Couloir Bar & Restaurant, Tignes Val Claret interior

2. Couloir Bar and Restaurant

Location
Tignes

Situated in the main square of Val Claret, only two minutes from the Tufs chairlift, this restaurant serves an international menu and offers live music for après-ski.

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.

The bar area is well stocked with premium beers, wines and spirits and has an excellent cocktail list. It's a great place for pre-dinner drinks or some after-dinner partying.

Open daily from 11:00 to 01:00, their lunch menu is available from 12:00 to 18:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 22:00. Happy Hour run from 15:00 to 18:00 and again from 21:00 to 23:00.

La Queue de Cochon Restaurant, Tignes - Lavachet drinks

3. La Queue de Cochon Restaurant and Bar

Location
Tignes

Well worth seeking out!

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?

Located right in the heart of Le Lavachet, just opposite the bus stop, a visit to this bar/restaurant has to be on your list whilst here in Tignes.

Open throughout the season Tuesday to Sunday 17:00 - 01:00. Closed Mondays.
