Restaurants in Les Arcs — 4 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.

Enjoy the excellent and varied pizza menu in the restaurant or to take-away, but the cosy restaurant interior and friendly staff will surely entice you in. Their pizzas are generously topped with quality ingredients, including burrata, sundried tomatoes, and traditional Italian Parma ham.

Also on the menu are delicious Italian pasta and gnocci dishes, and you can also find Savoyarde favourites, such as the traditional fondue, and French classics include beef tartare.

Open all afternoon for lunch and dinner from midday to 22:00. Able to accommodate groups, booking recommended.

In summer (July and August) they're open from 14:30, Sunday to Thursday.

In winter they're open mid December to late April when you can stay up there in the evenings and take the torchlit descent back down with the ski guides.

They also have a large selection of wines and serve Savoyard specialities, although only for dinner. You can even buy Italian produce at their small deli.

Open in summer and winter for lunch and dinner.
