In La Clusaz you’ll find, refreshingly, mostly rustic family-run restaurants serving
good and reasonably priced Savoyard food.
La Clusaz has managed to avoid the plague of self-service
mountain restaurants which have sprung up in so many resorts. Here
you’ll find, for the most part, rustic family-run restaurants serving
good and reasonably priced Savoyard food.
Try The Bercail on the
Cret de Merle for seriously good tartiflette (local speciality) or La
Ferme, a little further down the piste, with its wood fire and
home-made pizzas.
Bruno and Sam’s Relais de l’Aiguille is a great
place to enjoy a sun-downer with its lovely sunny terrace and eclectic
mix of music whilst the Telemark Café is a good chill-out lunch spot
over at l’Etale. La Vielle Ferme at the Col de Merdassier has a
charming restaurant with excellent food and service and is a great
place to stop for lunch if you’re doing the 5 mountain circuit.
On
the other hand the two restaurants at La Balme, one at car park level
and the other at the mid-station are rather disappointing and lacking
in atmosphere.
