Great ideas for vegetarian food options around Les 2 Alpes, including one with a Michelin star!

In the past, the French Alps have not been well known for their vegetarian cuisine, although there has always been a great choice of cheese dishes. Thankfully, things are changing and there are more options appearing for those who don’t eat meat.

As a vegetarian, you still need to take care – some apparently vegetarian dishes might be served with a plate of cold meats or contain the occasional sausage, so do ask to be sure if you're in a traditional French restaurant. That said, most restaurants will have at least a couple of vegetarian options on the menu these days. Here we give a rundown of those that offer you a bit more.

Le P'tit Polyte Restaurant

Location
Les Deux Alpes

This is the renowned restaurant of the 4* Chalet Hotel Mounier, famous in the Southern Alps for its fine cuisine based on fresh local produce and the inventiveness of the chef.

Traditional regional ingredients such as wild mushrooms, Alpine cheese and cured meats are prepared with care to produce a menu that is brimming with refined and delectable flavours.

The menu changes often to make the most of seasonal delicacies and is complimented by a selection of over 800 carefully chosen wines. One of the three tasting menus is 100% plant based.

During the summer months you can enjoy your meal on the terrace by the pool.

You are welcome to call in at any time, but reservations are advised to avoid disappointment.
