Restaurants cuisine régionale Aoste

An emblematic establishment in downtown Aosta, with a decoration that's... surprising! Cowbells hang above the tables and counter, while old working tools and, above all, a fine collection of copper cheese-making cauldrons hang on the walls of the small dining room. The menu is rich, rigorously traditional (charcuterie and fondues in the spotlight!), and the raw materials are of excellent quality. The owner will talk to you about the history of his region and even let you taste his homemade alcohol.

In the main street, the "Maison du Bandit", in reference to an ancestor of the owner who, like the mountain dwellers of yesteryear, traded illegally with Switzerland to escape poverty, is a very interesting little establishment. Managed by a Frenchwoman, it offers Valle d'Aosta-style catering, whether for a frugal meal or a hearty dinner. The ingredients are of the highest quality and sourced as far as possible from the region: you can even choose the piece of meat you eat! Good wine list. Pleasant terrace.

One of the best wine libraries in the center. Amidst the shelves displaying dozens of different labels, you can enjoy a quick meal seated next to a barrel, choosing one of the dishes of the day accompanied, of course, by a glass of wine. The wines on offer come mainly from the Aosta Valley and neighbouring Piedmont. Both the best-known brands and smaller producers are represented, and it's easy to come across ampelographic rarities or niche but sought-after productions.
