This is the space where the service team make the show happen, a rhythmic sequence and impeccable service that guides you into the chef’s world.

Courmayeur, a little city located just under the highest peaks of Europe, is known in the world for the winter sports and for the summer walks in the magnificent nature; in the last years, the city and the region of Val d’Aosta is becoming also a gastronomy destination for all the foodies.
Here, inside the Grand Hotel Royal & Golf, an historical institution of the region you find the restaurant Petit Royal, the little diamond of the hotel. A cuisine based on the best of products that the region can give, diary products, game meet, vegetables, etc…ingredients that the young chef Paolo Griffa went to discover and search over the years. Starting from what the region has to offer and what are the traditional flavors, the chef has build his own style mixing together a revisited classic and innovative combination all kept together by a line.. taste and beautiful artistic plating.

“Taste, techniques, plating and local ingredients.. all what chef Paolo Griffa use to make the territory of Val d’Aosta shine.”

While you’ll find a classical cheese chariot with all the speciality of the region or a classic combination between game meat (deer), polenta, cabbage and a meat jus with blueberries; you’ll also find a chawanmushi of pine, Jerusalem artichoke, blueberries and a mushrooms broth smoked with ant incense.
