Restaurant & terraces for fine cuisine between Les Menuires and Val Tho
A refined and committed table to awaken the taste buds and tickle the senses…, in the heart of the Vallée des Belleville, an alpine chalet restaurant between Les Menuires and Val Tho, in the 3 Vallées ski area.
Welcome !
Refined, creative and committed bistronomy from morning to night
The cuisine at Chez Pépé Nicolas is an invitation to discover mountain and Savoy dishes with finesse and refinement, from lunch to dinner to afternoon tea. Between tradition and culinary originality, our cuisine evolves with the winter and summer seasons.
All our dishes are made using fresh produce from our garden, our mountain pasture, the trout pond we keep on site, and our network of local producers, all of whom are committed to quality.
Chef Maxime Douillard works with his brigade and the whole Chez Pépé Nicolas team to surprise each and every one of our guests.
The finesse of these gestures can be felt on every plate, sculpted with aromas and generosity.
Revisited dishes, combining tradition and modernity
As an iconic restaurant in Les 3 Vallées, our menu naturally includes traditional Savoyard fondue, raclette, and croziflette, but always with a special touch to give meaning and balance between boldness and culinary heritage. Marrow bones, farmhouse ribs, pumpkin soup, perfect eggs, and Savoyard vegetables—all these Savoyard recipes from a restaurant specializing in Savoyard cuisine are tweaked to surprise and awaken the taste buds. Farandoles of flowers and aromatic herbs from our garden light up the plates and the smiles.
Our selection of cheeses from the mountain pastures of our own cheese dairy and from the valley can be enjoyed fresh, accompanied by the best of our wines made from grape varieties from here and elsewhere. Discover the details of how our cheeses are made.
Our pastry chef offers a menu of desserts as creative as they are traditional, designed for gourmets of all ages. Luminous creative treats, shortbread or creamy, crunchy or melt-in-the-mouth, colourful or floral… Stuffing, rissoles and rice pudding to be enjoyed without moderation!
The little shepherds are treated to a special menu and a play area in the great outdoors!
For the little ones, Chez Pépé Nicolas has designed the ‘Little Shepherd’s Menu’ with adapted Savoyard dishes and more classic recipes, all with a twist!
