Restaurants in Valle D'aosta

  1. Ad Forum

    A fantastic restaurant set in a stylish garden (and interior rooms) built on part of the remains of the Roman forum. Conceptual dishes such as risotto with strawberries and spumante, or Lasagnetta with pear and blue cheese, come in generous portions, and you get an equally tasty complimentary aperitif while you wait. The attached enoteca has an excellent line-up of wines.

  2. Vecchia Aosta

    Maybe it’s the French influence, but Aosta restaurants such as the Vecchia score consistently highly when it comes to culinary creativity. Grafted onto a section of the old Roman wall, the setting is sublime and the waiters highly knowledgeable (and congenial). Take their advice and go for the lamb – a real vacation highlight.

  3. Trattoria degli Artisti

    Fabulous Valdostan cuisine is dished up at this dark, cosy little trattoria, tucked down an alleyway off Via Aubert. Antipasti such as puff pastry filled with Valdostan fondue, cured ham and regional salami are followed by dishes such as roe venison with polenta, and beef braised in Morgex et La Salle white wine.

  4. La Terraza

    A lively, central bar-restaurant-pizzeria with the full gamut of pizzas, steaks and hearty après-ski fare. True to the local spirit there are also plenty of Valdostan dishes, including polenta, spicy sausage, fondue and pasta with the celebrated fontina cheese.

  5. Rifugio Pavillon

    Perched at the first midstation on the Punta Helbronner cable car at a heady height of 2173m, with a deckchair-lined sun terrace, this bar-cafe-restaurant cooks up mountain feasts including Savoy cabbage rolls with chestnuts, and wheat pasta in deer sauce.

  6. Ristorante-Pizzeria Ulisse

    Ulisse is the sort of place where the food is often brought to your table personally by the hardworking chef and the cooked-to-perfection €5 pizza Margheritas are better than anything you’ll ever taste in fancy faux Italian chains.

    Fab music bar at the base of St Jacques’ ski lift serving Alpine classics such as stewed sausages with polenta, roast wild pig and potatoes and, of course, fondue.
