 Poster: A snowHead

We've had a lot of disagreement about mountain lunches recently, so here's a chance to even it up. Here's a space to post your favourites during the season !!
Please post
1 Name of restaurant, resort and location (piste, nearest lift, in village etc etc).
2 Cost per head excluding drinks. Some of us may drink water, others Bollinger.
3. Photo of meal and/or restaurant.
4. Why it was the best meal? (You can post more than once, after all what was good in January may be surpassed by that lunch in the sun in April).

1 - Albonabahn II Gondola - Stuben (mid Dec 2017)
2 - Not sure, probably about €2.50
3 - Squashed Ham and cheese sandwich and energy bar (no pic sorry)
4 - Lapping powder all day on Stuben North Face, so no time for a fancy lunch. Was an awesome day and lunch tasted so good among the smiles

So far for this season (only done 1 trip)
1 - L'Alpage (self service) - Tignes (Le Lac) top of the Chaudannes lift
2 - Average cost 15 eu
3 - Omelette and or Spag Bol
4 - Enormous portions ( an Omelette I almost couldn't finish ( prolly cos' of the side salad ) and a Spag Bol I needed a spoon to finish off the remaining sauce). Very happy and accommodating staff. Incredible views underneath the the Aiguille Percee.
Additional - Prior to discovering this cafe, my preferred venue in Tignes has always been Aspen burger in Val Claret. However, even I can't eat a burger every day for lunch and L'Alpage with it's large menu and portions ticked every box for me during the PSB
edit - it also tasted bloody good !
2nd edit - a distinct charm, and a great atmosphere.

Can’t remember any names, but... at the top of the gondola in Soldeu: 3x cold chips, 1x beer, 1x coke, 1x mulled wine, 1x hotdog = €30.50. Gulp.
In town today, again can’t remember the name (I know, I’m crap) 1x snails, 1x soup, 1x chicken, 1x rabbit stew, 2x tiramisu, 2x lemoncello, 1x bottle red wine (turned down 2x coffee) = €35

And here was me thinking the cuisine was the important thing

@under a new name, isn't it all about the experience ? Cuisine alone does achieve a michelin star.
That said, I'm hoping to visit Courmayeur again this season and I already know where my 1 st port of call is for lunch - looking forward to adding that to this thread

Food, views, location. A friend new to the area said to me last year when eating lunch outside 'this is actually paradise'.

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

Chiecco, Courmayeur. Haven’t been this season but last time I went it worked out about €50 euros a head excluding drinks (from memory). Simply the best on mountain food I’ve ever had.

You know it makes sense.

Not much this season,
But lets put down:
Berggasthaus Mostelberg in Sattel
Really Good Rosti with Raclette cheese
washed down with local beer.
followed by Coffee and stracciatella Ice Cream
There was about 4 of us had this + Chips Und Ketchup + Sausage with onion gravy.
the bill was only 175Chf and as there are about 3.4 Swiss Francs to the pound I thought it was also very reasonable.
They also take credit cards.
The sun was shining and it was warm out side which made it all worth while.

While indeed, the whole experience is the thing, I would not be taken with a recommendation of,
“go to “X”, they do great omelettes after a powder day when I was too hungover for breakfast”,
when looking for fine alpine dining...

Well the OP has no mention of "fine dining" so I guess everything's in play - from Michelin stars to a bowl of gulaschsuppe in a mountain hut.

You must have had two courses!! Plus 1 for Chiecco, however............
My vote goes to La Grolla half way down the piste from Pre de Pascal to Zerrotta. I ate there twice this week with Mrs Skimastaaah, Christmas day in glorious sunshine outside with Monte Bianco as the back drop. Varied menu with starters up to 15 Euros, and mains up to around 30 Euros. Good wine list with prices from mid 20's to expensive champagnes, local 50 cl pichers from 8 Euros.
Pleasant staff, lovely panoramic terrace upstairs, leather loungers in the downstairs restaurant.

@agw, it is indeed. I may be posting my rustic 'plat du jour' from a hut in Serre Che next week sometime, but it couldn't be classed as fine dining.
