After walking around the town for a while and comparing menus, we settled on Pizzeria La Pignatta. The inside of the restaurant is pretty charming with a ton of wood decorations on the inside. We came during prime lunch time on a day when all skiers were basically unable to hit the slopes, so the restaurant was busy and the service was incredibly slow. That being said, the food was excellent. We ordered olive oil with our bread, and were handed a bottle of olive oil that had been infused with some peppers and herbs. It was absolutely delicious. As a New Yorker - and thereby a pizza lover - I decided on a pizza that strayed from the normal tomato base. We ordered the Montagnarde, wich had cream, cheese, reblochon, ham, fresh mushrooms, and egg. I must say this was a delight. If you have the guts to put an egg in the middle of my pizza and it tastes good, you are good in my book. The pizza definitely hit the spot. No comparison to New York style pizza, but I would definitely suggest it. We also ordered the fondue served with a charcuterie board. The fondue was amazing and incredibly tasty. I was surprised by how something so simple - melted cheese - can be so delicious. The charcuterie board cost extra, but it was worth it. I always love trying out regional charcuterie. We walked back out into the blizzard with smiles on our faces.

He had two children behind the counter with him making pizzas when we first walked in and you could tell that the experience of hand making pizzas was something very special to them. They later took the pizzas to their parents' table to enjoy the fruits of their experience. The place is small so we had to wait, but one of the waitresses was quick to offer us drink options while we waited. We were able to enjoy some wine during our 10 minute wait. The food prices are very reasonable and the quality is top notch! We had the caprese appetizer, the pizza + and the spaghetti bolognese. It was all very delicious. We are so happy we came here during our trip because it felt like a local's experience and not one of those commercial places.

It makes the interior feel even more cosy and warm. The menu is filled with the classic meat and cheese choices you would expect from that kind of place but they do it very well and with a light modern twist. In fact the fillet de boeuf I had was the best I have had this year... so far ;) It was incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection: it just melted in my mouth. And the wine list is filled with good vintages.

For our visit, we were not as lucky so dined inside where it has been totally updated. It is definitely pretty hip and stylish inside. I had the tartare while my daughter had the smoked salmon to start and then she had the turbot and I had the lamb. Everything was delicious but the cuisine is less homey relative to what it used to be. It is definitely more of a fine dining experience up on the mountain so would make your plans with that in mind and not for a very short stop.

Wow, what can I say about this place except that I had one of my most memorable meals ever. The…read morerestaurant has a cafeteria style section for those having a quick lunch, and a more formal seated area with table service. We were lucky enough to be seated in a private seating area with a small fireplace lounge and table for about 10 people. While we didn't have outside views it was a quiet area where we could remove or boots and relax for an incredible meal. Let me start by saying this is not an inexpensive place. Our group of 7 people rang up a bill of just over 700 euro for a full meal including a couple of bottles of great wine. Totally worth it though. We started with an award winning pate recommended by our waiter. I'm not a big fan of pate, but maybe because I've never had anything like this before. A description of this treat defies me as it was a mixture of pate and foie gras sandwiched between an incredibly flaky pastry with other stuff? I have it in a picture so you'll have to take a look. We also had some prawns with orange/caramel sauce that were also amazing. They have a number of "shared" meals for two, so our group took advantage of it and ordered fish (Turbot I believe), suckling pig shoulder, and a beef rib that was more like a bone-in steak. All were delicious but my favorite was the beef, it was perfectly cooked with an amazing rub. We finished everything up with a marshmallow plate they brought out and some coffee as we had to start our way back to Val d'isere. Overall an extremely memorable meal and experience I will absolutely hope to repeat again someday.

It's a perfect little spot with lots of amazing choices on the menu so you'll always find something that you like on there! My two favorite dishes on the menu are local specialities. If you are going to get raclette anywhere, this is the place to get it! Why you ask? The presentation! Their raclette heater is beyond beautiful! But enough about the heater, the cheese is fantastic and paired with their huge charcuterie platter and big bowl of potatoes and big bowl of salad it is absolute perfection! If you don't feel like you need to be rolled out of there, you didn't do it right! They give you a huge amount of cheese and so much meat to keep you busy. I also highly recommend their fondue. The fondue here is perfect in every single way. The keep an eye out to make sure the fire isn't too hot and burning the cheese and not getting too cold at the same time. If I remember correctly they use three different cheeses in their fondue so the flavor is spot on! We did fondue delivery from another place a week before and this fondue kicked it's butt! I shared this with my mother and when we got the pot, we thought they gave us way too much cheese but we managed to finish the whole pot it was that good! This is a great local spot and I would recommend it to any one in the area. Cozy up next to the fireplace, enjoy some wine and a nice raclette and you'll be one happy person! I can't wait to go back!

La Folie Douce is the go-to place for Apres partying in the Alps. In my review of La Folie Douce at…read moreVal Thorens, I wrote that getting bottle service here would be refreshing for any American sick of sneaky upsells, snooty staff, and fees piled on top of fees. I found this to still be true at the Val D'Isere (Tignes) location, though this location is lackadaisical perhaps to a fault. If you are trying to book a VIP table (for which no minimum is listed but would generally be understood to be about 500 euro), you want to use the online form for "La Veranda." The main differences in setup here compared to VT are that the elevated VIP section here is split into an outside portion (4 tables) and an inside-ish portion (6 tables?). The outside portion doesn't have a direct line of sight to the DJ booth. Also, you can't order food here. We ordered burgers from the grill (which were delicious) and ate them before coming up. I would have loved the oysters (etc) that I enjoyed at VT instead. The one *positive* difference is that there is more space here and there is a stage for live performances, which is really cool to witness even if you're just skiing past. The bottle menu is not particularly expensive and there are no hidden fees. Service was great and the party went until 5pm. One thing I found weird here was that in the inner VIP area, there was a family of 20+ with children (not just under 18 but also much younger). It was surprising that the kids were allowed in to begin with, but they were also allowed to commingle with the dance floor and with the outer VIP area. Other weird thing was that we wanted to purchase one more bottle before last call. My friend got tricked into buying a magnum with the classic "we're all out of 750s." Though the staff was friendly in their parting, they didn't really provide any instructions as to getting down the mountain or anything and we found the bouncers to be rather cold when it came to the end of the day (big difference from Cloud 9 and others).
