Lauvitel Lodge Garden Restaurant

Our Food:

We enjoy preparing food that delights, whatever the rhythm and intention of your day: good food that is fresh, healthy, prepared with love and right for you (including vegetarian, plus gluten and lactose free).

New this year is that we are going organic in the garden restaurant! To keep in line with our growing ethos of connecting directly with nature and being good to the planet, we will be serving local and organic food and drinks in the garden this summer.

Keep an eye out for our new summer menu which we will be posting on line this year. We also want you to know that we have a great selection for our vegetarian friends - you will find a real selection of delicious, healthy, attractive options on our lunchtime menu.

Mid-day Lunch 12.00 – 14.30: A moment of pure pleasure

For those looking for a real moment of pleasure together, take time out from all the mountain activity and enjoy one of our more elaborate meals: tasty starters, original salads or speciality dishes such as Pierrade or Raclette (please pre-order) followed by a choice of delicious desserts, not to mention our selection of local beers and quality wines. Combined with sun loungers, hammock and table tennis, lunchtimes often prolong themselves into lazy and relaxing afternoons.

For those that are on the move, It may be a light lunch with classic mountain salads or something with an original twist to prepare you for the walk to Lauvitel Lake. Or it may be something more substantial like a nourishing homemade burger with French fries to recuperate on your way down.

Garden Café and Bar from 10am until 18.30pm - For your delicious afternoon break.

Traditionally a popular stop off on the way up or way down from Lauvitel Lake, we are also worth a special visit if you are in the Oisans valleys; a short detour from the new “voie vert” cycle route; or a walk from Venosc that is less demanding but equally inspiring and beautiful. We serve speciality cold beer, good coffee, fresh tea, artisanal ice-cream and not forgetting a selection of extremely good homemade cakes. Whilst we try to make sure we have an ample supply of our famous blueberry tarts we also do great carrot cake, amazing blueberry cheesecake and the best chocolate brownie. Definitely worth a detour!

Our Gardens: Relax and Enjoy

Guests often call our garden restaurant “a little corner of paradise”, with its array of colourful flowers, the soft sounds of running water from the garden fountain and the cool shade from our mature lime trees, all surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery. There is also enough space for the children to enjoy, a quiet reading area, a stone labyrinth and a relaxing game of table tennis for those who prefer more action.
