Café / Brasserie Restaurants in Tignes — 9 of Our Favourites

Located at the top of the La Daille bubble, it is a great choice for lunch for skiers and pedestrians alike! Their wholesome menu includes regional favourites made with local produce and lovingly prepared in the knowing ways of yesteryear. Think generous servings of salad, pizza, quiche, grilled meat, pasta and homemade desserts, as well as daily specials (including a soup and a 'plat du jour').

La Petite Cuisine's magical mix of ancient and modern is reflected in the wall décor made by celebrated artist Tarek Benaoum, which has transformed the traditional wood cabin interior into a contemporary, cosy space. The informal seating and style, the no-concession ampleness of the servings and service (often by the chefs themselves!), are as tasteful and tasty as the dishes and their ingredients.

La Petite Cuisine is open daily from 12:00 to 17:00.

This is not the only restaurant available at La Folie Douce. Just next door, La Fruitière serves contemporary cuisine made by Chef Franck Mischler. At The Butcher Shop, 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). For a mid-afternoon break, try Les Trois Caves, their very own wine bar serving delicious local cheeses and cigars.

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 hidden gem in Tignes resort, rated for its simple but delicious traditional French food and excellent service.

On the menu you'll find a range of meat and fish options with traditional French accompaniments. If you fancy trying a local speciality, opt for the range of Savoyard options with the traditional sharing fondue or raclette, or the tartiflette. Finish with a local Savoie cheeseboard, or a chocolate tart. Wash down your meal with a bottle from the wine list.

The restaurant blends fresh flavours and locally sourced ingredients, to create a cuisine that plays on European flavours and traditional Savoyard dishes. Serving lunch and dinner daily, they also propose brunch at the weekend which we hear is 'no ordinary English breakfast' and well worth a try.

More Parisian bistro than Alpine refuge, the menu steers clear of the usual tartiflette and fondue. Dishes of lamb, trout, duck, king prawns, etc are beautifully presented and served with an excellent choice of wines.

Despite its name, there is a whole lot more to this quirky little bar/restaurant than just pig products! There is a real gastronomic feast to choose from on the menu, such as grilled oysters or razor clams and camembert and red current tartlet to start, followed by Aberdeen Angus flank steak or duck burger, both served with fois gras, grilled halibut and even a vegetarian haggis. Of course, if you do want to go the whole "hog" (get it??) you can start with a serving of pigs tails slow roasted in cider and finish up with filet, cheek and belly of pork with a black pudding cream.

There are various promos on throughout the week, such as "Moules Monday" - where you can have a starter and a choice of mussels for main with a glass of wine for just a bargain price. Other meal deals include oysters and wine, or charcuterie and wine combos, and at the weekend, bag yourself a juicy duck burger and a pint or how about a pulled pork burger at reduced prices in the bar during Happy Hour?
