Eating Out:

Val Thorens is a high-spirited place at night with a lively club, bar, and pub scene. Nightspots come in a variety of flavors, from the pulsating techno discotheques to the French wine bars to the more subdued British-style pubs where you can gather with friends for a round of pints.

Popular bars are Le Monde and Bloopers, the Frog and Roast Beef, Pub Lincoln, and the Sherlock. There are also plenty of wine bars, and El Gringo, the Mexican restaurant, is a wild place, specializing in margaritas and tequila shots. A favourite club for many is Malaysia" club.

Most of the 50 odd restaurants in Val Thorens are of course French, serving local specialities such as fondue, raclette along with more traditional items such as steak. The town also boasts a good selection of Italian, Mexican and French-style fast food options.
