Located just above La Croisette in Les Menuires, family-run L’Etoile offers a friendly welcome and some excellent authentic Savoyard dishes; the tartiflette is particularly notable.

It is also home to a fantastic wine cellar.

Situated at the bottom of the Granges chair, between Les Menuires and St Martin de Belleville, this restaurant comes highly recommended.
The restaurant boasts a beautiful sun terrace, which boasts exquisite views across the valley.
It has a large but cosy interior with a central log fire and exposed beams, making it an ideal stopping point on those cold snowy days.
The menu includes some beautifully-cooked Savoyard cuisine, salads and brasserie-style dishes.
If you are looking to stop off for a warming drink then make sure you try the chocolate chaud topped with cream.
