La Folie Douce - La Fruitière Restaurant, Val d'Isere - Bellevarde

1. La Fruitière Restaurant

Location
Val d’Isere

Located at the top of the Daille bubble, within the celebrated La Folie Douce après-ski and gourmet hotspot, La Fruitière serves delicious modern dishes based on traditional flavours.

In the old days, “Fruitière” described a dairy co-operative, mainly producing cheese. This contemporary restaurant has been largely inspired by this traditional mountain way of life both in its menu and décor.

Ice-cool design and a fireside warm welcome go hand in hand here. Their menu features local and regional produce ingeniously brought to the table by head Chef Franck Mischler and his team. Some of the highlights on offer include homemade duck foie gras, special Monsieur Yves Papin's oysters, classic 100% beef steak tartar, roasted leg of lamb or the traditional Fruitière tiramisu. They also serve daily 'plat du jour' and roast specials, as well as a selection of vegetarian dishes. The restaurant is open daily from midday to 15:30.

This is not the only restaurant available at La Folie Douce. Just next door, La Petite Cuisine serves local favourites in a canteen-style space. At The Butcher, on the sun terrace, you can enjoy a quick but tasty lunch; choose from burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, paninis, crepes, waffles and a lot more from 12:00 (take away available).

Alongside this generous and gourmet kitchen, they have an impressive cigar, cheese and wine cave, called "Les Trois Caves", where the best cheeses from the Savoie area rub shoulders with classic vintages and new wines selected by their head sommelier. Open from midday to 15:00, seven days a week.

After lunch, enjoy La Folie Douce's famous parties. Every day from 13:00, the best performers, dancers, musicians and DJs gather on the terrace of this clubbing hotspot for a cabaret show and, from 15:00, La Folie Douce turns into a club for the ultimate après-ski experience.

A well-rated Italian restaurant serving popular pasta dishes and desserts.

After a hard day on the mountain, what's more warming and welcoming than simple, good, home-made Italian cooking?

At Jam bar, you'll find delicious traditional Italian pasta dishes, including ravioli, carbonara, and tomato-basil, or opt for their generously-topped bruschetta or paninis. If you fancy a lighter bite, they offer Italian anti-pasti of cold meat and cheeses.

Le Trifollet Restaurant, Val d'Isere - Bellevarde restaurant terrasse

3. Le Trifollet Restaurant

Location
Val d’Isere

Located on the Verte piste, on the way down to the La Daille area of Val d'Isère, this restaurant is accessible for everyone with an Espace Killy pass, including those who are staying in Tignes, and for everyone with a Val d'Isère pass. An extremely popular mountain restaurant that tends to be busy during the lunchtime period. With a large selection of dishes on the menu including pizza, grills, salad and traditional French dishes. 

The cosy interior and short ski back down to La Daille, makes it the perfect place to stop for a long late lunch on a bad weather day. Alternatively, when the sun is shining you can sit on the large terrace, soak up the sun and enjoy a delicious meal.

Booking is recommended as this restaurant is extremely popular, especially during peak season.

4. The Marmot Arms Bar

Location
Tignes

The Marmot Arms Bar has spent over a decade establishing itself as the place to be for holiday-makers and seasonnaires in Tignes. Opened in December twenty eleven by Alex and Will, it proudly claims the title of the world’s first and only marmot-themed pub, and it wears that badge with confidence and character.

Perfectly located at the bottom of the Palafour chairlift, The Marmot Arms is impossible to miss after a day on the slopes. Après-ski is very much its speciality, with live music or DJs throughout the week and high-energy DJ nights that keep the party going well into the evening. When the weather closes in, the cosy, warm, wood-clad alpine interior makes it an ideal place to while away the hours.

Behind the bar, you’ll find a solid selection of draught beers including lagers, ales, IPAs and cider, alongside a wide range of wines and spirits. The all-day kitchen is a real highlight, serving what many consider the best homemade gourmet burgers in Tignes.

With Sky Sports on multiple big screens, friendly staff known as the Marmoteers, and a buzzing atmosphere, The Marmot Arms quickly feels like your favourite local in the mountains.

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. 

Most, if not all of the restaurants in resort are child friendly, evening meals are normally served from 19:00, and the restaurants are usually quieter at this time than later on.
