The best restaurants Station des Aravis

The view of the Mont Blanc chain from the terrace is beautiful! Thread, the Mont Blanc in the foreground, then successively the Goûter Dome, the needle of the Midi and the Green Needle, recognizable as soon as the cloud of clouds left the summits. At an altitude of 1 485 metres, the magnificent chalet des Rhodos, renovated in 2014, is ideal for a nice stopover during a journey between Haute-Savoie and Savoie on the route of the Grand Alps (frequented by cyclists and bikers in summer), or simply a trip from the resorts of La Clusaz and La Croix-Fry in ten minutes by road. In winter, equipment is mandatory. In a design décor, tasteful, a chic mountain atmosphere which blends perfectly with the traditional Savoyard structure, the traditional specialities are restored as well as the changing brasserie dishes: bowl of beef tails in foie gras, candied pig breast, false beef fillet with colonata bacon,… to end with a financial aux or a delicate Pavlova. Indicated on the map, bio and low calorie proposals: gaspacho of nettle nettle to fumée smoke and tomme, pissaladière of season vegetables or vegetarian pastes. Stéphane, the owner, and his team will do everything to be satisfied - if we have forgotten his sunglasses or sight, no panic, they will give us suitable accessories, and in case of excessive freshness, a plaid. Unless you prefer to take refuge in the area, you can enjoy the fireplace. You can also book one of the guest rooms (music, cheyenne, travel, sport, mountain), contemporary, for a family or couple stay. Surprising! An address with a careful decoration that deserves a detour.

In the building of the Hotel de la Railway, after a sports day, you are happy to find yourself at the table of Eric, beekeeper at his lost hours. The room is warm, with notes of blond wood and greenish tones of white and red, perfectly by a dominant view on the Alps and Mount Lachat, further amplified on the terrace that runs along the room. The menu of the day consists of seasonal dishes, for fresh cooking with ingredients renewed daily. The Local Menu is a proposal of traditional cuisine Savoyard with Alpine flavours: hot goat goat salad, féra from Léman to bear garlic cream, nachos apples au; but also a fricassee dish from Saint-Jacques to the morels, a magret duck magret to mountain honey, and the burnt cream to the queen of the meadows… without forgetting cold meats, diots red wine, farcement. A gourmet address to discover the refined cuisine of seasonal plants, flowers and products.

On the floor of an authentic chalet, Delphine and David greet the Gourmets with ease. The decoration is good child in a rustic style with very savoyard tones: red-dominated tablecloths, walls, floors and ceilings of wood. The atmosphere is warm and cosy - a few tables near the fireplace. The terrace is huge and very well stocked to enjoy the view of the Aravis chain. On the map, the regional specialities and traditional dishes of the region. The fondue to the 4 cheeses is carried out in accordance with the traditions, with real farm cheeses. The hot stones are generous - the Royal is made up of 300 g of quality meat and a rich pick. Poultry steak with a smooth sauce sauce is a treat and the mouse mouse is melting. In the summer, we turn to salads, meunière perche or almond trout, which are doubly appreciated on the large sunny terrace, overlooking the panorama of the reverdis Alps. Wines from the region are selected for their quality, light and fragrant. A very good address!

A floor restaurant with chic chalet style, all stone and wood, with its fireplace and a clear Savoyard lines of wood. It enjoys a privileged panorama on the mountain and its large covered terrace overlooks the lively village square. The kitchen is traditional (ceps de, de dos) but does not forget the regional specialities (home bowl with hazelnuts, abomasa of the Aravis aux, fricassee, savoyard Venetian crust, tartiflette, diots…) to finish with a matafan with aux and its vanilla ice. You can also dine at the ground floor brewery, which offers a convenient service for the return of walks at uncertain times. The restaurant (2 buds) and the brasserie are two assets of the hotel La Croix Saint-Maurice in the same building. Comfort and traditions in the centre of the beautiful village!

Perfect agreement for this Arpège which sounds right in the heart of the village station, towards the Vallée valley. The sun terrace is quiet. First good note for the smiling welcome of Christian and Yannick, the managers, and the attentive service participating in the harmony of the place. Second good note for the wide choice that is presented to us on a palette that goes from cheese specialities, played with a certain brio, to a brasserie card served lunch and evening at a cool price. Nor will we fail to mention the generosity and flavours of mountain specialities prepared with quality products, including a reblochon farmer in the country. Recommendation of the Smart to avoid losing a note from this Arpège, we choose the mini-specialties tray. You also have to taste meats and desserts to hear the full breadth of this melody. To leave on the slopes in full shape or to continue the evening at the bar, to the young and dynamic atmosphere of the same place!

Friendly welcome and a sweet price for the Walk bar restaurant, Le Thôvet, taken in 2015 by Mireille and Nathalie. They are Savoyard specialities based on regional cheeses but also gluten-free dishes, a wide range of salads that vary according to season and a wide selection of pancakes and pancakes, as well as "homemade" desserts. The framework is the old wood of a warm bistro. In summer the sheltered terrace is pleasantly shaded. The prices are soft and the quality is at the meeting. Nice!
