Where to eat in La Thuile
Finding somewhere to eat in La Thuile is easy: the town offers a variety of excellent restaurants that cater to every taste – from fine dining to casual pizza and quick bites before bed.
Eating out in La Thuile is a truly enjoyable experience, especially if you're eager to sample traditional Aosta Valley dishes, which are made from simple yet incredibly flavoursome local and genuine ingredients.
Speaking of which, we highly recommend trying Soca, a traditional soup made with potatoes, cabbage, beans and black bread – perfect after a cold day on the slopes. Don't miss the chance to sample the local meat specialities either, such as boudin, a savoury sausage made from pig's blood, seasoned with spices and herbs and then served with lard and boiled potatoes, or the classic motsetta, dried goat or beef served as an appetiser. For cheese lovers, indulge in a tasting of local varieties like Beaufort, tome, and Fontina, either on their own or paired with polenta.
Finding a great place to eat in La Thuile is a breeze. Just step into any establishment and check the menu.
Drinking is equally enjoyable, with local wines like Pinot Noir, Gamay and Petite Arvine highly recommended. But if you have a sweet tooth, the real highlight is the chocolate, which deserves a special mention. La Thuile is home to a nationally acclaimed Maître Chocolatier, whose creations rival those from the finest schools of Piedmont, France, Switzerland and Belgium. Indulge in unique chocolates filled with saffron pistils from San Gavino (Sardinia), Cayenne pepper, Provence lavender, Virginia tobacco, aloe, black tea and rose petals, orange and even Génépi!
