La Grande Ourse
Located in a famous white chalet erected in 1936, La Grande Ourse, the ‘Great Bear’ in English, roars loudly enough to be heard over the other restaurants which dot the popular mountainside. Inside is just as unique, with a warm interior and sculptures by Fautrier to greet you after a day on the piste. This is not your rough-and-ready refuge however, La Grande Ourse boasts a well-stocked wine cellar for every palate and budget, whether you’re skiing in the winter break from University or taking a well-needed holiday from your high-flying career.

La Peau de Vache
Unforgettable views are paired with unforgettable burgers here at La Peau de Vache, literally ‘cowskin’. All the favorites are on the menu, with standard skiing fare of potatoes and cheese in various guises. The real draw here are the burgers, of which they provide almost every type under the sun, from duck to vegetarian. The prices are more than reasonable when compared to elsewhere in the Val d’Isere bubble. This makes La Peau de Vache the perfect place to go with a group of friends when you need to watch the cents but still wish to enjoy good food with an excellent view.

L’Ouillette
This tiny terrace is without a website of its own, but don’t let that put you off. Found on the Solaise side of the resort, at the bottom of the Madeleine piste, this outdoor restaurant and bar is the perfect place to relax when it’s a little warmer and sunnier on the mountain and you don’t feel the need to hide away next to the fire. Due to its immense popularity and aforementioned stunning views, it’s worth arriving well before the lunch hour rush in order to secure a table. L’Ouillette serves standard skiing fare, as well as an enormous variety of cheese.
