You will find a wide selection of restaurants both in the resort of Les Arcs and in the ski area and you can choose from local specialties to sushi, from pizza to fine dining so there is definitely something for everyone. You can even eat a meal in a mountain igloo or a Mongolian yurt! Les Arcs is very child-friendly and most restaurants will have a children’s menu and have early dinner times. Also, do remember that most restaurants in the resort as well as on the mountain will offer a well-priced ‘plat du jour’ or daily special.
If you’re planning a special lunch then head to Belliou La Fumee in Pre Saint Esprit where they do wonderful grills and seafood but leave room for the homemade tartes – Tarte aux myrtilles is a specialty. Or head for the Lodge in the Mille 3 area – a modern, light, airy restaurant with big windows to make the most of the views and great food. Or try Le Sanglier qui Fume in Arc 1600 – breathtaking views, cozy interior with fireplace and great steaks, wild boar, and grilled meats.
For a wonderful snack at the end of the ski day, do pay a visit to Mamie Crêpe in Arc 1800 this is a resort institution where for the best part of 40 years pancakes and crepes of all flavors have been on offer.
If you’re looking for après ski then head to La Folie Douce for the DJs, live music, and cabaret, or stop at L’Arpette Restaurant and enjoy the views from their sunny terrace where the DJs get the party going. You can stay here for dinner but be warned dancing on the table in your ski boots and skiing down with torches at the end of the night are practically a prerequisite. The liveliest of the resorts is Arc 1800 but you will find a great bar in all the resorts.
