Le Val Thorens Restaurant Review

I stopped in for lunch, tempted by the large outdoor seating area filled with deck chairs and a broad choice on the menu. There's a good selection on offer, and the family on the table next to me were pleased to tell me they'd been here 4 days running and that the desserts were very tasty!

I chose the grilled salmon with green beans which you could also have with either fries, pasta or gratin. Free bread came with the meal and the accompanying wine list was a well chosen selection. The portion of food was really ample, with lots of haricots and salad, and the salmon was good.

This is a great meeting place because of its location, and it was really popular with families and groups who were sat all around me. There's a nice atmosphere and although it's a busy place for lunch, there's plenty of room between tables.

Starters cost between 5-10 euros, main dishes between 1-25 euros and the 3 course menu was 32 euros including coffee. The plat du jour varies, but on the day I was there it was 13.90 euros, so quite reasonable compared other nearby restaurants.

I'd recommend you come here for either a quick bite or a lazy lunch, and then take in the sun on the terrace. After that it's up to you whether or not you can get up to hit the pistes again!
