This restaurant up at the top of the Solaise Express is a definite sun trap, and when you visit on a bluebird day like I did, it’s impossible not to work on your goggle tan on the extensive decking area outside.
The Tête de Solaise is a classic mountain restaurant with everything you would expect when you’re looking for a rest stop. It’s got a great self-service restaurant serving classics like spaghetti bolognaise and steak haché with chips, but also does a very impressive salad or soup, as well as a rather tasty tartiflette.
There is also a dedicated pizzeria, so if you don’t fancy anything on offer in the self-service area then this is a great alternative to consider.
What would any mountain restaurant in Val d’Isère be without a top notch à la carte restaurant to provide for those who aren’t looking to save their pennies. Located in a glass conservatory, this restaurant certainly isn’t short of light and offers attractive views to go with the excellent food.
The Tête de Solaise also likes to have fun. With a great glass bar, it’s a terrific place to grab a meal in the sun or spend the afternoon hitting their volleyball court if you get bored of skiing.
