The story
Set in the alpine village of Cogne, just outside Aosta, Coeur de Bois is the restaurant of the Hotel Miramonti, a charme hotel that has long been a fixture of the valley. The restaurant’s name—"Heart of the Wood"—hints at its warm, rustic soul, and the dining room reflects the same understated elegance found throughout the hotel.
Open daily for both lunch and dinner, Coeur de Bois serves a menu rooted in classic Italian cuisine, with a focus on the rich, hearty flavours of the Aosta Valley. The kitchen draws on local traditions, using ingredients that speak to the mountain landscape: robust cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal produce, prepared with a respect for simplicity and depth of flavour. While the menu changes with the seasons, the approach remains constant—honest, generous, and deeply satisfying.
The dining experience is complemented by the hotel’s own charm: a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a pause in the day’s mountain adventures. In warmer months, outdoor seating is available, allowing guests to dine with views of the surrounding peaks and the crisp Alpine air.
Coeur de Bois has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that underscores its commitment to quality and consistency. It is a place where the food is the focus, not the fuss—a restaurant that knows exactly what it is and does it well. Whether you are a guest at the hotel or a traveller passing through Cogne, a meal here is a genuine taste of the Aosta Valley’s culinary heritage.
