Out for a meal after a day on the slopes, came across L'Arbre de Vie slightly off the main street. Got a table for four without a booking (Monday night) although it was full. Food was great - between us we had cod, tagine and prawns. A really nice mix for a French restaurant - Raclette and Fondue still available but other choices too if you are having a cheese overload. Profiteroles for dessert were stunningly good - just make sure you've had a hard day on the skis to burn off the calories! The tree in the centre is a wonderful centerpiece and adds to the generally quirky vibe. Overall a lovely dinner, price was pretty standard for the resort. Would definitely go again
Beautiful small place in Val Disere only at the XI Bar! The restaurant managed to squeeze us as a last minute and even came to meet us when we lost finding it! The atmosphere blossoms in the restaurant with...people laugh and enjoy the brilliant food/drink. It seemed like the fondue/raklettes were a favorite here, but we chose the burger... Oh, my word, incredible! Make sure you have an appetite, the food is plentiful and the standard exceeds expectations. A beautiful little place to which I do not hesitate when I return!
Quite small and very popular book a few days ahead. Charming staff and nice ambience. Much better than its unprepossessing location in a little mall would suggest. I had an excellent Veloute de la Foret, e15 but worth it, and then the Entrecote Simmental...which was perfectly cooked. All the traditional Savoyarde dishes are available too Fondues, Raclette etc.
With a group of 4 polite Canadians, 2 of whom are fully bilingual, we got horribly ignorant service. Nothing made sense. We were willfully ignored. The food was excellent, so we enjoyed and have full bellies, but we have no idea why or how we got repeatedly ignored. None of us would ever go back, the punishment was not worth the delicious food.

We were a big table of 16 and the restaurant was very courteous, although some of our party were very loud. Service was punctual, there was a good selection of different foods on the menu to please everyone and it was not too expensive. It is a small restaurant and there was only a small toilet. Otherwise we had a nice meal there.
Remember to book in advance. We arrived at 7pm & it was great with the place all for ourselves. Great food & service. The burger & entrecôte with blue cheese were fantastic. Same with the egg casserole & the foie gras with caramelized fig jam. The lamb was tasty but the sauce was too sweet. Big portions so come hungry.
Great departure from typical French cuisine in the alps. Not the biggest menu but everything on it was delicious. Decent wine llst and friendly staff. Book in advance especially if it is Chalet host night off!
Great restaurant with fusion cuisine. Very nice and efficient staff. The interior with a "tree" is cool. Had the entrecote and the meat melted in my mouth! I do recommend this place for a nice dinner.

The restaurant is tucked away up an arcade and looks inauspicious. However the food and service were just great, prices reasonable. Loved it
Great food, French Morracan in Val d'isere. What a break from the usual mountain Fayre. Absolutely.
