Where to go for the best cheese feast in resort
You'll find you're unable to resist the urge to eat half a kilo of molten local cheese.
Cheese fondue is an Alpine classic, widely available in Les Deux Alpes. It involves dipping bread into melted cheese and wine, with variations in ingredients and accompaniments. Though often linked to Switzerland, fondue has broader Alpine roots. Its origins are debated, but today it remains a hearty, iconic mountain meal enjoyed after skiing.
Enjoy!
Known for its simple, but great, traditional French cuisine and reasonable prices, Le Paellou restaurant is also organiser of the unofficial "World Championship for raclette eaters".
Eat as much fondue or raclette as you can without succumbing to a cheese induced coma - now there's a challenge. Particularly popular with both families (children's menu available) and groups, booking in advance is strongly advised.
Traditional regional cuisine made with local produce all year.
Lunch and dinner, indoor or on the terrace, they serve specialities such as salads, frogs' legs, snails, rib steak, Savoyard fondue, Bourguignonne fondue (meat fondue), pierrade using Charolais beef, raclette and baked Saint Felicien cheese with genepi.
They also have a shop selling regional delicatessen, which you can try at their restaurant.
A large selection of cheese, cold meats, sausages, wine and specialities such as the summer Beaufort cheese fondue, raclette or reblochonnade. There are nine different fondues available, including a five-cheese version and the very unusual Super-Gauloise champagne fondue. They also offer set menus.
Located in the centre of Les Deux Alpes, this small and cosy restaurant serves excellent Savoyard dishes, pizzas and much more.
Choose from the traditional Savoyard food and relax in the friendly atmosphere. With a children's menu, this restaurant is perfect for families or for a cosy romantic meal.
Reservations are required for group bookings as the restaurant is on the small side. Open Monday to Saturday from 12:00 to 14:30 and from 19:00 to 22:00. On Sundays, open from 12:00 to 14:30.
Serving crêpes, salads and enormous ice creams, this restaurant a good spot to bring the whole family.
A warm and welcoming setting decorated with vintage bric-a-brac, jazz and classical music, a roaring fire, a nice selection of beers and traditional Breton crêpes await you at this restaurant. Towards the Venosc end of town, there is plenty more on offer than crepes, including a very good fondue. They serve up a great range of Montagnard specialties in a setting that fuses rustic appeal with classic French style.
With seats around an open fireplace, in cosy alcoves, or on the terrace, this is a great location to celebrate a special occasion as a couple or as a group, and a wonderful place to share a fondue with good friends.
Knowledge and expertise over three generations of knowledgeable cheesemongers has led to the creation of this unique restaurant, offering high quality local cheese-based dishes in their former dairy. A true traditional mountain experience not to be missed.
The family dairy has evolved over generations into a restaurant, where guests now dine in the ageing cellar where the cows were once housed, and where the cheese is still matured. Try their carefully aged cheeses in the form of fondues or raclettes.
Dining is taverna-style, with long tables and convivial atmosphere. It's great for larger groups.
They offer a simple set menu to showcase their excellent cheeses. The menu includes a starter or side salad, choice of main from the two cheese options, and choice of dessert made with their fresh dairy produce.
Alternatively, you can choose their cheese-tasting menu, which includes salad, a selection of their cheeses, charcuterie, soup and dessert.
There is no set children's menu, but smaller children's portions are available at a cheaper price.
If you've been inspired whilst eating out in resort and fancy giving it a go yourselves, hosting your own fondue night can be fun. Everything you need is readily available in town and if your accommodation doesn't have a fondue set tucked away somewhere, most supermarkets and épiceries - shops selling local farm produce - will loan you a set if you buy the cheese from them.
The supermarkets are cheaper but the specialist épiceries and cheese shops will offer a better choice of good-quality, local cheese. You can find plenty of recipes online but the method is fairly simple and yummy - so get stuck in.
