Local food in Evian

National dishes that are a must-try in Evian.

The national cuisine of France is hard to imagine without traditional pastries, fish or onion soup, foie gras, cheese or wine. Even if you have never been to this country, you probably know that it is considered a real gastronomic paradise.

No other country in the world pays as much attention to food as it does here. French cuisine is also called the most colorful, original and diverse on the planet.

Foie gras pâté

In France, there is not only the concept of “haute cuisine” but also regional cuisine. The traditional dishes of Évian differ somewhat from those typically enjoyed in Provence or, for example, in Burgundy. The main component of most dishes is considered to be goat cheese.

The most popular dish in Évian is “tartiflette” — a gratin made with potatoes, onions, bacon, cream, and cheese. The mountainous region where the resort town is located is regarded as the birthplace of “fondue.”

When visiting one of Évian’s charming restaurants, you should definitely try “raclette.” This dish is prepared with Reblochon cheese. The melted cheese, placed on a special stand, is poured over various sausages, as well as boiled potatoes or cured delicacies.

Tuna salad with lettuce leaves and greens

The French in this region know how to make salads. Lettuce leaves and other greens will definitely be present in them. If you do not like cheese, then you can order a dish of trout or salmon. Alternatively, you can try a dish of flavorful seafood.
