Looking for any (preferably slope-side)restaurants anywhere in Les Arcs, not to expensive but good quality food and not the usual sausage and chips.. any ideas?

The Arpette, between 1600 and 1800, is good value for money, also the place at the bottom of Pré St Espirit has good self-service.
And of course La Ferme, at Villaroger.

Blanche Muree, above 1800, & La Vache in Plan Peisey. Also La Cordee, just as you come down into Plan Peisey, above The Vanoise Express

I was out there last week and discovered a place called Aux Enfants Terribles, on the slope side just below the top of the Vallandry and Peisey lifts. It had a great self-service restaurant (as well as a snack bar and a proper waitress service restaurant which I didn't investigate) with a big selection of Savoyard dishes, plus lasagne, pasta, homebaked pizzas, salads and tarts etc. Really good Plat de Jour for 14 Euros. Tartiflette and salad was I think 12 Euros. Massive helpings too. I ended up eating in there several times as both the food and the atmosphere was so nice. Big outdoor terrace for when the sun was shining too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

What's expensive?
Belliou La Fumee isn't the cheapest (20 odd euro a main), but the food and ambience are near perfect.

I love Blanche Muree, the crepes in the afternoon are massive. Great terrace, and the vin chaude is not too bitter

OK, my favourites, based on over 20 years of visiting the resort, are in order of where I go most often:
Chalet Pre st Espirit, Good open fire when its cold and nice terrace when its hot - and the food is very good value
Arpette - big self service and a rather idiosyncratic table served area
Cordee - excellent plat d'Jour and steak tatare. If this is full, as it often is with English, then the hotel at the other side of the piste is equally as good.
Rocky Mountain in Arc 1600, only 5m from the end of the piste and 50 back to the lift. The best and cheapest burghers in Les Arc
Cairn in Arc 1600, good price, and very friendly staff, but average food, The same could be said for most of the restaurants in 1600
I often stop at the Aux Enfants Terribles for a coffee. Carrying a tray of food upstairs in ski boots is not my idea of fun.
I have not been to the Aguille Grive since the refurbishment.
The two new restaurants are not bad, but do not appear to offer any advantage over the above.

Having not read the Trip Advisor comments before I went out there, and having just picked the place at random on the first day on the slopes, I was amazed to see that it had a few bad reviews. I guess some people are just very fussy (or fussier than me anyway) or hyper-sensitive to the behavior of the restaurant staff, to the extent that it wrecks their entire holiday if they get a single gruff Gallic shrug.
I thought it was a great place; big portions of good food, loads of choice, good value, lovely atmosphere and nice and quick to get food via the self-service counter (I hate faffing around waiting for orders to get taken at table-service places).

CathS, how do you know the service is poor (ie possibly more than a single shrug) if you go to the self-service area? Nor has anyone said anything about their holiday being ruined.

You know it makes sense.

thefatcontroller, I've a feeling La Ferme is going to be a muddy walk by week of the 5th! Rather looks like we need to condition ourselves to enjoying a bit of a slushfest for that and the following week...

+1 from me. Interesting building and decor too. The desserts less good than the mains I felt.

Always remember,the worst day on the slopes is still better than the best day in work.

johnE, 2 new restaurants? Do tell! We have let our place for the full season this year and haven't skied in Les Arcs since last Easter...
We like the Solliet on the way down from Aiguille Rouge to Villaroger.
We have an ongoing Mousse au Chocolat rating system started by my daughter at age 12 and the winner is still...Arpette. And she has tried all of them....  she's 22 now
