Restaurant & terraces for fine mountain cuisine in Val Thorens
A refined and committed restaurant to awaken the taste buds and tickle the senses…, in the heart of the Vallée des Belleville, between Les Menuires and Val Thorens, on 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 Martial Vuillemin and his brigade are working on an assault of flavours, 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
Our menu naturally includes the traditional Savoyard fondue, raclette or croziflette, but always with a special touch to give meaning and balance between audacity and culinary heritage. The marrow bone, farmhouse ribs, pumpkin velouté, perfect egg or Savoy vegetables are adjusted 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 our mountain pastures and the valley can be enjoyed fresh, accompanied by the best of our local and international wines.
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!
In summer, our guests’ children can play safely in our supervised play area from 12.30pm to 2.30pm, next to the “l’Arbé” chalet.
