 Poster: A snowHead
|
I’m off for a long weekend soon with my girlfriend to Val Thorens, which happens to coincide (fairly closely) to her birthday, so i’d take it as an opportunity to take her out to a nice restaurant (plus it has the added bonus of giving sone nice skiing weekend memories, making it easier to persuade her to do more going forward!  )
Just wondered if anyone had any restaurant recommendations? And if the more expensive restaurants had any kind of dress code? (I don’t tend to pack anything too smart when I go skiing!!)

Chalet de la Marine just off the Dalles piste is very nice. They do evening excursions there by snowmobile as well I think as it's very close to town. Definitely not noticed a dress code!
It has a Michelin Fork which is apparently a big deal. It is also not cheap, but they do have an amazing range of cakes for pudding.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

+1 for Chalet de la Marine - rustic atmosphere etc makes for a nice ambience too.

Cheers, looks like a really good option - it appears that they are only open in the evenings on Wednesday, or have I got that wrong?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No idea unfortunately, although this time of year they may well be opening fewer evenings I guess?
For what it's worth, when we booked lunch there last week, they asked that we come by in the morning (or call in the morning) for lunchtime that day. They don't seem to accept bookings for lunch at least except on the day. Husband got there at about 9.15 to book for lunch and they thought they were full already, although luckily they managed to find us a table. So it's very popular!

Chalet De La Marine is great and an old favourite. Lunch or evenings. Coming up strongly on the rails is http://gb.chezpepenicolas.com/index.php . . . . a bit of a hike but think they may do a minibus or taxi won't be expensive
These are probably better than restaurants in the hotels which is your other option

Le Blachot in the town centre is very nice.
Good typical French cuisine and a nice atmosphere.
