Restaurant in Val-d'Isère

Gourmet cuisine in Val d’Isère

At AVANCHER, the restaurant is part of the house’s history. Since 1958, people have come here to eat, get together and extend the day over a good meal.

Today, Olivier Nuret and his team champion French gastronomy rooted in the mountains, with a choice that gives the restaurant its personality: bringing together on the same menu real mountain cooking and more gourmet dishes.

You can choose a fondue, a tartiflette or a raclette, but also, depending on the season, be tempted by a slow-cooked egg, a risotto, a fine cut of meat or crispy calf’s sweetbreads. The idea is not to impose one style on you: everyone should be able to find what they fancy at the same table.

Traditional raclette, an AVANCHER ritual

If you are looking for a raclette restaurant in Val d’Isère, AVANCHER’s raclette is an experience worth having.

The cheese is placed under the grills in the middle of the dining room until it is perfectly golden. The raclette maker then follows the pace of each table and serves the hot portions straight onto your plate.

Raclette is all-you-can-eat. No need to watch the grill or ask for the next portion: the raclette makers observe, anticipate and come back at the right moment. Over time, this service has become one of the house’s signatures.

Fondue, mountain cooking and gourmet dishes

Prefer a fondue? Lighter cooking? A dish built around a fine ingredient? The menu is designed precisely to bring these cravings together.

This variety matters at AVANCHER. For a long time, mountain restaurants often chose between local specialities on one side and more gastronomic cooking on the other. Here, the two meet naturally.

Generous, straightforward cooking, devoted to produce, to cooking techniques and to the pleasure of eating.

A restaurant open to Val d’Isère

The restaurant is not just for hotel guests. Locals, seasonal workers, regulars, couples, friends and passing visitors come together in the same dining room. This mix contributes directly to the atmosphere of the place.

In winter, you come back here after a day on the slopes. In summer, you enjoy the terrace after a hike, a bike ride or a day spent savouring the cool air and the many activities of the mountains.

And if you would like to extend the moment, our bar awaits you just a few steps away for a cocktail, a sharing board or one of the many wines in the cellar.
