well i have spent 30+ weeks there and will be skiing there for new years....
I am useless with names but want to book it before i arrive as last year in VT i did not get a meal on New years eve as they were all fully booked...
fave restaurants there is the one on left side of main street in the middle down the stairs that does awesome duck...
there are so many good ones... will do a fondue another night but thats easy sorted... just two of us...
soup - duck - Crème brûlée is a god meal for me...
recommendations and names please -any nice restaurant for dinner thats not stupid expensive - will get a french speaking friend to call in next day or two...

The "restaurant" on the left hand side is that when travelling from La Daille towards the Tourist Office?
If yes then you may be referring to the Taverne D'Alsace which is under the Kandahar Hotel and Billabong Shop. The restaurant Tel +33 4 79 06 48 49. It is the rustic restaurant with a photo of Tiger Woods with Jean Claude Killy at the bottom of the stairs.
The Perdrix Blanche has been replaced by a new Fondue Restaurant but I don't have the number nor have I been there. The Casserole is the "wooden chalet" restaurant near the bus station which offers fondues, pierre chaud (hot stone) and brasserade (charcoal grill on the table).
The Val d'isere website used to list all of the restaurants but I haven't checked the new website for restaurants.
The Corniche Restaurant Tel +33 4 79 06 18 75.

There is a Michelin-starred restaurant at Le Fornet - L'atelier d'Edmon. It might be worth investigating, although I have never eaten there.

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

Yea you are talking about the Taverne d'Alsace - agree food in there is right up your street.
Depends whether you want to be in the thick of the action afterwards or not.... or whether it is meal, drinks then bed without hitting the tiles afterwards. Other options I would suggest are Sur La Montagne - they usually do something special and have a good atmosphere in there.... you could also try the Toviere hotel in La Daille (yes I know my wife works there in the Summer but the food and service is good in there and they have done special evenings and meals on New Years eve in the past. In fact Clare tells me that it is a set menu for €92 that night - which includes a gala meal (8 courses) and all sorts - not sure if that is out of the league or not. I should think that most places will either be really expensive or have a set menu which is rather long... it may just be a case of calling around everywhere I am afraid!
