Visit website La Folie Douce - La Cucucina Restaurant, Val d'Isere

1. La Cucùcina Restaurant

Italian cuisine at the famous La Folie Douce mountain après-ski hotspot

Location
Val d’Isere

Located at the top of the Daille bubble, within the celebrated La Folie Douce hotspot, enjoy gourmet Italian cuisine prepared by a renowned chef and his Italian team.

The restaurant name is two Italian words combined, La Cucina (food in Italian) and Cucù (crazy in Italian). Representing both craziness and Italian cuisine, it's the perfect name for La Folie Douce!

The menu includes traditional dishes with a modern twist, such as:

  • Carpaccio di Sicilia: a gamberoni (shrimp) carpaccio with coral juice and black garlic
  • Pollo alla diavola: a superb spatchcock chicken dish, served with creamy polenta mosto cotto (cooked grape must) and grapes
  • Profiterole di Cucùcina: vanilla cream, a salted caramel centre and hot chocolate coulis.

The restaurant decor is inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists and pays particular hommage to Leonardo DeVinci. It's the perfect setting to enjoy your delicious Italian meal.

The restaurant is open for lunch every day from 12:30 to 16:30.

Well-priced eat-in or take-away, with a menu full of all the usual classics, plus a few unexpected choices on there. They have an extensive beer menu with some international labels, plus a half decent wine choice too. Desserts aren't fancy, but who can go wrong with Ben & Jerry's.

3. La Casa Scara Restaurant

Popular gourmet Italian cuisine in the heart of the old town serving pasta, pizza, and much more

Location
Val d’Isere

A charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Val d’Isère’s old village, opposite the church. It serves authentic Italian cuisine with fresh pastas, risottos, meat dishes and delicious desserts in a warm, relaxed Alpine setting. The menu changes seasonally and pairs well with a good Italian wine. Guests love the welcoming service, hearty portions and cosy atmosphere, though reservations are recommended in peak season.

Portions are as hearty as you would expect from such a food-loving nation and dishes such as ossobucco, risotto, polenta and tiramisu are a welcome change from the usual Savoyard fare.

Reservations are advised during peak season. Open from 19:00 to 22:00 in winter and summer.

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.

Asian Fusion restaurants

If you've had enough melted cheese and fancy something a bit different, there are a couple of restaurants offering either eat-in or take away services with small and simple modern oriental décor and friendly staff.
