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, especially if you let them know in advance. Evening meals are normally served from 19:00, and the restaurants are quieter at this time than later on.

Val Thorens currently only has one restaurant with a Michelin star, and it's open for dinner only. Make sure you book well in advance of your planned visit to avoid disappointment. 

And if you fancy travelling further out of town, in between Les Menuires and St Martin down the valley from Val Thorens, you will find a tiny village called St Marcel where you'll find a famous three Michelin star restaurant has its home. As you would expect from a restaurant with such a rating the service is impeccable and it is certainly a dining experience. Also if you need somewhere for the helicopter to park, you’re in luck - there’s a spot just across from the restaurant.
