Café / Brasserie Restaurants in Arc 1800 — 5 of Our Favourites

Located at the top of the Villards gondola, it is a great choice for lunch for skiers and pedestrians alike! Their wholesome menu includes regional favourites made with local produce and lovingly prepared in the knowing ways of yesteryear. Think generous servings of salad, pizza, quiche, grilled meat, pasta and homemade desserts, as well as daily specials (including a soup and a 'plat du jour'). The quality cuisine is served in a chic and atypical setting, with the interior boasting a mix of authentic wood and contemporary materials.

This is not the only restaurant available at La Folie Douce. La Fruitière serves contemporary cuisine with a menu designed by Chef Franck Mischler. At Le Butcher, you can enjoy a quick but tasty lunch; choose from burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, paninis, crepes, waffles and a lot more.

After lunch, enjoy one of La Folie Douce's famous parties. Every day, the best performers, dancers, musicians and DJs gather on the terrace of this hot spot for a cabaret show and, from 15:00, La Folie Douce turns into a club for the ultimate après-ski experience.

On the small menu you'll surely find something to please, with a selection of meat and vegetarian options, as well as local Savoyarde favourites including sharing fondues, raclette and tartiflette. Not forgetting the enticing home-made tarts and desserts to finish.

Each day you'll also be offered a new menu du jour, with a simple and affordable two-course menu selected by the chef.

Enjoy your meal within the cosy and traditional-style restaurant, or on the sunny terrace.

The owners and staff welcome you for lunch and dinner with quick and friendly service.

Benji’s is a lively piste-side spot in Les Arcs 1800 where you can tuck into hearty Tex-Mex dishes, juicy steaks and tasty burgers. Whether you’re after a filling lunch or a fun place to unwind after skiing, this buzzing restaurant bar has you covered. 

The burgers are generous and satisfying, but the menu goes well beyond, with crowd pleasers like nachos, fajitas and grilled meats. There’s a big sunny terrace for soaking up the views, and the atmosphere ramps up later in the day with happy hour, live sports and a proper après buzz. It’s more pub than posh, just good food, good drinks and good vibes.

It’s a small space with a proper American diner feel, so grab a table if you can or go for a speedy takeaway instead. Leave room for something sweet; the chocolate bretzel with Nutella is a winner, or check the board for the dessert of the day.

Pasta, soups, quiches, sandwiches, pizzas, daily specials, cakes, crêpes or waffles are some of the specialities you will find on their menu. There is also a wide range of hot and cold drinks.

Due to its central location, it can be busy sometimes.
