Here are some of the most popular dishes that guests of Aosta should consider trying in local cafes and restaurants. Seupa de gri is a popular barley soup with various vegetables that depend on a season, potatoes, salt pork, and onions. It’s a fantastic dish for hungry tourists. Risotto alla valdostana is a must for all fans of creamy dishes. Made with fontina, Parmigiano Reggiano, toma and rice, this dish has everything we love in Italian cuisine. Polenta alla rascard is one more traditional dish of the region. It is cooked from corn mush that is grilled, sliced, and then served with beef, fontina, and sausages.
Fans of meat and fish will be not disappointed as well. Carbonade beef stew and various fish dishes cooked from mountain stream trout simply cannot leave anyone indifferent. When it’s time for a dessert, consider ordering a blueberry pie, apple pie with chestnut honey, or Mont Blanc ice cream. Finally, no dinner in Aosta is possible without wine. The area has some exceptional locally produced wine that is very interesting to try. The Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle is one of them.
