Restaurants cuisine du monde Aosta Valley

After effort comes comfort, doesn't it? In summer, walk to the Tétras Lyre refuge, a converted former mountain pasture building. You'll enjoy an exceptional panorama, alone in the middle of the mountains, and a hearty plate of Valle d'Aosta specialities. Enjoy a polenta or risotto on the delightful terrace, intoxicated by the fragrance of the surrounding pine trees and carried away by the sound of the Savara torrent flowing below. The refuge also offers self-catering accommodation: double, family or dormitory rooms.

In the rustic dining room, you can order traditional Mediterranean dishes revisited with Valle d'Aosta notes thanks to regional ingredients: fun! Alternatively, you can choose between Piedmontese classics (including the famous bonet, a chocolate andamaretto cake) and Valle d'Aosta classics. There are also original compositions such as artichoke flan with parmesan cream, or artisan tagliolini with black cabbage cream and mozzarella di bufala. Very practical: the dishes are sold to take away.

The restaurant of this luxury hotel offers a daily à la carte menu, composed of dishes from the Valle d'Aosta tradition, as well as Italian and Mediterranean dishes. The decoration is chic, as is the way the plates are dressed. You will find internationally renowned labels on the wine list.

Between the irregular stone walls and the beamed ceiling lies the refined restaurant of the eponymous luxury hotel-spa. It revisits and lightens the dishes of the Valle d'Aosta and Italian tradition. It goes without saying that the raw materials are sourced from small, first-class local producers. The rack of lamb from the mountain pastures raised under the mother in crispy breading, with a mountain herb and beetroot juice, was fabulous.

This typical trattoria in the center of Gressan, at the start of the road up to the Pila resort, combines Valle d'Aosta gastronomic traditions with those of other Italian regions. Among the best specialties are meat dishes from the Chianina breed of cattle. The setting is very pleasant, with a small terrace seating around 50, shaded by a wisteria pergola. In the list of fine wines, a special place goes to bottles from the homonymous Gargantua cellar in the same commune.

In a beautiful stone house, you'll find a restaurant that's part of a larger structure: a biodynamic agritourism. Everything you eat here is healthy... and delicious! Menus are designed around what the owners find in the garden and the animals they raise. All additional ingredients are sourced locally and are strictly organic, as is the flour for the bread and pasta. The restaurant hall is magnificent: its wide stone vaults have an extraordinary charm.

This restaurant overlooking the vineyards of Arvier offers typical dishes of Valle d'Aostan cuisine, often decorated with spontaneous and edible flowers, as well as many other Italian specialities based on fish. The plate dressing is really excellent, the raw materials are of good quality and the tastes ... unique.

On the road to the Great Saint Bernard, a small restaurant where you can eat a Valle d'Aosta or Italian dish. Friendly staff.
