This includes lots of small, delicate portions with some unbelievable flavours. Some of the dishes we’ve enjoyed are king prawns with scrambled egg, lamb medallions on a bed of creamed carrots, local fresh water fish in cream and snails with very strong garlic ice cream! Worth a splurge and the lunchtime set menu is a good deal for the quality being offered. Celebrating 10 Years of having a Michelin Star in 2016!

L’Oxalys, Val Thorens
Tel: 04 79 00 12 29
Unusually for a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Alps, this one can be reached on skis from Courchevel, Méribel or Les Ménuires, thereby qualifying as “slopeside”. Chef Jean Sulpice was awarded a second Michelin star for his inventive dishes. It is the highest starred restaurant in France, but not the most expensive. If you have the opportunity to eat there, try the shoulder of lamb with caramelised coriander or trout in a dressing. He and his wife are holding cookery classes in the restaurant and you get to eat what you create.
