Restaurant Les Fleurs

/in , /by

Tiziano and Nathalie warmly welcome you, with laudable politeness and savoir-faire, in their restaurant on the road for Pila, 12 kms away from Aosta, where they offer a traditional cuisine with a touch of creativity: the end-result is absolutely exquisite. The seasonal menu changes often, and the wine list features few selected but excellent bottles, mainly from the local area. This restaurant, from the inside of which you can enjoying a breath-taking view on the city of Aosta, is recommended for a quick lunch, but also for a romantic dinner, or for an evening with friends and children. It will feel like being on a plane! During wintertime, the restaurant offers mushrooms, potatoes and winter-rye soup, or, as starters, traditional Valdostans dishes such as crepes au gratin filled with D.O.P Fontina cheese and ham. The offer of first courses is rich and varied, never basic: from wild-boar ravioli, to pumpkin tortelloni, to fresh egg tagliatelle served with chickpeas cream, guanciale, and a hint of rosemary. Among the second courses, all served with a seasonal side, we recommend the Fassona veal tagliata with jam of Renette apples, spicy dressing, and green pepper dressing, all served on dishes hand-crafted by a local artisan. There is also a children’s menu, and in summertime it is possible to have lunch or dine in the dehors. Excellent value for money, with an average price of 30 Euros per meal.

At the Maisson Rosset agritourism cheerful and professional owner Camillo will make you feel right at home, comforted in a warm, welcoming and romantic atmosphere. The dining room is located on the ground floor which was previously used as a dining hall for farm workers. The restaurant still has all of the architectural details of its time: stone floors, ceilings with exposed bricks, a fireplace that’s always on and on which the polenta (that’s always present on the menu) bubbles away. The chef offers a variety of menus € 38 for adults and € 15 for children up until the age of 12, and is always respectful of the seasons and traditions of the valley.The fixed menu offers the possibility to sample Valdostan specialties, cooked with ingredients that are grown on the premises and which make every dish unique. We recommend their crostini with butter, honey and lard, their pates and flans, and from their first courses their polenta, gnocchi and vegetable cream soups and their juniper cured meat which is truly extraordinary. For a grand finale try their fennel and juniper infused cheeses which are made on the premises. Leave room for their ice cream with hot chocolate that together with the polenta and fondue are unforgettable.

Decor is simple but orderly, tables are arranged with care and in the dining room owner Maurizio will make you feel comfortable right away and will promptly inform you on the dishes of the day. You’ll find classic dishes such as Valpellinese soup or Valdostan fondue with rustic polenta and the Carbonade with a side of polenta concia. Their fassone meat stew cooked with red wine and mountain herbs and berries is very good. Their dessert cart is very inviting, we recommend their moist homemade apple cake, a suitable ending for a traditional meal at a trattoria with years of history behind it. Good wine selection which includes the best local labels. The restaurant’s philosophy is to have a wide choice of menus from their kid’s menu priced at € 7, to their complete menu which starts at € 35 and which is proposed in different variations: from a light traveller’s sampling menu to a more intricate one suited for the most demanding palates.
