Ristorante Sant’Orso

In true mountain style, wide windows overlook the Sant’Orso meadows and the Gran Paradiso, with staff in traditional attire. Each day the choice ranges from local classics to refined seasonal dishes with fresh pasta and regional produce; a children’s menù is also available. The chef offers a creative take on Valle d’Aosta cuisine: among the antipasti, battuta of pezzata rossa valdostana with honey mustard and wholemeal chips, trilogy of mocetta (beef, venison, wild boar), and Fontina in three maturations. For primi, beetroot risotto with pea cream and Bleu d’Aoste foam; for secondi, carbonada of pezzata rossa valdostana with polenta, or the classic fonduta valdostana. Also notable is the fish selection, from local freshwater trout to traditional catch prepared with skill. Desserts include the famous crema di Cogne with tegole della Vallée or crème brûlée with Genepy. A splendid summer terrace invites guests to sip local wines or sparkling labels. À la carte 30–55 €.
