Where to Eat in Val d'Isere

Discover the top Val d'Isere places to eat

Updated

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.

Asian Fusion restaurants

Cafes and bakeries

If you’re an early riser, you’ll easily find croissants or just a quick coffee in resort. After something heartier like a full English or bacon sarnie? There’s a spot for that too. And like any French town or village, you’re never far from a bakery, head to the main street for coffee, cakes, sandwiches, and pastries.

Child friendly restaurants

France generally is very relaxed with the idea of bringing children to restaurants. It's not unusual to see children with their parents late into the evening at even the smartest of restaurants. They may not necessarily have a children’s menu, as French children often eat the same type of food as their parents. However, being a family resort, most restaurants in Val d'Isère will be happy to accommodate children, so if there isn't a specific menu to cater for them, simply ask your server whether the kitchen could prepare small portions of meals. Traditional alpine food is not necessarily fussy or strongly flavoured like some regional specialities, and children will probably love the idea of dipping into a fondue or grilling their own meat on a pierrade (hot stone).

French restaurants

Throughout the resort you'll easily find a French restaurant to suit both your taste buds and your budget, whether it's homemade Savoyarde specials in a cosy rustic bolthole, or a light airy modern gourmet experience with a wine list and dessert menu to die for. 

Mediterranean restaurants

In resort you don’t have to look far to find a pizza. Many of the local French restaurants do good pizza and pasta, and there are some decent takeaways.
