Restaurant Reviews in Val Thorens

The perfect lunch spot for some afternoon sunshine and some good people watching...oh, and some pretty great food too!

Hotel Pashmina is one of Val Thorens' newest five star hotels, with a great piste side location and all the facilities you'd expect from a luxury establishment and something quite unique - an igloo pod bedroom on the roof!

Having spent the past six seasons working mostly during the evenings, I am more than a little bit happy this season to be giving après a try!

Part of the Hotel Val Thorens, this restaurant is a popular lunch spot, with a large sun terrace and views to die for, located at the top of the nursery slope. It seats up to about 50 people outside.

With so many well established restaurants in the Belleville valley it is always nice to find a new place tucked away. 

My highlight of this weekend’s skiing in Val Thorens was enjoying a warming vin chaud watching the mountains turn pink from the Les Aiguilles du Peclet Restaurant followed by a sunset ski back down to resort.

A place that is often overlooked in St Martin de Belleville is ‘Zabonneige’ which is right at the base of the resort as you ski down to the bottom of St Martin 1. The interior is really bright and modern and they have a lovely terrace to soak up the sun (when it decides to show its’ face again anyway!)

La Ferme de Reberty, as indicated by the name, is located in the Reberty area of Les Menuires. Accessed both on foot and on skis it is a great meet-up point for lunch, après or dinner.

La Maison is located right in the centre of Val Thorens, at the top of the travelator (for the night owls, it’s right next to Club Malaysia). A huge glam, white building with a huge terrace, it is pretty difficult to miss.

Chez Pepe Nicholas is located on the main road just past Les Menuires and before the road starts climbing up to Val Thorens and we couldn’t have picked a snowier night to try out the evening restaurant last week.

The restaurant of the Auberge de Savoie goes hand in hand with the charming boutique hotel situated in Moutiers, just down the road from Val Thorens.

Quality restaurant with perfectly cooked dishes & views of the snow park

This little restuarant sits a little way up towards the front de niege, close to the Belambra apartments and the top of the beginners slopes. They've got a small terrace outside if you fancy dining al fresco and people watching.

The Helios Hotel and Spa in Meribel is not particularly well known as a lunchtime eating spot, but it should be!

Chantacoucou is a great place to try if you are eating out in the Belleville valley this Winter. The restaurant is located in Chatelard which is a small village just outside St Martin. It is not the easiest place to find but when you do, you will be pleased you made the effort.
