You can eat, you can play - and most visitors do both. There is a wide choice of places for eating out: ranging from takeaway pizza to Michelin stars and a lot in between. At the top end, but still affordable, dinner at La Savoyarde is superb. Others include Hotel Aigle de Neige (formerly Les Latitudes), which has been completely transformed and is rapidly become one of the places to eat out.
The Perdrix Blanche, right in the main street, always provides a wide selection of food, from Chinese to Savoyarde. La Table des Neiges has an excellent chef, or try for La Taverne d’Alsace for something other than Savoie fare.
Les Clocheton, in the Manchet Valley, is a good spot for lunch for skiers returning from the Santons piste area. L’Arolay, at Le Fornet, serves local specialities in a friendly atmosphere. La Becca, a hotel restaurant at Le Laisinant serves excellent food. Le Casa Scara is a stylish and cosy little Italian restaurant opposite the church: the risotto with truffles is ‘to die for’! Le Pré d’Aval, which serves local specialities in the town centre, is unpretentious and good value for money.
For good value and good food Tufs at La Daille is also open in the evenings: likewise the Brasserie du Grand Cocor (Bar des Sports). Sur la Montagne (33 4 79 40 06 12) on Val's high street is another relatively reasonable restaurant worth a visit. The Billabong Cafe appeals to the young and the hamburger-hungry.
