Here at WhiteRoad we recommend La Reserve restaurant. Located in the heart of Avoriaz’s village La Reserve serves traditional French food. These gourmet dishes are presented beautifully and taste delicious. With live music frequently being played the atmosphere is fantastic. It is a great place to wind down with a large glass of wine in a cosy alpine setting.
