À Flaine, Winter is as much about skiing as it is about dining. From sunny terraces and charming old buildings to contemporary design, the resort is as much a gourmet destination as it is a sporting one. Here are five restaurants to discover without delay, to combine skiing and the pleasure of the taste buds.
La Pente à Jules, the place to be for happy skiers
Perched on the edge of the pistes, La Pente à Jules is the place to be if you're in the mood for a good meal. In a relaxed atmosphere, you can sit on the south-facing terrace or inside to enjoy burgers, wraps, bruschettas and homemade snacks.
Those in a hurry can opt for the «Jules Express» service, perfect between two runs. A sunny, tasty spot where conviviality is part of the menu.
Sabaudia, the hidden surprise of Flaine Forêt
Behind a discreet façade, opposite the inclined lift no. 1, the Sabaudia hides its game well. This cosy restaurant offers a varied and refined menu, inspired by Savoyard cuisine and recipes from elsewhere.
We come here for the pleasure of discovery, in an intimate setting where mountain flavours mingle with bold creativity. A pleasant surprise for gourmets who like to get off the beaten track.
Bauhaus, French elegance
Located on the ground floor of the Hôtel Alhena, The Bauhaus is a subtle blend of mountain spirit and maritime influences.
Its tasteful decor and cosy ambience invite you to relax, while the menu offers a selection of classic French dishes using seasonal produce. Fish, meat and seafood are served at the table for a refined lunch or a romantic dinner, facing the lights of the snow front.
Le Michet, the Savoyard soul
A veritable institution, Le Michet is housed in a century-old sheepfold. In an authentic setting warmed by stone and wood, the cuisine blends tradition and modernity, with local dishes, French inspiration and touches from elsewhere.
At lunchtime, skiers sit down for a comforting break, and in the evening, the atmosphere becomes more cosy around the fire. A gastronomic interlude to enjoy on skis, in the vibrant heart of Flaine.
Ali-B, the responsible and trendy touch
On the go, but without compromise, Ali-B revisits fast food with freshness and conscience. Buckwheat pancakes, wraps, gourmet salads and homemade sweets make up a healthy and inventive menu, served in recycled containers.
The homemade drinks and eco-responsible approach are as appealing as the team's energy. A place that proves that in Flaine, you can eat fast, well and sustainably.
