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.
