2 Best Restaurants in Courmayeur/Monte Bianco, Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta

At one of the most popular restaurants in the Valle d'Aosta (reservations are recommended) you'll find country-style home cooking in a mountain house with lots of atmosphere, including red-and-white checkered tablecloths, antiques, farm tools, and bric-a-brac of all kinds. There's a set menu where cheese, dessert, and fresh fruit complete the meal, or you can order à la carte.

The Garin family made over the oldest tavern in Courmayeur to create a warm and inviting restaurant that has a 17th-century stone vault, old wooden floor, and huge stone fireplace. The menu offers seasonal specialties and innovative interpretations of regional dishes, and the cozy bar is a popular (and crowded) place for a predinner drink.
