Ok most of us only had 1 course but we did have wine and beer. The portions are good and decent atmosphere (apart from twice with the same French family next to us ith 4 boys playing DS throughout the evening). I think two out of four had two courses. But it was def 25 euro including tips as I collected the money in. Le coffee used to be fab for lunch but had seriously gone downhill last year.

@holidayloverxx, yes, well, the food miles are probably quite high.  It was the side dish part of the "meal for 2 for £20" in Waitrose. The pudding I chose was a chocolate tart, absolutely gigantic for two. It fed 6 of us very nicely, with a modest scoop of home made raspberry sorbet, last night. I looked at the food values - one-sixth of the tart was 367 calories. And it was supposed to be for just two! My son re-named it the "Waitrose Get Fat Together Menu".

Two steaks, 1 duck confit and 1 pizza, a tarte au pomme and an ice cream, a cola, 2 small beers and a glass of white. Bought a tarte au pomme from tesco last week to serve 4 and it cost £4.50 and that is without it being heated or any cream.

79c for a 66cl bottle here in Italy - although that is in the supermarket. For some reason we bought a crate full.
In the bars it's anything up to €3.50 for 50cl, or even more if you want the fantastic Birra Rosso.

@pam w, 
@red 27, Hmmm, I am often disappointed by the coffee in Austria, but then again I am no connoisseur
@jellybabe, Very good, I usually go starter and main course, or main and a cafe gourmande which is a bit more expensive, also proper bottle of wine. i never seem to want what is on the menu du jour!

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

Lidll in Bordeaux charge 4.99 euro for 24 50cl beers. If heading to the alps by car stop at superu buy in bulk and sign up for their equiv of a clubcard for discounts.

cost that for a small beer in many places - and small in Italy can be as small as 20cl.
Sorry @red 27, I find it hard to believe that anyone makes coffee better than the Italians. And normally for not much more than €1.

You know it makes sense.
|
@holidayloverxx, now you mention it I was thinking of the coffee in Arosa recently and of course that is in Switzerland these days so I'm talking garbage..
Ooooh it was lovely though - thick, rich, syrupy with a golden texture as it goes down, Served in it's own little pot with hot milk in a matching one. If I could get that in London I'd pay almost as much as a beer in Plaine costs

Any Flaine regulars know if any of the bars will show the FA Cup games at the weekend? Liverpool kick off at 4pm (UK) on Sunday so my ski team are hoping to watch it somewhere.

that does sound a lot but I paid £3.60 for a glass of ginger beer in a very ordinary pub yesterday, so £6.15 for a pint of beer doesn't sound so bad.

If it's on SKY you should be OK at Diamant Noir or the White Grouse (& possibly the Flying Dutchman depending what's on in Holland)
