Welcome to Evolution

Evolution was established in 2004 and has become a firm favourite amongst locals and returning holidaymakers. Open all year round, this all-encompassing mountain venue serves delicious homemade cuisine both day and night.

The kitchen draws on a cosmopolitan menu — Pan Asian, Mediterranean, classic French and English favourites — with locally produced food, fast-paced bistro-style lunches and a relaxed à la carte evening service. Alongside the food there is a unique selection of cocktails, world wines and live acoustic music.
