 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
We're off to Plan Peisey on 18 Jan with Esprit, staying in Chalet Renard. It's our first ski holiday as a family, as we're taking our almost two year old daughter with us. We'll obviously need to sort ourselves out for staff night off and would like to take her out with us for dinner. We're prepared to eat early and she's not a terribly fussy eater (an omelette will always do!) but I was looking for some recommendations as to where we might be able to eat.
Thanks very much in advance.

Always enjoyed Mont Blanc Bar in Peisey, decent grub, not too expensive, lots of classic style pub grub on offer and English speaking staff, mostly from our fair isle (whether that is a positive or not is highly debatable and down to personal preference I suppose).

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

Most french restaurants are welcoming and nice with kids especially if you eat early.

We often stayed in the Hotel Vanoise with our kids aged 12 months and up and it was always fine and as Pam says welcoming x 3.

Checkout la Vache on lunchtime, and that might be an option - great for adults not quite so sure about what it offers for kids / timings
The restaurant next to the vanoise always used to do good pizzas

The Solan is the restaurant just next to the Vanoise Express. It is dire, I have very rarely had a decent meal there. The last time we sent back bloody chicken kebabs several times. Before that we have waited for an hour plus for pizza. Food poor, prices high, staff rude. Quite alright for a coffee or a beer but I'd really rather never eat there again.
The Mont Blanc is good but is in Vallandry and up the hill so possible on the chalet staff night out with a buggy and a tiny bit of a walk. It is quite as described above, burgers, pints, seasonaires with bobble hats on. Great for a bit of warmth at lunchtime on a cold snowy day but possibly not where I'd like one of the few meals out I get a year.
The Vanoise Hotel is up the hill a little from the Esprit Chalets and is a very nice French Hotel with French staff, a French chef and a good restaurant. Probably about the same as Solan price wise so it's a no-brainer. I'd go there.

Alternatively if toddler not great at evening meals out, or if you are skint, or if you just can't be bothered with it all there are takeaway pizzas to be had. There is a trateiur (sp??) a bit down the road from the Esprit Chalets on the left and a Spar a bit up the road.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@MrsM, Slightly down the hill from the Esprit chalets is Chez Felix, Lucette (the proprietress) has fairly recently acquired grandchildren & she seems very happy to have little ones in there. I wouldn't recommend the Blanc with a todder! There is also a takeaway pizza place next to Armoise restaurant (even closer to Esprit chalets) that does amazing pizza. You can eat in too, but they only have a few tables.

Should add, Chez Felix is closed on Mondays.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks all, some good recommendations. I think Mont Blanc would have been the place we ended up in days gone by, but perhaps not on this holiday! We might not end up skiing all day every day so might have chance to try a few! Now there's just the snow to think about/ sort out!
