, a menu of all of your home favourites is available including lasagne, Red Erik Pie and Bangers & Mash.

They have a seated dining area away from the main bar, allowing for cosy surroundings. The great thing about the menu is that if you are looking for something less traditional, it breaks away from the typical Savoyarde style of many of the local restaurants.

Open from 09:00 to 02:00.

About choosing a restaurant in Val d'Isere

There are a wide range of restaurants in Val d'Isere to suit all tastes and budgets. Read our guide on all the best places to eat and where to find your favourite style of cuisine.

Worth noting is that at lunchtime most restaurants will offer a well-priced 'Plat du Jour' (dish of the day), normally consisting of locally-sourced meat, potatoes and a salad or seasonal vegetables. 

In France it’s very normal to bring children to restaurants, even later in the evening at smart venues. French children often eat the same food as adults, so a dedicated children’s menu isn’t always necessary. In family resorts like Val d’Isère most restaurants are happy to accommodate children, and if there isn’t a specific menu, just ask for smaller portions. Traditional alpine dishes are mild and fun, with children often enjoying dipping bread into fondue or grilling meat on a pierrade.
