Perched in the mountains, L'Eskis is a must for skiers in search of authentic flavour. In a warm and friendly setting, Edgar and his team serve up a generous menu inspired by Savoie traditions.

A family affair and a passion for cooking

Open for four years, L'Eskis is the result of a family collaboration between Edgar, the head chef, and his father-in-law Éric, the owner of the property. Originally from Savoy, Edgar grew up in a world where cooking was central, nourished by the culinary traditions of his region and his many seasons in the restaurant industry.

Talking about his career, Edgar reflects on the moments he spent as a child, preparing hearty Savoie dishes alongside his grandmother. Those memories have strongly influenced his cooking. Nowadays, surrounded by a loyal team at L'Eskis, he prepares a generous menu of straightforward dishes for which every ingredient has been carefully selected.

Authentic taste and local products

Because it cares about the quality and origin of the ingredients, L'Eskis sources them from the local region. The meat comes from Chambéry, while the cheese and charcuterie is carefully selected from a food artisan in Les Menuires.

These high standards are reflected in the restaurant's iconic dishes, such as Royans gratin, mushroom soup en croûte and diot sausages with polenta. The burgers, which have become the restaurant's speciality, come in several versions to appeal to all tastes.

Each year, Edgar innovates, adding new dishes to the restaurant menu. This winter, he has reinvented a great British classic, fish & chips, in an alpine version using trout, which is already a great success.

A warm and friendly atmosphere right by the slopes

More than just a restaurant, L'Eskis is a popular meeting place among skiers, instructors and regular customers who come back season after season. The rapport within the team only adds to the friendly atmosphere and clients are always greeted with enthusiasm. Some of the seasonal staff return each year, and this is felt in the friendly spirit of the place.

For those in search of a quick break between two descents, the snack bar run by Lilian, Edgar's associate, serves sweet and savoury snacks non-stop until 5pm. The deck chairs overlooking the slopes invite you to relax in the sun and enjoy the perfect setting.

Committed to quality products and warm hospitality, this mountain restaurant of the 3 Vallées has become an absolute must for fans of great food. For a delicious lunch or a quick break during your day on the slopes, when you stop off at L'Eskis you're sure of enjoying an authentic experience.
