Introduction
It is 10:30pm in Val d'Isère. You are coming off the slopes after a last sunset run, or leaving an evening with friends, and only one question matters: where can you eat now? In a ski resort, the answer is trickier than it sounds. Most kitchens close early, and after 10pm finding a real table becomes a challenge.
This guide covers late-night dining in Val d'Isère: how late you can actually eat, why options are so limited, and the one address that serves late and keeps the night going without making you change venue.
Why it is hard to eat late in Val d'Isère
Val d'Isère is a ski resort first, and its rhythm follows the mountain. The first dinner service starts early, around 7pm, and most restaurants stop the kitchen between 9pm and 10pm before closing. After a long day of skiing, a spa session or a drink that runs long, you quickly fall outside the window.
The result: after 10pm, options shrink to a few bars serving snacks, or going home hungry. For a proper late dinner — seated, full menu — choice is rare.
IMA: dinner served until 11pm, then a club until 4am
This is exactly the gap IMA fills, in the heart of Val d'Isère (120 Rue du Parc des Sports, a minute from the centre). Chef Elie Fischmann's Levantine cuisine is served every evening from 7pm to 11pm — one of the latest seatings in the resort. Sharing mezze, signature hummus, spiced lamb, grilled fish: a full menu, even when others have switched off the stoves.
And IMA does not stop there. From 11pm, the restaurant becomes a club until 4am: DJ sets, signature cocktails, VIP tables with bottle service. You dine late, then the evening continues naturally — no moving, no rounding up the group, no hunting for another place.
What to order for a late dinner
IMA's sharing cuisine is ideal for a late dinner: you build your meal around your appetite and the hour. A selection of mezze (hummus, moutabal, fattoush, falafel) makes a light late-evening meal; the grills and signature dishes for a real post-ski hunger. All paired with the house Levantine cocktails — pomegranate, orange blossom, rose water — that already bridge into the club's mood.
