One of the most enjoyable aspects of your time in Tignes will be sampling the local cuisine. And when you feel you've had enough French food, there are plenty of
restaurants specialising in other types of food, from English to Belgian to Oriental. Menu prices vary considerably but you can usually tell from the appearance of a restaurant whether it will break the bank or not. If you are on a budget, look out for the many cheap pizza restaurants or Brit bars that do food.
Five to try
Jam BarLiving up to its name, the Jam bar manages to be cool and trendy, offering live music, internet access and Sky Sports.
Bagus Cafe

Caveau

Couloir

Armailly
Situated on the main road, near the piste, the staff are very friendly whether you pop in for a coffee or have a three course meal. The pizzas are very good, as are the steaks, which are served with Savoyarde potatoes and vegetables.
Our penny's worth
If you love your meat then Tignes’ restaurants offer some fantastic grill dishes such as duck (canard), lamb (agneau) or the most renowned, steaks. When you order these, you will be asked if you want your meat rare (saignant), pink (rose), medium (a point) or well done (bien cuit).
