Le Diamant Noir Restaurant, Val Thorens interior

1. Le Diamant Noir Restaurant

Location
Val Thorens

Gourmet restaurant in a fabulous location with a Michelin starred chef. 

The setting of this restaurant alone makes it worth a visit, located at the top of Val Thorens in the Hotel Kohinor, the large bay windows and panoramic terrace provide stunning views of the resort and surrounding peaks.

If the views don't take your breath away then the food most certainly will. The inventive cuisine of Michelin starred chef, Eric Samson, is focused on preparing delicious dishes, all beautifully presented, but not with everyday produce. For example, he prepares a whole range of plates entirely dedicated to black truffles and also uses a wide range of aromatic plants and mountain herbs in his refined but creative winter menus.

Open for lunch and dinner with a daily changing specials menu in addition to the à la carte options.

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.
