Oxalys, French restaurant in Briançon, France
Oxalys is a French restaurant in the center of Briançon that serves regional mountain cuisine. Inside, the space has wooden tables and warm lighting, and there is also an outdoor terrace for dining outside.
Briançon is one of the highest towns in Europe and has been an important Alpine crossing point for centuries. Oxalys has become part of the town's dining life within this long-established setting.
Oxalys sits on Rue Centrale, one of the main streets of Briançon's old town, surrounded by stone buildings. The restaurant is also known as a spot for marriage proposals, and the staff sometimes help arrange a special surprise for couples.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the center of Briançon and from the train station. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends or during busy seasons, as the space is not large.
Oxalys accepts holiday vouchers in addition to standard payment methods, which is not common in many French mountain restaurants. Pets are also welcome inside, so travelers with animals do not have to leave them behind.
