Where to eat in Les Gets: restaurant guide & shortlists
The best restaurants in Les Gets: La Païka's mountain barbecue, Le Vaffieu's famous croûte near the Pleney, Italian at La Bokka and where families actually eat.
Les Gets keeps its dining relaxed and mountain-led. La Païka runs a wood-fired barbecue and a famous cake table on the Vorosses piste, Le Vaffieu serves proper Savoyard croûte near the top of the Pleney, La Bokka brings southern-Italian cooking to the Kinabalu residence, and village spots handle easy family dinners.
Les Gets keeps things refreshingly low-key. This is a village that skis and eats like a family resort, so the dining leans towards mountain barbecues, Savoyard chalets and easy Italian rather than tasting menus. Here is where to eat, from the slopes above the Pleney to the centre of the village.

Mountain restaurants: lunch on the slopes
The best meals in Les Gets are often the ones you ski to. Two spots stand out for a long lunch in the sun.
La Païka
Set in a renovated alpage building on the blue Vorosses piste down to La Turche, La Païka is widely rated the best mountain restaurant in the area, and it is easy to see why. An outdoor barbecue greets you at the door, the cuts of meat are superb and varied, and there are tiger prawns despite the lack of a nearby sea. As you walk in you pass two tables of freshly baked homemade cakes.
The sun terrace looks straight at Mont Chéry. Mains run from around €17 for a bolognese up to €32 for a barbecued côte de boeuf, fair for the setting. Booking is advised; the team at Hotel La Marmotte, who run it, can arrange a shuttle or a snowshoe walk up on certain days.
Chez Nannon
For an on-piste Savoyard stop, Chez Nannon is reached via the Ravarettes or Troncs Express chairlifts and does the regional classics: tartiflette, cheese-heavy plates and slow mountain dishes.
It is the sort of place that turns a half-day into a full one, so leave time to get back down before the lifts close.
Savoyard in the village and above
If you want cheese done properly, one chalet sets the standard near the top of the Pleney.
Le Vaffieu
A traditional Savoyard chalet a short ski or walk from the top of the Pleney cable car, Le Vaffieu is full of exposed beams and alpine paraphernalia, with a large heated indoor-outdoor terrace. Locals and visitors rate its croûte as the best on the mountain, and the lamb cutlets and seabass are there for anyone who has had enough melted cheese.
On a sunny day, book the terrace. In the depths of winter, aim for the table closest to the bar, where you can listen to the owners and locals in full flow.
Italian and world flavours
When cheese fatigue sets in, the village has answers.
La Bokka
La Bokka is a chic Italian trattoria and cocktail bar in the Kinabalu residence near the Mont Chéry gondola. The chef comes from southern Italy and works with produce sourced directly in Italy: antipasti, arancini, fresh pasta and pizza, with a glass-encased wine cellar and a central cocktail bar in the room.
It opens for dinner through the winter season, roughly mid-December to late March, and closes on Sundays. For something completely different, Vina Annapurna in the centre offers gourmet sharing plates worth a look.

Les Gets is built for mixed groups, and the food follows. You are never far from an easy dinner that keeps children and grown-ups happy.
