Cauterets has a wide range of restaurants, most of which are based in the town centre, offering enough different cuisines to suit everybody's tastes. Set menus are popular and even in the more expensive restaurants you can always find a good value meal. For vegetarians there are always the ubiquitous fondue and raclette restaurants but many others will 'tweak' dishes for you.
Because Cauterets is mainly a family resort you will find that the apres-ski is fairly low-key, with the town centre becoming buzzy by the end of the afternoon. There are various patisseries in town with tea rooms so you can treat yourselves to tea and a large piece of cake in front of a log fire.
The restaurants at Cirque du Lys and Pont d'Espagne cater for most skiers lunches, there are also several nearby restaurants in the mountains that are well worth a visit, even if they aren't part of the ski area. Le Pont d'Espagne and Reine Hortense Hostelerie are our favourite restaurants for lunch on the mountain.
Town restaurant:
Hotel Le Sacca, one of the best places to eat in Cauterets.
