If you're looking for somewhere that serves great veggie dishes when you're in Avoriaz, look no further than our edit for where to go.

In recent years the number of people in Europe choosing a vegetarian or vegan diet has grown rapidly, now with more than ten percent of Europeans choosing a meat-free diet.

In a country where local cheeses and meats are a part of almost daily nourishment, it can be hard to find top quality vegetarian options on French menus, but with times changing, restaurants are adapting, and here are the best places for the veggies to chow down in Avoriaz.

Best Veggie Bites

La Fruitière Restaurant, Avoriaz

La Fruitière Restaurant

Location
Avoriaz

La Fruitière at Folie Douce in Avoriaz serves gourmet regional dishes with a buzzing mountain atmosphere. Burgers include a pulled beef option and the plant-based Le Boyond, plus casual burgers at La Petite Cuisine. Open daily with après-ski entertainment, it’s a must-visit on the plateau.

Located at the top of Avoriaz and accessible by foot or skis, La Fruitière offers a warm and lively dining experience inspired by traditional mountain life. The restaurant’s name recalls the old dairy cooperatives famous for their cheese, and the menu reflects this heritage with dishes crafted from locally sourced Savoie and Swiss produce. Head chef Franck Mischler and his team create regional specialities with a modern twist.

For burger lovers, there’s a pulled beef burger and a plant-based option called Le Boyond. If you prefer something more casual, their cantine La Petite Cuisine also offers burgers. Open every day with two lunchtime sittings, La Fruitière is a great spot to enjoy a gourmet meal and stay on for the famous Folie Douce après-ski with live music on the terrace.

La Terrasse Des Lindarets Restaurant

Location
Avoriaz - Les Lindarets

Fun restaurant serving Corsican food and specialities, in a magnificent setting you can eat and drink out on the terrace with live music and DJs, or get warm in the restaurant.

The restaurant is on the slope that runs through the adorable and quaint village of Les Lindarets, which runs down to the Ardent telecabine. It's a really unique and fun atmosphere, on a street/piste full of restaurants and bars spilling out onto the snow. This restaurant really stands out, with it's large sunny terrace which is great for groups dining together, with good vibes and music. After lunch the party really starts with live DJs and dancing on the terrace and tables! Their excellent and fast service means you can get back on the slopes quickly if you want to. 

On the menu you'll find a varied selection, with Corsican specialities and fish dishes inspired by the owner David, as well as some traditional Savoyarde plates, steaks, salads, burgers, pastas - something to please everyone! Finish of with a delicious tart or cafe gourmand (a selection of mini-deserts), and wash it down with a Genepy digestif! Although most traditional Savoyard dishes contain or are served with local charcuterie, perhaps the most well-known dish of all is vegetarian - the famous cheese fondue. A Swiss-French classic, the fondue here is a standout dish, combined with a glass of wine and a fantastic après atmosphere mid-afternoon, you’re guaranteed to have a good time. 

This a a great spot for lunch, or to stop of at on your way down to Montriond at the end of the ski day, for a boogie and a drink. You can ski down to the Ardent carpark without taking any lifts.

In the summer, the local farm goats are left to roam wild in the streets, and the village is aptly nicknamed 'goat village', attracting many tourists. Enjoy watching the goats cause havoc and explore the streets whilst you settling in for your your lunch and drinks. 

Open in summer and winter.
