Looking for the best Tignes restaurants this season?
We know how important refuelling is on a ski holiday and Tignes does not disappoint on the gastronomy front.
Tignes isn’t all about the skiing they have some fantastic restaurants serving a variety of dishes; from traditional Savoyard classics through pizzas, there is something to suit most tastes.
We have taken the time to list a selection of restaurants both on and off the mountain that we think are worth paying a visit, many of which we have had the pleasure of eating in. If you are staying in a self catered apartment in Tignes, this is the perfect time to escape cooking for yourself and sample the local delights.
La Table de Jeanne
+33 4 79 06 99 90
A great traditionally styled restaurant with generous dishes in which country produce takes pride of place. The brainchild of the Bouvier family, there’s a great selection of wines at reasonable prices as well.
The staff are incredibly friendly and the whole atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The restaurant has even been mentioned in the Michelin guide so you know the food is going to be exceptional.
Everything has been thought through from the salt pots on the tables to the hanging meats over the kitchen. If you only ate out at one restaurant all week, we’d recommend you try this one.
La Toviere
